Can I hang the clock on the wall?
While the dimensions suggest it can be a freestanding piece, mounting hardware is not specified. If wall mounting is desired, ensure you use appropriate hardware suitable for the 1500g weight and the wall type.

Does the thermometer and hygrometer require batteries?

Troubleshooting
Clock is not keeping accurate time
Ensure the battery is fresh and inserted correctly. Adjust the time using the setting knob. If the issue persists, the quartz movement may need servicing.
Thermometer or Hygrometer readings seem incorrect
Ensure the unit is not placed near direct heat sources, drafts, or in areas of extreme humidity. Allow the unit time to acclimate to the environment. Check if calibration is possible via the manual; otherwise, professional servicing may be required.
Unit is dusty and difficult to clean
Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove dust from crevices before wiping with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
