Will the clock automatically adjust for British Summer Time?

What is the diameter of the clock face?

What material is the frame made of?
The frame of the clock is made of silver aluminum.
Where is the best place to put the clock for optimal signal reception?
For the best reception, place the clock on a wall near a window or in an open area, away from large metal objects or electronic devices that might interfere with the radio signal.
How long does a battery typically last?
Battery life can vary depending on the battery type and environmental conditions, but typically a good quality AA battery can last for a year or more in this energy-efficient movement.
Troubleshooting
Clock is not showing the correct time or has stopped.
Ensure a new AA battery is correctly inserted with the right polarity. Try relocating the clock to a different area, preferably closer to a window or in a more open space, to improve radio signal reception. Allow up to 15 minutes for the clock to synchronize after inserting a new battery or moving it.
Clock does not automatically adjust for daylight saving.
Verify that the clock is receiving a stable radio signal. If the signal is weak or lost during the transition period, the automatic adjustment may not occur. Ensure the clock is placed in an optimal location for signal reception and allow time for resynchronization.
The clock face appears smudged or dirty.
Gently clean the glass lens and frame with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry immediately. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
