Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your clock, insert two D-cell batteries into the designated compartment on the back, observing correct polarity. Once powered, use the manual adjustment wheel typically found on the side or back of the unit to set the current time. To ensure longevity, avoid placing the clock in areas with high humidity or extreme dust, as these factors can interfere with the delicate internal flip cards. Clean the exterior casing with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to maintain the gold finish's luster. If dust accumulates on the cards, use a gentle puff of compressed air to clear the mechanism; never use liquid cleaners on the display area.
