| OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING THE TIME
Set the clock to the correct time
by turning the minute hand forwards or backwards. Do not turn the
hour and as this will cause the clock to strike incorrect hour
counts.
ELECTRONIC CHIMES
The chimes are electronically
programmed and require time to become synchronized with the
hands. After setting the time, the clock must run until the next
hour chime before the quarter hour
chimes will agree with the hands.
When demonstrating the chimes or setting
the time, the clock will not chime on the quarter hours
and may chime several minutes before the hour. If the hands are
moved from one hour to the next
before the first hour chime has completely finished, the hour
strike counts may be incorrect but will
adjust correctly at the next hour.
 MOVEMENT
FUNCTIONS
Refer to the diagram for the location of the various switches and
controls.
Hand Set
Knob
This knob can be used to turn the hands, but it is more convenient
to set the time by simply moving
the minute hand directly.
Volume Control
The volume
control knob will regulate the chime volume. Turn it counter
clockwise for full volume and clockwise for less volume.
Low Battery
Indication
When the
chimes begin to sound distorted or to chime erratically, it is an
indication that the battery power is low, and the batteries must
be replaced for proper chime functions. Silencing the chimes at
night and/or selection of Bim-Bam chimes will extend battery life.

softer chimes or no chimes during the night.
