BATTERY REPLACEMENT

If the clock stops, begins to lose time or the chime becomes weak or erratic, it is usually the indication of

Never leave exhausted batteries in the clock as they can leak and damage the clock.

 

NOTE: Any time the batteries are removed from the clock, the chime must be reset as described in the HOURLY STRIKE SETTING section.
