Troubleshooting
Sundial is unstable
Ensure the base is placed on a level surface. Consider adding weight to the hollow base or securing it to the ground if in a windy area.
Time is inaccurate
Verify that the sundial is receiving direct, unobstructed sunlight. Ensure it is positioned correctly according to local latitude if advanced accuracy is required. Note that sundials measure apparent solar time, not standard clock time.
Assembly is difficult
Refer to the assembly instructions provided with the product. Ensure all parts are present before starting. If issues persist, contact customer support.
Plastic finish appears faded
While designed for outdoor use, prolonged extreme sun exposure may cause some fading. Clean with a damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners.
