This product includes a 1-year warranty from the date of purchase covering manufacturing defects.
Can I adjust the time while the clock is hanging?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the clock, insert the appropriate battery into the rear compartment, ensuring the correct polarity. Use the adjustment dial on the back to set the current time before mounting the clock on a stable wall hook. For maintenance, keep the clock away from areas with excessive moisture or extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect the internal mechanism. Clean the exterior occasionally with a dry, soft cloth to prevent dust buildup on the matt black case and the glass front. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents that could damage the finish.
