To set the time, move the minute hand counterclockwise (backwards) until hour and
minute hand are at the correct time.
When moving the minute hand counterclockwise as described, the clock will not
chime.
Never move the hour hand when setting the time. The hour hand will move
automatically.
If after setting the clock on time, it does not chime properly, this is not a defect. Let
the clock operate 1 to 2 hours. The movement has a self correcting feature which
synchronizes the chimes with the time. The synchronization can be speeded up by
moving the minute hand back 2 more hours and then turning it clockwise as described
below.
Should you elect to move the minute hand clockwise (forward) when setting the time,
it is recommended that you let the clock complete each strike cycle (quarter, half, three
quarter and full hour depending on model). The strike release will only function if the
minute hand is moved slowly past the respective release points.
Switching to day light savings time or back to regular time is done by moving the
minute hand forward or backward one hour.
If your clock gains or loses time after several hours of operation, see section 7 for
instructions on how to regulate the timekeeping of your clock.

4.2 Adjusting the moon phase dial (option)

If your clock has a moving moon dial feature, observe the following instructions.
To set the moon dial, apply slight pressure with your fingers to the front of the moon
dial and rotate the moon dial clockwise until the moon is directly below the numeral
"15" (picture 5—see page 54).
If the moon dial will not easily rotate, this indicates that the gears which automatically
advance the moon dial are engaged.
Do not force the dial forward! With the factory set-up, the dial is advanced between
10:00 P.M. and 2:00 A.M.! To release the gears rotate the minute hand backwards
depending on position up to four (4) hours as described in section 4.1. After setting the
moon phase, reset your clock to the correct time.
Using an almanac or calendar, determine the date of the last full moon. Count the
number of days past the last or before the next full moon. Turn the moon dial
clockwise or counterclockwise for every day past or before the full moon.
One click of the moon dial equals one day.
The moon dial is set now. Please note that the moon dial drive is calculated for an
average lunar month of 29½ days. Even if the clock is operating continuously it should
therefore be corrected as described from time to time (for example every 6 months
with the switch to day light savings time).
If the clock stops for more than 24 hours, the moon dial will also stop and, thus, must
be reset when the clock is starter again.

4.3 Setting the date (option)

If your clock has a dial with integrated date feature, observe the following instructions.
Set the date disk with the aid of a pointed tool (pencil or ballpoint pen) engaged in the
small holes above its numerals (picture 6 - see page 54).
