and batteries will maintain voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years can deplete the power. ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ We suggest a name-brand Alkaline battery. A minimum voltage of 1.48V is necessary for proper performance. Use a battery dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in performance.

⋅ ⋅ This is a Time Zone issue. Hold your Time Zone button for 5 seconds. The clock should correct itself. Check that DST is on. Press and release the small, unmarked gray button between the ET and CT button one time. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ Dependent on your location, the position of the clock in your home, and atmospheric interference, it may take up to 5 nights for the change from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time and vice-versa to occur. Check that the DST selector bar is in the ON position.

WHY DO THE HANDS SPIN ONCE OR TWICE EVERYDAY? ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ When the hands spin about the same time every day the clock is auto-correcting the time. The hour hand should not spin more than twice around the clock. Hands may spin if the battery is underpowered or over powered. Use only Alkaline batteries in the clock. HANDS SPIN NON-STOP ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ This is indicative of a low or overpowered battery (number 1 warranty issue).
