At a glance
The clock shows the time in words in five-minute steps. Four small dots at the bottom show the minutes in between, so you can read the exact time. The on/off button is on the underside; four buttons on the side control brightness, light colour and time. No app or Wi-Fi is needed.
Unpack the clock
The clock is carefully packed to prevent damage. Unpack it with care and do not cut or pierce the packaging with sharp or hard objects. Lift or move the clock by its metal frame, never by the front. Only lay the clock face down on a soft surface, such as a towel or blanket.
Inspect the clock after unpacking. If you see any sign of damage, do not use the clock and contact us. Keep packaging materials away from young children: risk of suffocation.
Tabletop or wall mounting
Use the Tablestand
If you ordered the Tablestand, it is included in the box.
- Fit the bottom of the clock onto the feet.
- Click the back of the clock onto the feet.
- Fit the crossbar between the A-shaped feet.
To remove the feet, follow these steps in reverse order.
Hang it on a wall
Hang the clock on a screw with a wall plug that suits your type of wall. Screws and plugs are not included, because every wall is different; choosing and fitting them is your responsibility. Only hang the clock on a wall that can carry its weight (see Specifications). The power cable exits from the bottom, so leave room for the adapter lead. Place the clock at eye level or slightly above for comfortable reading.
Switch on
Once the clock is in place, let it acclimatise first so any condensation inside can evaporate.
- Insert the plug of the adapter cable into the 12 V input on the clock.When using the Tablestand, first fit the 90° angle connector onto the plug, then insert it into the 12 V input. This keeps the cable from sticking out below the clock. On the wall, the cable looks best hanging straight down, so the connector is optional there.
- Plug the adapter into a wall socket.
- Switch the clock on with the button on the underside.
An internal battery normally keeps time while the clock is unplugged.
The buttons
Besides the on/off button on the underside, the clock has four buttons on the side.
Pressed in: the light sensor adjusts the brightness to the room. While button 4 is pressed in, button 1 cannot change the brightness. To switch it off, press button 4 again.
Button 3 changes what buttons 1 and 2 do. Pressing it causes no visible change on the clock. When the clock is switched off and back on, it returns to mode 1.
| Mode | Button 1 | Button 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Mode 1 | Brightness | LED colour (7 tones) |
| Mode 2 | −1 minute | +1 minute |
| Mode 3 | −1 hour | +1 hour |
Set the time
- Press button 3 once (mode 2). Use button 1 to decrease the minute setting or button 2 to increase it.
- Press button 3 again (mode 3). Set the hour with buttons 1 and 2.
- Press button 3 a third time to return to mode 1: brightness and colour.
Read the time
The words show the time in five-minute steps. Add one minute to the displayed time for each illuminated dot.
Brightness and colour
With automatic brightness on (button 4 pressed in), the light sensor reduces the brightness of the clock in a darker room. For a fixed brightness, switch off button 4 (press it again) and use button 1 in mode 1. In mode 1, each press of button 2 selects the next of the seven LED colour tones.
