This guide is for setting the time and setting the chime to match the time for the Dual Chime Quartz Clock Movement with Removable Speaker.

Before you begin:

The new movement must be set BEFORE installing
Set the volume for the chime speaker to maximum by turning the volume knob clockwise (shown here)

Move the night silencer switch to left most position to 24 hour chime

Install a fresh “C” cell battery (alkaline preferred) in the direction pictured in the battery well noting positive and negative connections

Step 1

Place the Minute Hand (longer of the two) on the square shaft, tighten the small nut to hold the Minute Hand in place. This will help determine the location of the chime point on the movement.

Step 2

Using the rear-mounted Hand Set Knob, turn the knob in a Clockwise direction, to move the Minute Hand,  slowly until you hear a click (Stop turning as soon as the click starts). This should happen within one rotation.

This will trigger the chime sequence and it will begin playing the progressive melody followed by the hour indication tone.
Count the number of chimes struck after the melody plays (remember this as this is where you will mount the hour hand later).

Note: If the Minute Hand is pointed toward 6 o’clock when the click is heard, when placing it back on, re-position the Minute Hand pointing to the 12 o’clock.

Step 3

Remove the Minute Hand and mount the movement into the clock case (as pictured) using the hex nut

Step 4

Mount the Hour Hand to point according to the number of hours/chimes struck that you counted and then the Minute Hand at 12’Oclock and the Second Hand (optional). For example: If the Clock struck 3 times – the movement is set to 3 o’clock. Mount the Hour and Minute Hands to read at the 3 o’clock position.

Step 5

Now you can set the current time by using the rear-mounted Hand Set Knob in a Clockwise direction, to move the hands until the present time is reached. Be sure to stop at each click/hour to let the chime and hour count play completely before going on. Failure to stop at each hour may cause the chime to be out of sequence.

Please allow the clock movement to operate for a few hours, to chime correctly this is necessary for the mechanism to be fully operative.

TIP: If you wish the chime to sound 24 hours a day, leave the Night Chime Selector Switch in the left most position. If you wish the chime to be silent from 11:01 P.M. until 6:59 A.M., move the Night Chime Selector Switch to the A.M. or P.M. position, depending on the present time.
