With the minute hand at the 12:00 position, manually rotate the hour hand (not the minute hand) to the position to match the hour strike. Hour strike count does not match position of the hour hand: For example, the hands show 2:00 and the clock strikes 3 times at the top of the hour.Make certain the hour and minute hands don’t cross or touch. Clock is slow: Make certain the hands do not rub on the dial or glass.Make certain the speaker wires in the closed door position do not interfere with the pendulum’s swinging motion. Also check that the pendulum is properly located on the pendulum hanger. Pendulum will not swing: To provide proper pendulum operation, it is necessary to ensure that the clock is level side-to-side and front-to-back.As necessary, adjust the battery tabs to ensure they are making proper electrical contact with the circular metal contact area of the battery. Make certain that the + and - battery tabs are positioned completely on the circular metal contact area of the battery – not on the outer battery casing. Ensure that the batteries are fully inserted.

Do not mix old and new batteries or alkaline and non-alkaline batteries.Ī poor electrical connection on one or more batteries can also cause performance issues. Ensure that you are using brand new alkaline batteries and they are installed following the + and - symbols. Old and exhausted batteries is the primary cause for the movement to malfunction while keeping time, playing a melody, or swinging the pendulum (on some models).

Battery-operated, quartz dual chime movement will not operate.
