Using your elegant classical table clock is a breeze. First, get a D battery (it's not included in the package). Open the battery compartment at the back of the clock and insert the battery. Set the time according to the 12 - hour AM/PM mode. Place the clock on a flat surface in your desired spot at home. When it comes to temperature, keep the clock in an environment between - 10℃ and +50℃ (14℉ and 122℉) to ensure its accuracy. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the clock's surface to keep its metallic sheen. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the clock. Check the battery regularly and replace it when the clock starts to slow down or stop working.
