Troubleshooting:
The time is slow or fast. Time accuracy is affected by temperature
which may cause the time to speed up or
slow down. (Usable temperature : 0 - 40
°C) If the time inaccuracy builds up, make
sure to turn the hands knob in the direc-
tion of the arrow to fix the correct time. Or
to change batteries.
Check these points first if the product does not appear to be working properly.
Problem Cause & Solution
The sound of the song slows down. Or
the clock is loose time.
When the cuckoo comes out and sings,
there are noises other than the cuckoo
sound.
This is the sound of the cuckoo or bird
moving. It is not a malfunction.
The cuckoo does not move back to the
house.
Cuckoo silence period is not from 10 p.m.
(22:00) to 5 a.m. (05:00).
Please take out the batteries and re-set
the time by following “Step for use” steps
(1)~(4) above.
The cuckoo might not move back to the
house during time setting process,
because the current time is in silent
period. Please leave it as it is, and the
cuckoo will resume to move and sing after
the silent period.
Or you can move back the cuckoo by
pressing “SET” button. But please take
out the batteries and re-set the time by
following “Step for use” steps (1)~(4)
above.
Please change batteries.
