Positioning Your Atmos Clock
For optimal performance, place your Atmos clock on a stable, level surface away from vibrations, shocks, and disturbances. Once positioned and running, avoid moving the clock, even when cleaning around it.
To adjust the time, gently move the minute hand clockwise using one finger.
Important: Never move the minute hand counterclockwise or touch the hour hand. Always lock the balance before adjusting the time.
Moving or Transporting Your Atmos Clock
The Atmos clock's delicate balance is suspended by an extremely fine wire, making proper handling essential.
Always lock the balance before moving your clock, even for short distances or when adjusting the time.
To lock the balance, move the locking lever to the right until it stops, timing the movement as the balance wheel reaches the end of its counterclockwise rotation, just before reversing direction.
For transportation, always use the clock's complete original packaging. If the original packaging is unavailable, consult a qualified Atmos clock specialist for appropriate packing and shipping arrangements.
