I have a WALTHAM DOLPHIN CHIME ANNIVERSARY CLOCK PORCELAIN It uses 2 AA batteries and a red button to set the chime, but I have lost my instructions. Can you help?

Troubleshoot the issue. Here are some steps you can take:

Check the Chime Selection Lever:
Ensure that the chime selection lever is not set to the "silent" position. Sometimes, accidentally setting it to silent mode can prevent the chimes from sounding.

Inspect the Cam with Humps:
The Westminster mechanical clock has a cam with humps on the front plate of the movement. These humps control when the movement stops chiming.

Run the chime by turning the hand (you can mount it with the nut, but it's not necessary). Observe the cam with the humps spinning.
Wait until it reaches the end of the smallest hump (which represents the first quarter, the shortest chime).

Stop the gear train from moving with your fingers and hold it.
Adjust the hammers from the back of the movement to match the position where the last hammer drops after the 1-2-3-4-5 hammers strike in a row, representing the end of the first quarter.
Tighten the cam so that the bar riding the cam is just after the smallest hump. This should set the chimes correctly.

Battery Replacement:
If you've recently replaced the battery, ensure that you've used fresh C batteries with high capacity.
Batteries should be changed annually to guarantee accurate timing and consistent chime sounds.

Low Battery Warning Function:
If your clock starts behaving irregularly or the pendulum stops (if equipped), it might be due to low battery. Install new batteries to resolve this issue.

Remember, these are general guidelines, and specific models may have additional considerations. If the problem persists, consider seeking professional assistance or replacing the movement if necessary. If your clock is chain-driven, you can order the 1161-053 movement from Clockworks when you're ready to swap it out.

recheck battery --contact and gears

probably find that the clock has it's own aa battery
the pendulum has it's own aa battery and the chimes have 2 aa batteries

I have owned this exact clock for 30 years. Syncing the chimes with the time is very simple.

1. Flip the second switch from "Start" to "Set."

2. Use the thumbwheel to move the hands to the desired time.

3. Use the four "H" and "M" buttons to set the time for the chime.
— For example, if the desired time is 12:05, press the first button 1 time, the second button 2 times, skip the third button for 0, and then press the fourth button 5 times.
— If the desired time is 9:00, you only need to press the second button 9 times (all unpressed buttons default to 0).

4. When you're ready for the clock to begin using the time you've set, flip the switch from "Set" to "Start."

That's it! It's that easy.

I have the same clock. Here's what I did to re-set it after changing batteries: After replacing batteries, use the turn dial to set the correct time. Press the RED button 6 times, wait for it to go through that series of chimes, then press the button again to set the time.
Example: Press RED button 6 times. Wait for it to chime. Press RED button the correct number of times for the hour to be set. For 5:00, press the button 5 times, etc.
I lost the directions to my clock, and I am posting this from memory and also just had to re-set mine and it works OK now.
Hope this helps!

If it is like mine you press the test button until you hear the chime. Wait for the hour chime to go and count it. If it chimes once for 1PM and you need it set to 6PM then you press the test button to reset the chime and repeat press the button 5 times. This will set the chime to 6 PM. If you get lost on the time press until it makes no noise. This means you are 11PM or later and continue to then press until it makes noise again. Count the hour chimes and you are at the count in the AM. Repeat the steps and keep pressing to get to the proper AM or PM hour count..

Press the red button at the back and go through all the hourly chimes until you get to the next chime due i.e. if its 3.15 whebn your doing this, only go through the chimes until 3 o'clock and no further. Then turn the hands clockwise ONLY never anticlockwide and she should be fine.

Take the batteries out from the base, where the chime mechanism is. Wait till it gets close (20 seconds till) to a specific hour time, like 8:00 or 9:00, replace the batteries for the chime mechanism. And then count the chimes at the hour. If they are correct, you are set. If they are incorrect, turn the time back 15 minutes before the hour and bring it right back and monitor the chimes again. Hopefully this should fix it. Please post the results.
