We have had no problems in the 3-4 years we owned the clock, however recently it stopped, I replaced the battery now it continues to revolve and does not reset itself. I have pushed the reset button and ET for eastern time but it continues to rotate.

Hello
After replacing the bettery you have to setup your clock. I'll give details how to stup it.


To set up your clock simply install one fresh AA, LR6 ALKALINE battery. Due to the nature of long wave radio signals it is normally not possible to receive a signal during the day so it is best to install the battery late in the evening. Select your time zone by pressing one of the four time zone buttons PT-Pacific Time, MT-Mountain Time, CT-Central Time, ET-Eastern Time. The time zone buttons may be pressed any time after installing the batteries. If multiple buttons are pressed the clock will set to the time zone selected last. If no time zone is selected the clock will default to Pacific Time. Another time zone can be selected during or after the clock has set itself. Your clock can only set itself to one of the four time zones stated above. For time zones outside of PT, MT, CT or ET you must manually set the time using the Manual Time set button on the back of the movement.
When the battery is installed the second hand will advance eight seconds (two seconds per step x four steps). The clock is now searching for a signal. For the initial setting it is recommended to stand the clock in an upright position near a window. Within five minutes the clock will either receive the WWVB signal and set itself to the exact time, or it will determine that the signal is not receivable at its current location and time of day. If a signal is not receivable it will fast-forward the hands to the 4, 8, or 12 o'clock position and search for WWVB each

hour until a signal is received. If the time is manually set the clock will continue to periodically search for a signal and automatically reset the hands when the signal is received.
Select a location to place your radio controlled clock where it will be at least six feet away from a TV, computer, air conditioner or other household electrical appliances. The optimal location is near a window. Windows facing Colorado providing the best signal. The WWVB time signal will easily penetrate Masonry and wood framed buildings. WWVB will penetrate almost every residential building and most steel buildings if they have adequate windows. It is not possible, however, for WWVB to penetrate most indoor shopping malls and rooms in the center of large office buildings that do not have windows. In buildings that WWVB cannot penetrate you may set the time using the manual time set button. When the clock is exposed to the WWVB signal it will automatically set the hands to the exact time.
OK.

I have a simple battery operated wall clock that has recently started to either completely stop or slows down. I replaced the batteries and it continues to do the same thing, BUT when I put the clock in a...

Hi Kristi,

Wall clocks use mechanical movements. They are machines having coil and crystal. The functioning of these coil and crystal is interrupted by magnetic fields. So maybe there's electrical wiring underneath the spot on the wall where you hang the clock. Or there's some other source of interfering magnetic field in the neighborhood of the clock, like a big Television or a big enough Speaker etc.
I would recommend trying another similar clock to see if it reacts the same way in that spot.

Hello. I own a 40 to 50 year old "Timex Electronic" watch. There is a number date at the 3 o'clock position. I see no other identifying info on the outside. I don't have a battery for it. How

Hello,

What is the exact model of the watch. I have several Timex Electronic watches that might fit your description. If you pop the caseback do you see the old battery inside? Most batteries would have a reference like: CR2016.

I have zanussi aquacycle fls1183w and it started stopping halfway through cycle light stays on

Has still a conventional timer clock?
Then most probably a piece broke of.
In the old days on those I would open it up see which tooth broke of by revolving the timer and replace carefully with a little screw after carefully drilling into the plastic, obtaining the same heighth. Happily lived 10 years more.
