VII. Instructions and Technical Considerations
Operating Instructions
1. Install 4 new "C" size alkaline batteries (any brand will
work). However, please do not use "titanium" or "heavy
duty" batteries, we recommend Duracell brand batteries.
2. Turn the On/Off switch on the back to the Off position.
3. Set the time and move the alarm hand counterclockwise
until it clicks upon reaching the hour hand.
4. Slide the On/Off switch to the On position and listen to
the first strike of the chime. The next strike will occur in
3-1/2 minutes as shown in the graph on page 32.
You may hear the first chime strike again by turning the On/Off
switch to the Off position for 2 seconds then back to "On." The
first chime may appear soft but as the chimes increase in frequen-
cy over the next 10 minutes you will find yourself gradually
awakened.

Adjust the Chime for the Best Sound
Your Zen Alarm Clock is like an acoustic musical instrument.
You may have to adjust its sound to your taste. Adjust the chime
by firmly scooting the chime bar up or down on the string. The
idea is to move the chime directly in front of the striker tip. To
check the position of the striker and the chime, pick up the clock
and hold it face down, then look at the chime from the side in pro-
file so you can see the striker sticking out. Then move the chime
into position by firmly pulling it up or down on the string (as
shown in diagram) so that the striker hits the chime squarely—
shown in profile like this: -O.
After testing the chime strike you may want to adjust the chime
bar for the best sound by moving one end of the chime bar up or
down, and then then other end until the chime bar is directly in
front of the striker tip.
