MOUNTING

You can place the clock on a flat surface
using the built-in stand, or mount it on a
wall using a screw (not supplied).

Selecting a Location

Choose an indoor location:

• where the clock will not be in direct

sunlight

• away from heat or cold sources

such as stoves, heating and air con-
ditioning vents, and radiators

• not near a TV, high power cable, or

metal table (because these could
interfere with radio signal reception)

Using the Stand

To set the clock on
a flat surface, pull
the built-in stand
away from the back
of the clock.

Mounting the Clock on a Wall

To mount the clock on a wall, you need
a

with a head that fits into the keyhole slot
on the back of the clock.

mounting location.

2. Thread a screw into the wall until the

head extends about

screw and slide the thermometer
down to secure it.
