Support
Two buttons, one cable. Most answers fit on this page.
Setting up
The clock arrives charged to 60 percent and already running. It sets itself from the time signal the first time it sees a window.
The two buttons
The left button changes the face. The right button, held for three seconds, opens the menu; the display shows SET while it is open.
What the menu holds
- Time zone and the 12 or 24 hour face
- When the night face begins and ends
- How often the paper refreshes
Charging
Any USB-C charger works. A full charge takes about two hours; see how long each size lasts or order a spare cable.
Questions
Does it need wireless?
No. It reads the time signal by radio and keeps time by itself between readings.
Can the face be changed?
Yes, with the left button. Four faces come installed.
What if the battery wears out?
The workshop replaces it. The back opens with two screws.
