ELGIN QUARTZ ANN CLOCK/"C" BATT Question: Please, can you tell me the use for the buttons on back? I've misplaced the instructions but should be able to set the chime/time once I can identify the difference between "H" (blk button) and "S" (red button). I need to decrease the speed. We moved from southern California and in the process misplaced the instructions! I love this clock which was given to me by my then employers about 1980...lovely chimes, and it survived the 1994 Northridge, CA earthquake. I boxed it up and have just now unpacked it. I am running it just to hear the chimes though I need to reset the timing. In the process of trying to set the chime for the next hour, I used the wrong button. Thank you for your kind reply...even if you don't have the answer. J Burns, Mariposa, CA

Answer

Jeanne, I'm sorry but I just don't have programing information on chiming quartz clocks. There were many different types made by the manufacturers and instructions aren't readily available. Typically, instructions that come with the clock are misplaced and with so many different models, each was unique and does not apply to others. I have been able to decipher some to be able to program them, but that is time consuming and sometimes unsuccessful. Sorry I could not be of any help.
