The days of the week were displayed in English until I fell and it landed on the floor. I hardly know any Spanish. I looked at all the buttons and couldn't find one for language. i tried those buttons but I didn't find English. A week later I called the place From which I had ordered it. I told the person who answered the phone what had happened and that I had misplaced the instructions. He made a few suggestions that didn't help. Then he said it might help to call customer service in the morning. I thanked him and decided to keep trying on my own. After a few minutes an idea popped into my brain: I removed the batteries and put them back in. VOILA!

:clap:

Hope you enjoy your new purchase.
All of my clocks keep stopping. I need to go out and buy some better batteries!

Enjoy your clock !!

I have a round quarts clock with The Lord is my Shepherd scripted on it and a sketched shepherd sitting by a rock with His staff,depicting Jesus. I love it but it periodically stops or suddenly you realize it lost 30 minutes so it must have stopped in the night. Quartz usually runs or it doesn't but are generally very accurate. I just got it in April for my birthday from a sister in Christ who knows Psalm 23 is my favorite and taken me through many hard times. I'll mess with the battery some more but right now it's running fine.

I use a pretty old digital alarm clock that isn't in sync anymore. Overnight it goes ahead about several minutes. Personally I find it charming to have to always readjust it.. and don't have the heart to get a new one as of yet.

If it went backwards it would be a problem.. but I don't mind if it wakes me up a little early before work.
