6. Night shut off:
Not available for clocks with '/z-hour and hour strike only (clocks with 2 weights).The night
shut-off will automatically stop the chime and strike during the night (quarter chime and hour
strike). The night silence lever is located at the figure No. 9 on the dial or can be activated with
a bar underneath the dial. Please note for both executions: top position = night silence on (no
chiming), lower position = night silence off (clock is chiming 24 hours). If chime stops in the
morning (a.m.) and re-starts in the evening (p.m.) please re-set the hands 12 hours. Beginning
and end of night shut-off feature: see picture.

Never change (switch, turn on or off) the strike and/or chime selection while the clock is striking/

Depending on the movement your clock is equipped with, different chime options are available.
To select a chime option, use the selector levers positioned to the left, right or on both sides of the
dial. Some clock models are equipe with selector rods on the side(s) below the dial or radial
switches with small selectors in the top left and right of the moon phase dial.
Please pick the strike and/or chime lever positions of the one or two selector levers, rods or radial
selectors that apply to your clock and, thus, the possible chime options from the following table:
