Correct strike count as follows:

Turn the minute hand (long hand) backwards to 1:40 as shown as the shaded area above until a click is heard. Slowly move the minute hand forwards to 2 o'clock and allow the clock to strike. (This will be the strike for 12:30). Again move the minute backwards to 1:40 as shown as the shaded area above until a click is heard. Slowly move the minute hand forwards to 2 o'clock and allow the clock to strike. (The the strike for 1 o'clock). Repeat this procedure for 1:30 and again until the clock strikes 2 o'clock as the hands indicate. This brings the strike into sequence.

To set the clock to the correct time, move the minute hand forward to 2:30 and allow it to strike, then to 3 o'clock and allow to strike. Continue this procedure until the clock is set to the correct time.
