Wake up in the morning to this Sony ICFC1TWHITE AM/FM dual-alarm clock radio that features a gradual wake alarm to gently bring you out of sleep. The large, easy-to-read LCD ensures you can view the time in a variety of lighting environments.
Q: Tuner Knob
A: Has one but good luck finding the station as nothing indicates where you are on frequency spectrum so you have to go first one way and then the other to find the station you nwant.
Q: Set the alarm for radio, but get the buzzer.
A: Follow the steps exactly for programming: the buzzer is the default. I had to do this twice: first, make sure you program a radio station as one of the presents (1,2,3 etc.) And, as you go through the programming function, remember to hit the snooze bar (ENTER) after each programming selection. I didn't have the station programmed the first time and the result was the default buzzer.
Q: How do you turn off the radio?
A: look at the instruction diagram. It is small on the left top of radio. It should be bigger and colored to make more obvious. It does say "off".
A: You choose your time zone and the clock will synch up with shortwave radio signal from WWV, keeps accurate time via atomic clock in Fort Collins, Colorado or somewhere else in Hawaii (I think). If you live in a big concrete building like I do or around lots of big buildings, it does not receive well. Anyway, you can still set the time yourself, but it is cool to have it synch automatically. There is also a button for daylight savings time so it keeps your time accurate.
Q: Does the alarm work on the battery backup?
A: Yes, it does!
Q: what is (are) the power source?
A: The radio has an electrical cord, has a disc battery backup for when the electric might go off line,is automatically set to EST. the buttons are set on back of radio if you have to change time zone.
A: Yes. Very clear. You have to extend the electric cord all the way out for the antenna to work. Once done, all local stations come in clear.
Q: can you pre-set various radio stations?
A: No, it's strictly manual tuning.
