A:AnswerThe alarm can be turned off temporarily with the Snooze button, until the next day with the Power/Alarm Reset button, or cancelled completely by pressing the Alarm button twice.
A:AnswerSound is descent for a small monaural speaker. Better than your phone but if you want even better sound go with something with two speakers. It was perfect for the bathroom/shower where space is limited and doubles as a night light. Perfect for what we wanted.
A:AnswerThe iB29 will not work for this specific need. Please take a look at the iHome iAVS16 to wake your son up to his Spotify App (must have a premium Spotify account).
A:AnswerI've been using this clock less than a month and I do exactly this. There's multiple settings on the clock radio and I have three alarms set (the clock has 2 alarms): 1st is my just iphone (it still works independently even when connected via bluetooth or physically), 2nd is my iphone THROUGH the clock and the 3rd is just the clock radio.
A:AnswerThe top of the unit has two lines of buttons, one behind the other (see user manual for design: https://www.ihomeaudio.com/media/uploads/product/files/iBT29_User_Manual.pdf) . I myself find there's a "learning period" where I had to mash a few buttons half asleep to make the thing shut up in the morning or the snooze would go off again, a good feature if you have issue with getting out of bed in the morning.
A:AnswerThere is no provision for an external antenna connection, but any DIYer should be able to splice another length of wire to the existing antenna wire to bring in a stronger signal.
A:AnswerThe tones gradually get louder. It has radio as well so you can turn on the volume up really loud. You can turn the volume loud and have it work with the Bluetooth device. If your a very heavy sleeper the tones may not be loud enough.
A:AnswerYes I have an older ipod nano that doesn't have bluetooth that I do this with. You attach the shuffle to the back of the clock with an auxiliary cable through the headphone jack on the iPod. One comes with the clock, however it is very short. You can listen to your iPod shuffle, wake up or fall asleep to music.
