FAQ’s
How can I repair the FM antenna?
You can splice the wire if the antenna is broken and you don’t want to send the radio back, provided you have enough length. To accomplish this, cut approximately half an inch around the insulation at each wire end (perpendicular to the wire) using a sharp blade. Be delicate, otherwise you risk cutting the wire that is encased in insulation. Simply twist the two ends of the wire together once there is only bare wire on either side. To assist retain the wire, you may apply a drop of super glue (I don’t typically do this). Electric tape should be used to cover the splice to keep the wires covered. If the wire is just partially torn, you can splice it back together by cutting out the damaged area. It becomes slightly more challenging if it is torn from within the appliance. Hope this is helpful.
How long can the nap alarm be programmed?
Starting with “OFF,” it can be set up in five-minute increments, moving up as follows: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and so on until reaching. [Minutes] 120. MAXIMUM ‘NAP’ SETTING OF TWO HOURS. For parents and working class stiffs, having to punch in at the office feel like a lifetime.
Is it possible to increase the snooze time on the clock from 5 to 10 minutes?
(1) Click “Menu.”
(2) Go through the tuning + or – options to “SNOOZE.” The current setting will be shown (i.e., “SNOOZE 5”)
(3) Select the button. The “5” or other appropriate setting should begin to blink.
(4) To adjust the length of your desired snooze, use the Tuning +/- buttons. 5, 10, 15, and 20 minute options are available.
(5) Press “Select” to confirm your selection, then “Menu” to go back to the previous screen.
How long do the individual wake-up calls play?
60 minutes are played by the radio alarm.
The buzzer begins gently and gets louder with time. If not cancelled, it plays for one minute followed by one minute of silence. This cycle continues for 60 minutes.
What do the two atomic icons that differ mean? An antenna is all one icon has. The antenna’s radiating curves are added in the second. No regular pattern
I believe the antenna is receiving the signal, which makes a difference. The wavy, curving lines are quite touchy, and you have to look at them. You are receiving the signal, as indicated by those lines. If there are no lines, you must keep adjusting it.
An iPhone can it dock?
No dock on this clock, please. You might not be able to dock your phone with any docking station, depending on your situation. I use Otterbox, however I’ve never been able to dock an iPhone or iPod. Having to take the device out every day also reduces the case’s lifespan. A USB port on the clock would be wonderful, but it is also not available. Hope that was useful.
Is it a 12 or 24-hour clock?
It has both 12 and 24 hour clock format. Clicking the Menu button will allow you to make changes. It is thoroughly explained in the operating handbook.
Do you have an alarm clock that, when the alarm is set, displays the alarm time rather than just a sign indicating that the alarm is on?
The alarm time is not displayed when you set the clock radio to show the time. When necessary, you can touch a button to see the alarm time.
Does having LED lights on in a room effect the quality and audibility of the radio reception?
I mostly switched to LED light bulbs in our home, but I haven’t noticed any changes to the reception or sound quality.
What do the two atomic icons that differ mean?
I believe the antenna is receiving the signal, which makes a difference. The wavy, curving lines are quite touchy, and you have to look at them.
You are receiving the signal, according to those lines. If there are no lines, you must keep adjusting it.
What exactly is a time capsule?
I believe they are referring to the second antenna, which is essentially a big ferrite coil and is externally installed (for receiving the atomic clock signal in the LW band).
Fortunately, it is attached to the rear of the device and may be removed and placed elsewhere, usually to enhance the longwave clock data broadcast’s signal quality.
Can you still read the time with a dimmed backlight, or does the time likewise become unreadable with a dimmed backlight?
If you are lying in bed next to it, you can read it. If not, I turned it to bright. A button changes the lighting from bright to dim. The unit’s bottom twist button just changes the brightness. is effective for us.
Does it support an external antenna?
It has an external wire antenna of its own, but there is nowhere to attach another antenna.
Why does the buzzer alarm sound even if the radio alarm is set and the radio alarm is displayed on the display?
The buzzer alert will only sound if there is no radio signal for the chosen radio station if my radio is set to radio alarm.
I set my alarm on my FM radio; is there a way to disable the humane wake feature?
If yes, hit the topmost button on the right side of your face. That will determine when the alarm sounds. By tapping the button, you can change it.
