Manufacturer:Sony Label:Sony EAN:0027242705388 Model:ICFC318BLACK | For the entire 30 years my husband and I have been married, I have gotten up at least one hour before he does, then re-set the alarm clock to get him up on time to go to work One of life's little luxuries for under $20 Why it never dawned on me to purchase a two-setting alarm clock is beyond me, but now that I have one, I'll never do without! What a luxury! Each alarm is set separately and can be easily adjusted for weekends, days off, etcNo Power, No Problem Alarm System The alarm sound is a pulsing alarm, which most definitely gets you up and outRating 5 The clock is small in size and fits on the night stand nicely2009-03-21 This clock is probably one of the Top 10 best ways I've spent $20!What is the one thing that a clock should do before anything else? (sorry but sony doesn't seem to know Great but not really automatic and doesn't keep accurate time ) Thats right! Keep the correct time!The name of this alarm clock is deceptive in that it leads you to believe that the clock would automatically set itself to the correct time No Power, No Problem Alarm System In reality, it is set at the factory and you must enter the date and your time-zoneRating 2 After about 6 months of owning the ICF-C318, the battery indicator light has gone on 2009-03-10 Now, if my power goes out or I ever unplug the thing to move it, I will have to manually set the clockI purchased two of these clock radios for my newly remodeled master bedroom (to replace two completely different '80s looking clocks) Very Well Designed Clock Radio They're well designed and I especially like the automatic time set - very handy when the power failsNo Power, No Problem Alarm System I am rating this product as a five star recommendation for ease of use, overall design and pricingRating 5 2009-03-06 We replaced our old Sony Dream Machine with this one excellent alarm clock radio! My how vast the changes can be in 15 yearsNo Power, No Problem Alarm System The set-up is idiot proofRating 5 2009-02-28 I bought this to replace a "well loved" Timex indigo dual alarm clock Works completely as described This one has a smaller footprintNo Power, No Problem Alarm System The only thing that made me deduct one star is that this has the atomic clock time Rating 4 I have this on a Oregon Scientific weather station that I have verified with time2009-02-21 gov, so I know it is accurateThe correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary No Power, No Problem Alarm System In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so you don't have to re-set the clock. When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments |
