Features
Space-Conscious Cube Design
distinguishes this versatile
system from ordinary looking clock radios while compact
styling also saves space on nightstand, desk or table
3-D Sound System w/Adjustable Bass
improves sound
dispersion for a more authentic listening experience, and
enhances reproduction of bass tones for a more exciting and
enjoyable listening experience
Gentle Wake and Gentle Sleep
Gentle Wake gradually
increases alarm volume until it reaches the maximum level
you set. Gentle Sleep operates when listening to CD or radio
with Sleep Timer, gradually decreasing volume until it turns off
Auto Dimmer Brightness Control
automatically adjusts itself to
brightness in the room, so the display is easy to read during
the day, and not overpowering at night

shows both the current time and alarm-set time

each different time
Snoozinator™ Extendable Snooze (10 minutes-per-tap, 60
minutes max.)-NAP Timer
gives you the freedom to choose
your personal snooze time instead of having to settle for the
standard time intervals of other alarms; each press of the
Snooze bar adds an additional 10 minutes to your snooze time,
up to a full hour, so with a few quick flicks of your fingertips you
can roll over for more uninterrupted sleep without having to re-
set the alarm

short nap and wake up to radio or buzzer without changing
your alarm settings (you can select your favorite nap time
