Unfortunately, the alarm beeps every keystroke! To adjust the alarm time, you first need to press MODE three times, only two short then long. If you do it wrong, you end up in adjustment mode for the time. Then adjusted via three buttons the alarm time. During this process every few seconds the backlight goes out, so that they always have to re-switch in between. The alarm can be easily switched off in the morning with one keystroke. The snooze function can not be disabled in advance. To disable it in the morning after you press the snooze button, you must additionally press the alarm button. The alarm has a slightly hoarse sound, a slightly agitated rhythm and is moderately loud, without crescendo. The time is easy to read during the day, at night also, but only when the alarm at eye level or is lower. The display is illuminated perfectly. As for the value, the alarm leaves an average impression. In my search for a radio alarm clock I've tested 21 radio alarm clock.
