It begins when adjusting. The Quick Start Guide is really badly short and the front surface of the device very sensitive to touch, since flash rapidly setting up that you did not want to select.
Almost everything you will forward a on the display, except for the display brightness (four stages), clock setting and ringtone (2 plus radio), who rear switch.
Ringtone 1 is birdsong, ringtone preset 2 different birdsong with cuckoo, radio stations such as via display.
The alarm time is one front on the display. For Weckszeitplanung is important to know that the time set for the ring tone, not for the beginning of the twilight phase becomes stronger light,
the corresponding fix starts 30 minutes earlier. Also it is on the display, the luminous intensity of the "sunlight" a, 10 levels are available.
The radio reception is good at high-power transmitter and outdoor wall nearby. For raising it is sufficient as a full radio replacement it is not likely.
The ring tones are pleasant, more choices for a change, however, would wish for some.
Annoying the lack of back-up battery is on the settings, 2-3 seconds without electricity are yet risen by capacitors, but then are gone all settings.
A clock would not have hurt.
Why do I have the Wake-up Light still like to buy is that to me is the Lichtweckfunktion by far the most important.
It is to be much more pleasant woken gently by light than by an audible beep lobe.
On top of that I am very sensitive to light and has been always awakened by the lights. Radio and tones I need so only as a safety function.
Conclusion. For me personally, as a pure Lichtwecker a real Bereichrung to 4 stars.
The functions in addition, not particularly convincingly implemented, so that the sum of 3 stars tilts Philips.
