Radio-Controlled Travel Alarm Clock
Your RadioShack Radio-Controlled Travel Alarm Clock combines a
simple design with advanced technology. The clock automatically
updates the time setting when its built-in antenna receives the
60 kHz longwave radio signal from station WWVB which broadcasts
the time according to the U.S. government's atomic clock in Boulder,
Colorado. The clock checks this continuous signal several times
each day, giving you the most accurate time possible. The clock
comes with a carrying case, which makes it perfect for travel.
The clock's other features include:
Four Time Zones — let you see the time for Pacific, Mountain, Cen-
tral, or Eastern time zones.
Five Languages — let you view the day of the week in English,
French, German, Italian or Spanish.
Backlight — lets you light the display for about 8 seconds so you
can see the time in the dark.
Dual Display — displays the current time and date or the current
time and alarm time.
Low Battery Indicator — appears when the battery is weak.
Snooze Control — temporarily silences the alarm for about 8
minutes.
Built-In Antenna — receives periodic time updates from WWVB.
Built-In Stand — lets you place the clock on a flat surface for easy
viewing.
Crescendo Alarm — gradually increases in volume to gently
awaken you.
Easy-to-Use Controls — let you manually set the clock and the
alarm time if you are in an area that prevents good reception of
WWVB.
