User questions & answers

Question:	Many travel alarms fold into a clamshell to protect the clock face from scratching during travel. Does this clock, folded, cover the LCD display
Answer:	No. You can see in the photo that the stand has an open area in the center. That opening leaves the digital display visible when the stand is in the closed position. The control buttons, however, ARE covered when the stand is flipped over the front. I suppose it could be considered unprotected in the closed position, but it is exactly what I needed for the application that prompted my purchase. It would be easy to slide a piece of thin protective cloth or other material between the stand and the face, if there is a concern about scratches during travel.
Question:	Can you set the time manually i.e. over ride the atomic feature
Answer:	Yes! In the normal mode, press and hold "CLOCK" key for 2 seconds until the time zone flashes. Press "UP" or "DOWN" key to set the desired time zone. Press "CLOCK" key again until the Year digit flashes and repeat the same operation that was used to change the time zone. Continue to press "CLOCK" until the calendar and time areas appear. Use the "UP" and "DOWN" until you reach the desired settings. Press and hold the "CLOCK" key for 2 seconds to save and exit the settings. You have manually set the clock. If you do not want to receive the radio signals that will automatic set the clock, there is a switch in the battery compartment on the right side that should be moved to the off position.
Question:	How long will the battery last with the night light on all night
Answer:	I've had mine for a few months and it's still working like it did on Day 1.
Question:	Is the background color always yellow with black letters or do you have to push backlite button to get this color
Answer:	You must push the backlight button to get the clock to look like like the picture. Normally it is gray background with black numbers.

User questions & answers

Question:	can you plug these clicks in or are they just batterys
Answer:	It is powered by 3 AAA 1.5V batteries only.
Question:	How do you get the clock to show standard time, not military time
Answer:	Hello,Thanks for your inquiry. I'm happy to serve you. Firstly please toggle the switch to "LOCK" position, then repeatedly press button of "YEAR 12/24" to change time format. Hope it helps.Best regards!Candy
Question:	How well does it keep time - does it remain at right time well
Answer:	Remains at time, but is only army time. Also, it is hard to see in the daylight because it has a light sensor to determine the output of light. I found I could only see it at night with the lights dim. It also is a battery eater. It doesn't plug in.
Question:	Is the color a blue or mint green
Answer:	I would have called it a mint green, but I held it next to something that is light green, and the clock is definitely blue. A light blue.
