These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: -- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. -- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. -- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Extendable snooze -- Snooze time can be extended from 10 up to 60 minutes. If a second alarm sounds during a first (or the snooze function is active), the second alarm takes priority. CLOCK, DST, and TIME ZONE are unavailable while the alarm sounds or when the snooze function is turned on. The alarm function works as usual at the first and last day of daylight saving time (summer time). As a result, if the automatic DST/ summer time adjustment is set and the alarm is set at a time skipped when the daylight saving time begins, the alarm is skipped; if the alarm is set at a time overlapping when daylight saving time ends, the alarm will sound twice. If the same alarm time is set for both ALARM A and B, the ALARM A takes priority. Note on alarm in the event of a power interruption In the event of a power interruption, the alarm functions work until the battery is empty. However, the following functions differ: Nothing will appear on the display. When the alarm sound is set to radio, it will change to buzzer automatically. If the power returns while the alarm sounds, the alarm sounds continuously for about 60 minutes (or until turned off). The alarm buzzes for about one minute, stops temporarily, and will buzz again after about five minutes if neither SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF or RADIO OFF/ALARM RESET are pressed while the alarm is buzzing. If the alarm buzzes and stops (either automatically after 1 minute or by pressing SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF) five times, the alarm is automatically reset in the case of a power interruption. The alarm will buzz for 30 minutes (or until turned off) after power is resumed if the power is resumed within 60 minutes from the alarm time. [. . . ] The display shows the snooze time for about 4 seconds and returns to show the current time. When you press SNOOZE/DATE/SLEEP OFF after the current time appears, the snooze time starts from 10 minutes again.

The alarm time can be set for each program and the alarm sound is selectable from buzzer, radio or melody.
