Thank y'all for all the answers! Another question: Can the wakeup alarm/music be set to always turn off after a certain period of time? Thanks!

As far as I can tell, each alarm can be only one hour long or until acknowledged for that occurrence. Alarms can be set to occur daily or weekdays only. They can be set to be on, off, or skip once. I did not see any option for length of alarm (1/2 hour, 2 hours, etc.). If alarms overlap, the new alarm becomes active, in the sense that the new music setting takes effect. Even if the alarm's internet station is the same, the connection is reset, which is annoying when you are listening to an NPR story and you miss 15 seconds while the radio resets the internet link. Yes, it takes that long to turn on the radio. As far as I can tell, each alarm can be only one hour long or until acknowledged for that occurrence. Alarms can be set to occur daily or weekdays only.

It will automatically turn off after 1 hour. AFAIK you can't change this behavior but you can extend it to two hours if you set 2 alarms, one hour apart from each other.

Hi Dr. Richey, My particular unit is connected to my iPhone 6 and has an alarm on/off setting. But I have not turned it on during use yet.

The sleep/wake works for me all the time. You hear a "click" sound when you close the case, provided you have the keyboard turned on (I turn the keyboard off after closing the case sometimes to conserve the charge, but it goes a very long time before needing a charge so most times I just leave it on).

There are FM radio and 2 wake up sounds. According to the Philips site: "The selected sound gradually increases in volume to your selected level." This would imply that the wake up sound is indeed selectable.

There is a button on the unit to silence the alarm but it only works if the alarm is going off. There is no setting or button to disable the alarm if that is what you were asking.

You have to actually set it at the time that you want it to wake up. It tells you that in the instructions.

The button at the top between the volume buttons will turn off the music/noise. The light will stay on unless you push the light button too. Dont use the alarm 1/alarm 2 buttons on the sides.

Yes. You can set it for when you wake. It turns itself off after 2 hours as well.

This clock radio does not have a separate "sleep" volume and a separate "wake" or alarm volume, and I haven't seen any clock radios that have that feature It's a great idea. This one does, however, have an increasing alarm volume which, on mine anyway, gets quite loud if I don't turn it off right away. Hope this helps.

As far as I know, you would need to set the alarm to Bluetooth, get the song lined up that you want to wake up to, then push pause on the phone. When the alarm goes off it will play that song. However I would make sure it's not on random as that may change things. No other way that I could think of. Good luck.

I do not know of any way to disable that. It doesn't usually bother me. I have heard it, but normally sleep right thru it. You might ask the company if they have any remedies. Maybe there is a volume control or something they could help with. Sorry I am not any help. I love my machine.

I can see your point about turning it off. I have a cheaper unit that I keep in my shop. Thinking about upgrading. I just turn the sensor toward the wall when I'm working out there so the alarm will not be sounding constantly all day when I'm out cleaning or working. Kind of like telling the guard "don't shoot! It's me! Just take the afternoon off"! I just have to turn it back around when I lock up. Form a habit like pulling your keys out of the door after you lock the lock. It's just habit.

Yes . You have to turn the alarm off or it resets after 2 hrs of it being triggered.

Sorry after exploring for a count down timer ie sleep function on this radio. I could only find an alarm you can wake upto.

Forgot - you turn the alarms on or off by pressing the "F" buttons with a momentary press while the radio is OFF. I think I covered it. I hope.

You can't. I was not happy to find that out. I am not happy with that non-option. The 3 sounds they do provide are not what I would typically use to try to wake. The charge port also broke on mine within days of buying it. I want to return it.

If (and that's a big IF) you can manage to get it turned on and close the door without setting it off, the only way to turn it off is to open the door and turn it off. The alarm WILL go off.
