I read a review that you have to preset your alarm for the next morning every night with this clock. True or false?

Both. You do need to set the alarm, but it does default to the time you had scheduled the night before. So it takes about three pushes to achieve.
1196034
Yes, you have to set it each night for the next morning. You don't have to go through changing the time, it will automatically come up but you have to hit the button a few times to set it.
1196035
False. You do not need to reset the alarm, but you do have to turn the alarm on every night.

If you turn the alarm off by pressing the light on/off button and sound on/off button, or by letting it turn itself off after 75 minutes, then the alarm will still be on and set to the same time as the day before.

I have had similar issues. My alarm has went off at incorrect times and twice now the alarm did not go off at all. I have since switched to a radio station for the alarm instead of my iTunes. I have not had a problem since.

This alarm will NOT alert you that it has been set off... it's only $16... it's just an alarm. If you want something that will alert you in any way, it's going to cost quite a bit more money I'd imagine.

They repeat daily on schedule - I found out after I bought it, that you could setup multiple alarms for different uses ( I assume different meds on the same day, for example) I never read the manual, but I'd bet it is pretty sophisticated. I'm still using mine after a long while, I'm forgetful, and if I don't push a button and take a pill it will remind me with a later alarm like there is a snooze feature or something - I may have inadvertently set this, so reading the manual is better - I'm a typical man - no cartoons, and I avoid reading manuals! HA!

Yep. I use that feature every night. Once you set the sleep timer though, don't touch other buttons. If you set it and then mess with volume or whatever, the alarm might go off because the other buttons seem to change the sleep timer over to an alarm instead. Just hit play and then press the alarm button twice and it will be a 30 min sleep timer. Not truly sure if it's random but it does play different songs every night. It just might be in order, not random.

No you set the alarm to go off each day at the time you want. Very easy to do

Yes, you first select and set the time to wake and the alarm will be approximate to the time selected based on your lightest sleep. Like today I had the alarm set for 6:15am and it woke me up at 6:10am. Woke up refreshed

Yes. I have mine set with two alarms. The first one I set the sound level to level 1. What that means is as the light and sound gradually turn on, there is no sound until the very end. Then it is on at level one. Then the second one I set louder, because by then the light usually already wakes me up, so the sound lulls me out of bed if I haven't gotten up already.

No. You have to turn the alarm off then turn it back on again after the time has past.
1453537
Yes. This has happened twice now. At first I assumed that I set the time wrong however, the alarm was going off at a different time.
754765
Yes it does. It will remember the last settings you set up. If you want the alarms to work, you just have to enable them each time.

I have never experienced this situation. However, the instructions say that the alarm should be reset due to an abnormal or operation or previous alarm.

No, I'm afraid it doesn't do that. I've just called my wife and she said the alarm goes off for some time - she said 2 or 3 minutes but I think she exaggerated a bit - and then once the alarm stops the timer starts counting the time elapsed.

It can be set for 1-4 alarms. . I set it at 6 am for my alarm. and it has a reminder until you get up and shut it off ....

When I use the alarm, I adjust the volume using the radio before bed. Otherwise, it will auto set. I hope that helps.

Yes once you follow the easy instructions and set the time then the time clock changes on its own. I think it even adjusted to day light savings time because I am the only one with the key and I never sprung it forward. I havent even changed the ribbon yet. So, it has been a great buy for my company. Fyi I have about 65 construction guys clicking in/out everyday so it is durable too.

It does. The clock is set every time you plug in your phone to charge, so the time is always accurate. I have been awaken in the middle of the night many times by my 3 yr old daughter setting the alarm without us knowing it.
