Alarm clock problems: How can I quickly display the current time for a short period of time?

Sounds like the radio has a problem. If the station you have set for alarm isn't accessible, the backup alarm 'chime' should have sounded. The fact that the clock is slow also makes me believe the radio is defective. Your question regarding having the time display quickly is a good one - I don't believe you can. It's another little annoyance in the UI that should be fixed.

There are black switches for every 15 minute increment. Just push down to turn off. Twist the dial to display current time.

Roland is wrong, I just got mine and used it, it time stamps date and TIME. It is an option you can turn on or off. Really handy!!

Nope, you just need to hold down the "clock" button for a few seconds. Hope that helps

Yes. I had the same question. I went to http://www.brookstone.com/store/product.asp?pid=450585 (click on the "Manuals and Brochures" tab and reviewed the following item: " 41. CLOCK/ : From Off position, sets time. From CD, MP3 or radio mode, allows you to view the time. " (This sounds like what I am looking for - a better sounding "shelf audio unit" with visible clock feature.)

it's got an alarm clock function, but i haven't used it. You can find the manual online at the grace digital website.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do that the way other alarms do. I press the alarm button to turn it off, then just turn it right back on again. And that resets it for the next day. And then I can not turn it on for the weekend. Maybe in a fancier version there is more programming capability?

The keypad has a timer but not a clock, therefor currently it is not possible. In the next few days we expect to offer an additional item that will allow the function you are looking for

Ah, I just did that for my dad's unit yesterday due to daylight saving time change.On the back of the unit, press 'Mode' (farest right) button once, then keep pressing 'Hour' (farest left) button to change the hour until the time showing is what you want. If you need to change the minute, go through the same routine except the minute button,which is the middle one of the 3 buttons on the back of the unit.Good luck!

Confirmed, hold alarm reset and snooze bar down together for a couple of seconds. Clock will "beep" and confirm mode switch.

There are four potential alarm times. Off is an option. Sadly, the clock I received would only provide access to one of these alarms, the other three would go off at the default time, and I couldn't turn them off. I returned the defective clock.

My previous answer was inadequate. You cannot use the clock for three different time zones. The second screen has just clock (military time), a count up mode clock and a count up mode clock in 1/100 seconds.

Hold the clock button down and use the preset buttons to set the time. Turn the key and make sure the radio isn't trying to play music. Where it just shows the clock. Hard to explain over text

Look on the rear of the clock. There are 5 buttons; L-R MODE, LIGHT, SET & UP & DN ARROWS. Press MODE until the alarm time appears in the window. Press SET and set your wake-up time. When finished setting the Wake-up time and with the MODE still in SET, press the UP arrow until there are three vertical dots between the hour and minutes numbers. If you want to disable the alarm, press the DN arrow until only two dots are visible. I hope this helps.

MCR-B142 Yamaha does show time only when it's turned on.You can also set the alarm. The radio has a wonderful sound.

To change time, hold down the clock button on the left side of the unit until the time flashes. Then enter all "0's" to clear the tiem - mine didn;t cooperate when I used the "clear" function - and enter the correct time. Press the "clock" button, but don't hold it, once you have the time set. My clock loses time now, so don't rely on it to stay accurate over the life of the unit. Check OXO's web site for a manual or email them to send you one. They have been very responsive in the past. Have a great day!
