About this product
This alarm clock keeps you on time without any manual fiddling about, thanks to radio-controlled time that updates automatically. The digital screen shows the time, date and temperature all at once, so you've got everything you need at a glance. There's a backlight for checking the time in the dark, and a snooze function for when you need those extra few minutes. It's compact at 7.7cm wide, which makes it ideal for bedside tables without hogging space.
The radio-controlled feature means it sets itself and adjusts for daylight saving time, so you never need to fiddle with the clock. The night light makes it easy to read in low light without disturbing anyone. It runs on 2 AAA batteries (not included), which keeps things simple without trailing cables. The white finish fits in with most bedroom setups, and it comes with a two-year manufacturer's guarantee for peace of mind.

Customers Say
Compact, easy-to-use radio-controlled alarm clock with clear display, temperature, date, and snooze. Some find the alarm quiet or buttons tricky; backlight requires button press and auto time setting can delay.

Love that it receives radio signals so the clock is 100% accurate in the UK - I believe even at low battery. Simple and does what it says on the tin.

I like it very much

Compact
Bought for my daughter for going to school. Love the way it is operated by battery, hence no other wires cluttering up her bedside cabinet. It is compact and has a good LED brightness to the screen so that you can see all the features clearly. The alarm isn’t very loud, but it has woken her up at the correct time each morning so far.

Hello Summy,
The supplier has advised the following for the Precision Radio Controlled LCD Alarm Clock.
It does not have an on/off switch.
To reserve battery power, we suggest removing the batteries, and once reinstalled, the clock will automatically power on and search for the radio-controlled signal.
Thanks for using Q&A
As per previous response, no there is no way of setting time zone on this model, so really it is best suited to keeping it in the UK.
Bear in mind you can not disable the automatic resync of time wirelessly, which occurs every night. Therefore every morning the clock will have re-set to GMT BST , wherever you are in the world.
This is something you cannot stop, unless your bedroom is in a basement or you build a Faraday cage for the alarm clock out of tinfoil.
Hello Sophie,
No, the Precision Radio Controlled Digital Alarm Clock - White will not change timezones automatically, but you can change the time manually.
Thanks for using Q&A
It is literally the worse alarm clock to set up! It is near on impossible to set the time deposits following the instructions let alone trying to set an alarm! Rubbish
Hello there,
Yes, for this Precision Radio Controlled Digital Alarm Clock - White is easy to set up. Once the alarm has been set, it will automatically repeat every day unless it is manually turned off.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello there,
Yes, this Precision Radio Controlled Digital Alarm Clock - White works fully without any wires or plugging in.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Hello Sandra,
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for the Precision Radio Controlled LCD Alarm Clock: ''The backlight is activated manually, not automatically when the alarm sounds.''
Thank you for using Q and A.
Hello Kren,
Precision Radio Controlled Digital Alarm Clock - White
The alarm beep starts quietly and grows louder over 2 minutes. It cannot be altered.
Thanks for using Q&A
I dont understand the first reply.
The question was Can you see the time at night without pressing a button?
The answer is no, if you press the top button the blue back light illuminates for a few seconds to read the time.
If it was on all the time the batteries would not last long and I like a dark bedroom.
Hello there,
Precision Radio Controlled LCD Alarm Clock.
I can advise that the light does not stay on all night so that display can be seen in the dark.
Thanks for using Q&A
Not recommended for taking abroad.
The clock doesnt have a feature to change timezone - it is fixed to UK GMT or BST.
You cant change the time manually to circumvent this because the clock automatically syncs every night using RF to UK time regardless of where you are in the world, and this is a feature which cannot be disabled.
So the clock will be wrong every morning and your alarm will go off at weird times.
Hello Moly. The Precision Radio Controlled Digital Alarm Clock will depend on receipt of transmitter abroad and will need to be adjusted to time zone differences. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Q and A.
Hey KT,
I can advise that this alarm clock is not permanently backlit, you will need to press a button.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Radio Controlled does not mean its a radio to listen to, the clock time is corrected via a radio signal.
Its a pity the Argos staff do not understand that.
Hi Nan.
Precision Radio Controlled Digital Alarm Clock - White:
From the information available, the alarms are all tone based.
Thank you for using Q&A.
