The Radio with battery pack will use the batteries to keep the clock going. It will remember the alarm times and it will sound an alarm when needed. This might be either the self-chosen station, stream, or in case of failing network/internet: the fallback alarm. Even if it is switched off, it will switch itself on and sound the alarm if one is set. Remember: This requires the battery pack to be installed. I use the Radio now for several months on a daily base (with battery pack), and every morning it wakes me up without any problem. The only problems I encountered so far was that it produces the fallback alarm while there is valid internet connection, and the streams are working. It only happened to do that with the 2nd alarm time set. I had another problem with stuck keys in the 7.5.0 beta branch, but the name already says it: beta... Nevertheless, even with the 2 problems I encountered: it always woke me up at the right time, without failing to do so once !!!
