In my experience, typical bedside alarm clocks (clock radios) are plugged in. If the power is out for the house, no alarm goes off. The SB radio is not really different in that way. However, I've found SB radio to be better than my old clock radio, which would revert to blinking 12:00 AM after power was restored (and the alarm time would revert to 1:00 AM). So then I would manually have to reset the time and the alarm time. Now, if power goes off and then back on in the middle of the night, my PC reboots automatically, squeezebox server starts when my PC boots, and my SB radio then displays the correct time and the alarm fires as previously set. Much better than before. -- eap ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eap's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=32788 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75559 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
