The correct EST (Eastern Standard Time) has been preset at the factory, so just plug the clock in and adjust the time zone as necessary. In the case of a power interruption, the built-in Lithium battery maintains the correct time so you don't have to re-set the clock. When Daylight Savings Time changes take place in the spring and fall each year, there is no need to adjust the clock because the built-in calendar recognizes the dates and automatically makes the proper time adjustments. Dual Alarms with Alarm Indicator permits two separate wake-up times with individual wake-up settings and confirms that the alarm has been activated to turn on at the pre-set time. Choose your own snooze time instead of being held captive by the short time intervals of other snooze times. Each press of the snooze button adds an additional 10 minutes to your total snooze time for up to a full hour of uninterrupted sleep.

Does the job well:
Got this as a gift from my wife, like the compact design and the ability to increase the time for the snooze alarm. The buzzer could be a little louder, but otherwise it's great, very reliable.
Brightness control works great:
Just got mine. I'd been worried about the brightness control (whether the low setting would be dim enough) based on some other reviews I'd read, but in fact it's perfect.
Good product and I love the dimmer.:
When I can't fall asleep at night the numbers on most digital clock radios seem like car headlights. I have been looking for a clock with a good dimmer. On it's lowest setting the numbers on this clock are dim indeed. On the higher settings the numbers are just fine during the day. The clock is also small, light and gets decent radio reception.

After much research, this one certainly works for us. I like that the controllers for setting each alarm are on either side of the clock; makes it easy to set in the dark, if one should go to bed after the other. The dim setting on the light is still a bit bright for us, but really is quite low. The beeping is not too loud, which we like, and is at a tone... more info
