There are selections that pop up on the screen that aren't mentioned in the user manual. Instructions are manageable but not worth going through that many steps to realize you can't change the a. The time is hard to read.

It's really bright, but has a dimming button if needed. I just wish it had a built in stand and dimmer dial like the blue one does.

The radio is great and alarms are nice and loud with prompt timing to turn on.
