User questions & answers

Question:	Is there a radio display when you're tuning? How do you tell what station you're on
Answer:	It is bright but I just turn it away from my face at night. I'm also sensitive to bright light.
Question:	How much space does this clock actually take up? it says 14" x 11...thats quite a clock compared to the pic
Answer:	Two separate alarms can be set on this clock, once the alarm time is set either alarm can be turned on or off independently with a single button push. So you can turn off whichever one you don't need - there is no specific day set but it's easy enough to turn one or the other off.
Question:	I'm seeing times zones 1-5. What is what
Answer:	My ICFC1 has 2 alarms, not one. You can also see that it has an A and B alarm in the product picture here on Amazon.I was hoping Sony upgraded the clock software. I cannot change the display brightness after I hit the snooze alarm until I reset the alarm. This is very inconvenient. Does the ICFT work this way?
Question:	Can I run this on batteries alone? Dthe power cord
Answer:	It is a cube, so each face is a square of the same dimensions.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the led display bright in your eyes. I'm looking for one that won't bother me at night I'm very sensitive to light
Answer:	The magnet might be a problem maneuvering in a tight magnetic area requiring precise navigation. However it hasn't presented any problems for me yet. First off, the magnet isn't so strong that it's been a factor and secondly, with the jaws extended or partially extended, the magnet is behind them so that might help in positioning it. Sorry I can't give you a more definitive answer but I don't know your situation. I guess if it's a complete failure you could return it, but so far it's accomplished what I needed it to do. Hope this helps.
Question:	Can I set two alarms on on this clock? I need one for every day and one just for weekdays. Thanks
Answer:	as I said I do not think it is waterproof , try putting it in a clear plastic bag and reaching in
Question:	What's the main difference between this one and ICFC
Answer:	Most definitely. Also if the earring is ferrous the magnet is strong enough to snag it without using the claw.
Question:	Is the clock square
Answer:	Hi. You can change the battery on the top of the red handle. Unscrew it then you can change batteries. :)

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this product made in Japan
Answer:	There is no radio display, there is a manual setting dial and you have to listen to understand which station it is.
Question:	This clock will charge an iPhone thru the USB port. Can u also play music on the iPhone thru the clock speakers when plugged into USB port
Answer:	The clock radio is almost a perfect cube, nominally 4 inches in all three dimensions. Actually it's about 1/16 inch shy of 4 in height and width. This accounts for the facts that the tuning wheel and band switch project slightly out of the right side, and the snooze bar and other switches extend slightly above the top. There are also very tiny feet. There are tiny buttons on the back which conceivably could increase the depth beyond four inches. All of this is really nit-picking. 4 x 4 x 4 is the realistic answer.
Question:	If you are listening to nature sounds all night can the alarm be set to buzzer or does it have to be set to nature sounds as well
Answer:	Hi David, the reason may be because the time zone is not set. Here are the values of each:0 - Newfound land Standard Time1 - Atlantic Standard Time2(default) - Eastern Standard Time3 - Central Standard Time4 - Mountain Standard Time5 - Pacific Standard Time6 - Alaska Standard Time7 - Hawaii Standard TimeTo change the time zone, just press the TIME ZONE button repeatedly.Regards,Ella
Question:	The info from Sony states that this clock is a 12 hr format. Someone stated this clock can be put into 24 hr mode, which information is correct
Answer:	Hi! This Sony FM/AM Clock Radio do run only on AC power. The internal battery is built for backup power source to keep the clock operating during a power interruption. It cannot run on this battery alone. Hope this helps. Ely

Programmable sleep timer Fall asleep to the radio using the programmable sleep timer. Snooze button For those mornings when you just can’t seem to wake up there’s a snooze button to let you catch a little extra shuteye. The sound turns off, but will automatically come on again after about 10 minutes. Battery backup An optional backup battery keeps the clock working, even during a power outage.

Question:	what is the new substitude of that
Answer:	I am not seeing an exact replacement. The closest I can find is Sony Model ICFC1T which also has dual alarms and battery backup. It is the cube shaped one.
