Operating the Dual Alarm System

This clock radio features a dual alarm system, with two alarms that can be operated independently. The alarms can be set to wake two people at different times, or to have a main alarm and a backup. One alarm features your choice of radio stations as an alarm wake sound, while the second features a nature sound or buzzer as an alarm wake sound. You can set the radio alarm, the nature sound/buzzer alarm, or both alarms.
