The Homtime C1 Pro features a large, easy-to-read LCD display with adjustable brightness.

The alarm features a gentle wake-up sound that starts softly and gradually increases in volume. You can adjust the maximum alarm volume by pressing and rotating the large button while the alarm is sounding.

3. Bluetooth Speaker Function

The C1 Pro can function as a Bluetooth speaker. Enable Bluetooth on your mobile device and search for "C1pro" in the list of available devices. Select "C1pro" to pair. Once connected, you can play audio from your device through the alarm clock's speaker.

The alarm clock is equipped with two USB charging ports on the front, providing a total current output of 5V-3A. These ports feature over-current, over-voltage, and short-circuit protection. You can charge two USB-powered devices simultaneously, such as smartphones, tablets, or other gadgets.
