If it is set to the last radio station played, when the alarm sounds, it will simply turn on the radio to the last radio station played.

To do this, press and hold either the [seek-backward] or the [seek-forward] buttons until you notice the frequencies display on screen start to change. After the tuner stops on the first available station, you can repeat the process until you reach your desired station.

4. You can perform a manual search to find your desired radio station. To do this, simply repeatedly press (do not hold) either the [manual-tune-backward] or the [manual-tune-forward] buttons to search up or down the frequency range until you reach the desired frequency/radio station.

5.1 Using The Radio Station Preset Memory

The Alarm Clock Radio has a 20 station memory for the FM and AM tuners. You can save your favourite stations into the alarm's memory so you can quickly tune to these stations. These pre-sets can be overwritten at any time.

1. Tune the radio to your desired station. (Refer to “turning the radio on/off and selecting the band” section).
2. Press and hold the M button until 'p01' begins to flash on screen.
3. Press either the [select-preset-backward] or the [select-preset-forward] buttons to select the preset you would like to save this to (from 1 – 20). Once you have reached your desired preset, press the M button once to save.
4. You can overwrite any preset at any time by following the previous procedure and ensuring you select the correct preset to overwrite with a new station.
5. If you would like to switch to one of your saved radio stations, simply press the M button until ‘p01' is displayed (assuming that you are listening to the station saved in the first preset). Press either the [select-preset-backward] or the [select-preset-forward] buttons to move up or down your preset list. The saved stations will automatically play as soon as they are selected. After a few seconds, the alarm clock radio will display the time on screen once again.

5.2 Using The Sleep Function

1. When listening to the radio, press and hold the SNOOZE/SLEEP button until '120' is displayed on screen.
2. '120' represents the number of minutes you would like the radio to continue playing before it turns itself off. To adjust the length of time, press the snooze button repeatedly until you reach the desired minute setting.
3. The time will appear on the display a few seconds after you have reached your desired setting. The sleep LED indicator on the left side of the screen will illuminate and the clock's radio will automatically turn off according to your selected time.
4. To cancel, press and hold the SNOOZE/SLEEP button until you reach the minute select screen which will show your preselected minutes. Press the SNOOZE/SLEEP button again, repeatedly, until the time is displayed on screen. The SLEEP time will be cancelled and the SLEEP LED indicator will no longer be illuminated.
