Up System. It has been designed and engineered to provide you with many years
of reliable operation with a minimum of care. Listen to your favorite AM/FM radio

settings in case of a power failure, but it will also wake you up even if the power is
'off' at the selected alarm time, as long as the back up battery has sufficient power .
