A wake-up call for heavy sleepers, with both beeping and flashing-light alarm, and lighted dial. Dial light is activated by either by sound or shaking the clock. Large EZ-read edge-to-edge dial with simple automatic push button sets time. EZ-set alarm wheel and top alarm-set indicator make it foolproof. Ascending alarm starts out softly and gets progressively louder and rings steady until shut off. Shake the clock to activate the 5-minute snooze function or push the back button. Black molded case with edge to edge protective lens for clear viewing. Silent (no ticking) quartz movement.
