Wake Up Even In A Power Outage With The Sony ICF-C318 Clock Radio with Dual Alarm

By Carla Nelson


If you're in need of a clock radio that's practical and rather cheap, you might want to have a look at Sony ICF-C318 Clock Radio. It features two separate alarms and for easy reading, the display is more than big enough. You'll be able to awaken to the sound of the buzzer or the radio. The 0.9" green LED screen of the ICF-C318, may be seen with virtually no trouble from across the room. It's going to take up almost no space beside your bed, and it has a number of features, including dual alarms, built-in calendar, in addition to a full power menu back up.

In comparison to previous models, this clock radio comes with four new buttons and controls and snazzy new feature. It now has a three-level brightness button so you can set the light on the display so that it wouldn't be so bright. Furthermore, you will find a two-level buzzer volume switch, a second alarm time setting control, and an extra alarm mode rotary switch. A great feature of the clock radio is the "No Power-No Problem" feature. If the electricity goes out in the house, the alarm would still go off during its set time.

The brightness control option is an excellent enhancement from the older model since the display is quite bright with the lights off. With three lighting settings, it ought to have a broader appeal. The dimmest options should make viewing the time relatively easy without keeping you awake. Unfortunately, even in the loudest setting, the buzzer is not very loud at all. If you'd like to make sure that you wake up, you must use the radio alarm. Unlike the earlier models, the alarm will still go on even if the power is turned off.

If you set the radio alarm but the electricity goes out, the buzzer is going to go off in its place. So no matter what, you'll be covered and will be able to wake up on time. One problem that reviewers have brought up is the sound quality of the radio is a little lacking. Although the sound is quite clear through the speakers, it is not high fidelity. The time appears to be maintained properly, which tends to be more important than the quality of the radio sound. A Li wafer battery is utilized to maintain the clock's time.

The Sony ICF-C318 Clock Radio with Dual Alarm is less than $20, so it's not a high-priced alarm clock and radio combination. For what it is, a lot of buyers have given it very high ratings. Unless you are looking for a better radio, this product might be what you need.
