How to Set the Alarm on Atomic Clocks


An atomic alarm clock sets the time of day automatically, but it cannot set an alarm automatically. Fortunately, setting the alarm on an atomic clock is quite easily accomplished. Your atomic clock will most likely features two separate alarms, both of which can be set to it's own time. You can awake to a buzzer sound or a radio station.


  1. Hold the “mode” button down
    for at least two seconds. The alarm 1 time will begin flashing on
    the display. This is how you set the first alarm on your atomic alarm clock.

  2. Use the “forward” and “back”
    buttons to scroll the time that you want your alarm wake you up at.
    Hold the buttons down, as this will make you scroll through the
    times faster. Press the “mode” button once the correct time (the
    alarm time) is displayed.

  3. Use the “forward” and “back”
    buttons to choose the buzzer or the radio station. The buzzer or
    radio station will go off/play at the specified time. Press the
    “mode” button to set the mode.

  4. Repeat both step two and three,
    which will set the second alarm if you desire.

  5. Slide the “alarm 1” or “alarm
    2” button on the clock, which activates that alarm. The button
    will be on top of the clock or the side of the clock.

  6. Slide the “alarm 1” or “alarm
    2” button into the downward position to deactivate the alarm after
    it has gone off. You can press the “snooze” button to the alarm
    for ten minutes. The alarm will go off after ten more minutes.
