This is the most popular alarm clock in our range. It can alert you by it's amplified alarm, the flashing light and the vibrating pad that you pop under your pillow.

You can connect the clock to the telephone so that it vibrates to alert you to the phone ringing. You can alter the alarm's tone and volume to suit your hearing loss.

It has the largest display of all our clocks - the red numbers are 50mm high so you won't need to squint to read the time, even when you're bleary eyed in the morning.

The instructions are user-friendly, and the time and alarm are not difficult to set. It has a 12-hour clock, so take care to set it for AM rather than PM (assuming you're planning on waking in the morning rather than the evening).

The snooze button gives you another nine minutes of sleep. You don’t need a battery, but you can install one as back-up in case you have a power cut in the night.
