From The Manufacturer

Sangean has established a reputation for manufacturing the highest quality standards and performance radios for 40 years. The latest RCR-5 AM/FM clock radio is as attractive as it is unique. It offers features and performance generally found in the most expensive clock radios, all in a small, affordable package. The RCR-5 is a small-size radio with a big sound and excellent AM/FM reception. Sangean’s digital tuner technology reduces drift on AM stations and is able to lock in weak FM stations, giving you the maximum station choice for your area, no matter where you are. The RCR-5 is a very well designed clock radio with great sound for music and talk radio. The RCR-5 has 10 presets for all your favorite stations, and has an easy-to-read adjustable backlit LCD display. The display is of a soft, warm color, most conducive to a good sleeping environment—it’s easy to read but won’t keep you awake with glare when sitting on your bedside table. The RCR-5 features dual alarm timers for both ‘waking up to radio’ and/or ‘waking up to the HWS buzzer’ (Humane Wake Up System) at different times for weekdays, weekends, daily, or just once. The Humane Wake System wakes you by gradually increasing the volume of the alarm to a comfortable level, so you don’t get startled awake by a loud alarm. The RCR-5 has Sleep, Nap, and Snooze timers to let you get the perfect amount of rest.
