This alarm features a soft-touch silicone case and a large digital display which lights up at the touch of a button. It's just as easily viewed at night thanks to Smartlite® technology. The bright backlight illuminates the display as the room gets darker and turns it off again during the daytime to prolong battery life. It also includes a handy snooze feature and crescendo alarm, which gently increases in volume, helping you wake up naturally without a sudden jolt in the morning.
