## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is it possible to use the back light separately from the alarm? only i've tried to set both separately & by the looks of it it can't be done.**
A: Sadly you can only have the back light on when the alarm is set.  I normally set the alarm for about 3pm, this enables me to have the back light on, but not be disturbed by the alarm.  I then switch off the back light/alarm when I get up.

**Q: Is the time format 12 or 24 hour?**
A: It can be set to either,12 or 24 hour, according to preference via a slide switch on one side.  I recommend this clock, which I use as my normal alarm, which wakes be up even though I am a deep sleeper, and is compact enough, for Holidays.

**Q: is the time visible at night when you wake up without touching it**
A: No, there is a light button/snooze function for viewing at night. I have not used it for about a year now as the stand broke off the bottom very quickly. It is very flimsy and I would not buy another one on that basis. It also requires 3 AAA batteries to run it, which I think is excessive. Hope that helps.

**Q: I like sleeping in the pitch black but need the alarm switched on. Is there an option to switch the back light off but keep the alarm on?**
A: Yes. There is a switch on the back that allows flash light, night light or light off. We are very pleased with this clock and would recommend it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This CLOCK IS MINT!
*by M***S on 14 April 2012*

I do a lot of research before I buy anything, too much in fact ha ha.I've just got back off Holiday with this clock, it is superb.It has hard plastic cover to protect it in your suitcase while travelling.Really small & light.Night light is great, that is so annoying when not got a bedside clock on holiday, to constantly press your phone light to see the time when u should be kipping.You can see the clock time so easy in the night with a quick glance.The light don't eat the batteries, 2 weeks later I'm trialing mine & batteries still going strong with night light on.It has a really bright flash light on which u have to press to keep on, & I used this brilliantly when I had to alter the air con in the night as missus moaning it was too hot, so I took the clock to the air-con controls, works like a good torch without putting the apartment lights on blaring in your eyes.Only very slight negative, alarm isn't really noisy, it will wake you up, but if you have earplugs in, you may not hear it, but a lot of us have our phone alarms we can use the odd time, for when we are away.The best travel alarm clock I could find that had the very important night light on, perfect size, weight everything.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great concept but has its limitations
*by T***S on 22 February 2013*

First let me point out that the product description is incorrect. It refers to a "Smartlite®" sensor that automatically turns the backlight off and on according to the ambient light level. This feature is in fact only found on other Acctim backlit alarm clock models, NOT the 13253. The backlight on the 13253 is controlled manually (and in a cumbersome way, unfortunately).While I love the central concept of this piece, the 'permanent' backlight, there are two major issues. One is that the light can only be active when the alarm is switched on (as others here have noted). So if you don't want the alarm set but do want the backlight, you're stuffed, unless you fiddle it by setting a 'dummy' alarm for a mid-afternoon time, say (and then hope to remember to switch it off once you've woken up!). All this faff when all that's really needed is a separate backlight on/off switch - which would also suit those who want to set the alarm but who *don't* want the backlight on for whatever reason. (Are you listening Acctim?!)The second problem is build quality. I guess for the price I wasn't expecting massive durability, but alas the clock lasted just one trip abroad in the luggage hold of an aircraft. The main switch, which protudes from the unit slightly hence isn't protected in transit, wasn't working properly after my return, rendering the product unusable.But if your need is for a backlit clock that isn't expected to be thrown around inside a plane, the 13253 could still be worthwhile. The crescendoing alarm sound and the snooze feature work very well in practice. The clear display - uncluttered by superfluous info such as temperature - is easily viewable from most angles. In fact, I like it to the extent I immediately bought a replacement for the one that got damaged.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect travel clock
*by M***  on 6 April 2013*

Needed a travel clock that has a lit up face so I don't have to keep pushing a light to read the time. This was perfect- it is back lit and the numbers are large enough that it can be easily read if yuo wake during the night. YES as some have pointed out, it is only back lit if you have the alarm switched on- that was no problem- I set the Alarm for Midday as I was on holiday - and turn it off when I awoke. As this turns the light off, and saves the battery. It just needed to slide the switch back on before bed every night and it was back lit again. Very light and has a protective cover when travelling that doubles as the stand. Perfect.
