" ... Especially to recover on a bad button press. ... The On/Off button is also the AM /FM button. ... "
" ... The buttons are erratic ... sometimes the Set Time button turns on the radio. ... In fact, pressing OK turns on the radio to snooze. ... The buttons are placed in strange places ... "
" ... The buttons are also a little odd, I would prefer a more definite snooze button vs. on/off. ... I have hit the wrong buttons many times when waking up very tired. ... "
" ... You must first turn the radio on and then set the alarm if you want to wake to music. ... The buttons to turn the alarm off are very small and you must turn on a light to see them to turn off. ... "
" ... No one can figure out the buttons . ... "
" ... UGLY: GOOD LUCK READING THE CRYPTIC INSTRUCTIONS AND PUSHING THE *TINY* MULTI-FUNCTION BUTTONS . ... In fact, the "ALARM OFF" button seems to share the "SLEEP RADIO ON FUNCTION", so I had to put fuzzy velcro on the 1/2 of the button that actually turns the alarm off. ... "
" ... when pressing buttons to turn it off, it didn't work until I pressed button about 4 or 5 times at once . ... "
" ... The one negative is that the buttons are not intuitive. ... "
