Weather conditions, power outages, and other problems can cause ordinary clock radios to cease working properly. But the Emerson CKS2237 is designed to never let you down. In fact, it automatically sets itself to the correct year, month, date, day and time as soon as you plug it in, and there's no need to reset the time after an interruption of electricity. The Emerson CKS2237 also features seven day-of-the-week LED indicators, high-lo display dimmer control, and automatic Daylight Saving and Leap Year time adjustments. Thanks to its large, easy to read 1.4-inch green display for time and .6-inch green display for month and date, even when you're just waking up, you won't have to struggle to see the exact time and date. Extremely reliable, the Emerson CKS2237 uses a battery that can last up to 5-8 years, depending on the length and frequency of power interruptions. For added peace of mind, the system comes with a low-battery indicator, and an included, extra long-life battery back-up system with 3-volt lithium battery.

The CKS2237 adjusts to meet the needs of your unique schedule by letting you set the programmable dual alarms for weekday, weekend, or everyday operation. And to ensure that you go to sleep and wake up in the way that suits you best, you can choose the sleep-to-music function, and either a radio or buzzer alarm. Other options include an auto shut-off timer (if you only want the alarm to ring a set number of times); snooze (if you need a little extra sleep); and the repeat alarm (if you prefer to have your sleep interrupted a few times before you ultimately get up). You'll also never have to worry about not hearing your alarm; the wide-range, three-inch dynamic speaker offers excellent sound quality.
