The Maverick R495 Atomic Projection Clock is a digital stereo AM/FM clock radio and weather station with modern styling that displays the atomic time, date, weekday, indoor/outdoor temperature, and animated weather forecast on its backlit color-changing LCD display in reference to the outdoor remote temperature. There's more, the R495 is also equipped with an integral projection feature that displays the current time on the ceiling for easy night viewing. This clock even has stereo speakers and an auxiliary audio input for use with an ipod, mp3 player or other sound source.

The LCD backlight remains on continuously once the unit is powered by an external adaptor and is displayed in Red when the outdoor temperature is higher or equal to 75.2°F, Amber for temperatures between 50.2°F to 75°F, or Blue for outdoor temperatures lower than or equal to 50.0°F. This clock can be powered by 4-AA batteries or with its included A/C adaptor and is designed as a free-standing unit only and cannot be wall mounted.

You'll appreciate both the absolute accuracy and convenient features of the Maverick R495 atomic clock radio. For the time format, you can select 12-hour with PM, or 24-hour. Successful reception of the time-synchronization radio signal is indicated by a radio tower and waves icon above clock seconds. You can select/change your continental U.S. time zone (EST, CST, MST, or PST) at any time by means of a button on the back of the clock. If you live in an area that does not observe Daylight Saving Time (Arizona and parts of Indiana) you can select the DST/TIME ZONE and +/- buttons to disable DST.

The indoor and outdoor temperature can be displayed in either °F or °C, and both the temperature unit and the 12-/24-hour time format can be changed at any time during normal operation simply by pressing buttons on the top of the clock. The measuring range of the remote sensor is -58°F to +158°F (-50°C to +70°C), the range of the indoor temperature is -4°F to +158°F (-20°C to +70°C).

You can use the SLEEP function to let the radio lull you to sleep. The radio turns off after your preselected time, which can be 10 to 120 minutes.  Prior to automatic turn-off, you can turn the radio off by pressing SNOOZE or RADIO ON/OFF. The R495 has dual daily alarms. You can choose to wake to the radio or to the alarm with or without snooze. When the alarm is set to on, either RADIO or a BEEP alarm icon appear below the seconds on the display. You can choose to use the SNOOZE function or turn the alarm off when it sounds. Pressing the SNOOZE bar silences the alarm for 5 minutes.

The R495 clock operates on AC120V, 60Hz house current and uses a 4-AA batteries (included) as a power backup during ac power outages or when unplugged. The battery compartment is on the bottom of the clock. Expected battery life depends on the frequency and duration of power outages or unplugged periods. The radio in the R495 has an external wire as an antenna.

Because of this clock's styling, it will fit in nicely with a variety of interior decors. As mentioned above, the clock is designed for use as a free-standing unit on a nightstand, table, dresser, shelf, or the like. Almost anyone can appreciate and use the Maverick R495. Naturally, this feature filled digital atomic clock radio makes an especially thoughtful and practical gift for family members and friends alike. And because the backlit LCD and the displayed digits are larger than that of many clocks, the R495 may work for people with a mild degree of vision impairment.
