The
CL-1604 Maverick Tube Alarm Clock/Flashlight is a travel size digital quartz alarm clock
with an integral LED torch flashlight. Use it at home, and take it with you
when you're traveling so you won't have to wander around in the dark in
unfamiliar places. The easy-to-read display is backlit in blue for viewing
clock time and alarm time in the dark. Great for camping, the CL-1604 combines two
real necessities--an alarm clock and a
super-bright flashlight--into one mighty handy instrument!

The clock in the CL-1604 is a highly accurate
digital quartz clock (not an atomic clock). You can select 12-hour or 24-hour
time format by pressing a button in the battery compartment. Clock time
is easily set by pulling out and rotating the knob on the right end of the
clock upward and downward until the correct time is reached. During
normal operation, pressing down on the top of
the clock so that it rocks backward slightly lights the soft blue LCD
panel backlight for 5 seconds.
The alarm time is set by pushing the
knob on the right end of the clock in (to its normal position) and then rotating
the knob upward or downward as you did for clock time with the knob
pulled out. To turn on (enable) the alarm, you slide the switch on the back
of the clock to SNZ. A snooze icon (Zz) and an alarm sound icon ((((.))))
appear next to the alarm time on the display to let you know the alarm
is on. When the alarm time is reached, the alarm beeps for 1 minute. You
can press the top of the clock to silence the alarm and activate the snooze
function (and light the backlight for 5 seconds). After 5 minutes, the
alarm sounds again. To turn off the alarm entirely, simply set the switch on
the back to ALM OFF. You'll need to set it back to SNZ later on if you
want the alarm to sound the next day.
To turn on the flashlight, simply pull out the knob on the
left end of the clock.
The super-bright white LED will light your path in a darkened walkway or room.
For powering, the CL-1604 requires four
AAA (1.5V) batteries. These are included with the unit. To the left of
clock time in the CL-1604's display is a battery icon that tells you how much power is left in the
batteries.
Four charge levels can be displayed: full, medium, low, and very
low. The full charge icon indicates that clock and LED torch are
operating in
optimal battery condition. The medium icon indicates that clock and
torch are operating in good condition. The low charge icon tells you
that the display is
getting dim and the clock may stop working, but the torch may still
work. The
very low icon indicates that the clock has stopped functioning and the
torch may not work.
The CL-1604 is designed to rest horizontally on a flat surface such as a nightstand,
desk, table, or shelf. If you're looking for a clock-flashlight combo
that's compact, easy to use, and handsomely styled, chances are the
Maverick CL-1604 Tube Alarm Clock Flashlight may be just what you need.
It makes a perfect gift, too.
Important: Do not use the clock
in temperatures above 104°F (40°C) or below 23°F (-5°C). Also, do
not use the clock where there are strong magnetic fields, such as near
an unshielded loudspeaker. Replace the batteries every 12 months or when
the clock stops working. Frequent use of the flashlight shortens battery
life.
