This is a radio-controlled clock (digital electronic sound alarm clock). I bought it about a year ago, but since I no longer have a need for it, I'm offering it to someone who can use it. How about it for starting a new life in the spring? I checked the operation by inserting batteries just in case, so although it's new, I've listed it as "like new." I haven't checked the alarm function, but the time setting worked fine. The batteries will be removed as they are consumable, and the clock will be sold without batteries (it didn't come with batteries originally). You will need to insert batteries and set the time. Please refer to the instruction manual for how to set the time on a radio-controlled clock. Please consider this item if you understand that it has been handled by a person and stored at home, and that it has been operated once. Please forgive any minor dust particles. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive or particular about details. I will pack it in the original packaging (bubble wrap) after taking it out of the box. The box will be folded and included. - Brand: RHYTHM - Function: Radio-controlled clock - Accessories: Instruction manual - Model: Digital radio-controlled clock Thank you for looking.
