How do I turn off alarm on a RCA RP4842A dual alarm clock when operating on the battery during a power outage and not by hitting the snooze button?

THE UNIT TO POWER
Plug AC power cord to the AC wall outlet. Before switching on the unit, make sure that the voltage of your
electricity supply is the same as that indicated on the rating plate.
BATTERY BACKUP
Insert 2 AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Be sure to observe the proper polarity (the "+" and
"-" signs) as indicated inside the battery compartment.
In case of power failure or interrupted AC power, the current time, alarm time settings, and stored radio
stations are preserved in the memory of the unit using the battery back-up function.
SETTING THE CLOCK
1. With the unit in CLOCK mode, press and hold the CLK/MEM button for about 1 second, the time will
begin to flash on the LED display.

4. When the correct time is selected, press the CLK/MEM button again to confirm.

set radio station. The alarm buzzer or radio indicator will light up.
SNOOZE FUNCTION
1. Whenever the alarm (radio or buzzer) activates, it can be temporarily suspended for a short period of 9
minutes by pressing the SNOOZE/SLEEP button once.
2. The buzzer or radio will then automatically activate again after the 9 minutes SNOOZE period has
ended.
3. This procedure can be repeated for up to approximately one hour.
DIMMER FUNCTION

Once the time is correct, users can move on to setting the alarm itself. Many iHome systems come with dual alarms allowing couples to set different times for each person or individuals to designate a weekday and weekend alarm. Each alarm has its own time, wake-to source, and frequency. The process of setting the alarm is the same for both options, the only difference is what button, either 1 or 2, users depress when setting it.

Once ready to set an alarm, users need to push and hold the button down, waiting for the alarm time to appear on the clock's display. From there, the up and down arrows or plus and minus buttons adjust the time backwards or forwards accordingly. Once that is complete, users select the frequency of the alarm by pressing the alarm button again and then opting for 7, 5, or 2, which correlates with all week, weekdays, and weekends respectively.

The final part to set is the wake source of the alarm. Users press alarm buttons one more time, and then use the same directional buttons to choose from iPhone and iPad on some models, radio, buzzer, or playlist. If users choose playlist, they must also setup a playlist within their Apple device titled iHome.

Because frequency is part of the alarm setting process, there is no need to turn on the iHome alarm manually as one would do with a normal alarm clock. However, users can check to see if the alarm is active by looking at the screen of the clock for the earliest alarm time, displayed on its lower part.
In the mornings, when the alarm sounds, users have two options: Snooze and disarm. The disarm process turns off the alarm until the next day in its frequency chain. Users disarm the alarm by pressing the power button. On the other hand, users must manually program the snooze button. Users do this by pressing and holding the snooze button and then toggling to the desired snooze time, generally between one and 29 minutes. Once this is set, users simply press the snooze button in the mornings to delay the replay of the alarm for that amount of time.

To use the worry-free backup battery, get a 9V battery. Then look for the battery compartment on the bottom of the unit. Press the tab with your thumb and then lift the cover out and away. Plug in the battery and then replace the cover.

Press Wake Time once and use the forward/reverse buttons to set the alarm time. Then press Wake Mode repeatedly to toggle between the options of wake to radio, wake to CD, or wake to alarm. (Note the radio must be tuned to your desired station and a CD needs to be in the player for these to work).

The Smart Snooze means that pressing Snooze, forward, reverse, play or stop will turn off the alarm temporarily. (Pressing Off will prevent the alarm from sounding again today.)

The English version of the manual for the RP5605 clock radio is available here: http://www.voxxsupport.com/images/User%20Manuals%20-%20FAQ%27s/RP5605.pdf .

I hope this helps.

I don't have the manual, but I figured it out. Setting is easy, just use the switch on the side to select what you want to set (clock, wake 1, wake 2). Then use the forward and reverse buttons on top of the radio to adjust your times. When you are finished, push the selection in the most forward position, looks kinda like a key.

To activate the alarms, click on the Wake 1 or Wake 2 button that are on top of the clock. You can switch between alarm and radio by pressing those buttons.

To deactivate the alarms, press the Wake 1 or Wake 2 button simultaneously with the Cancel button (all buttons on top of the radio.

Hello
Take out the memory battery that have been installed in it. Just wait for 3 minutes. Reinstall batteries, and set the time according to its user manual says. OK.

On my Elgin alarm clock, you just push the nap button and it will add 15 minute increments for a nap. I haven't figured out how to turn it off if I change my mind or wake up earlier than I set it.

Move the switch on the top back to either the clock symbol to set time or alarm 1 or 2 depending on which one you wish to set. On either side of the snooze button is a fwd and rev button. Push fwd to advance the time or rev to go back. If setting the alarm it will automatically turn the alarm on when you set it. To turn alarm on or off manually, push the button for the alarm you choose on the top rear right side.

For the snooze, hold down the snooze button (should display the length of time for snoozing) and hit the time/tune buttons up or down to increase or decrease the snooze time.

For the nap time, press nap and the nap indicator should start blinking. Again, hit the time/tune buttons up or down to increase or decrease the name time in 10 minute increments up to 2 hours.

I believe you can turn Nap off by holding the Nap button for several seconds.
