How do I change radio volume on the alarm?

When I play the radio it is loud, but when the alarm goes off the volume is much lower. I need it louder to wake me up.

This clock is supposed to have an automatically "increasing" volume feature (starts off low, gets louder over a minute or so).

If not sufficient, look on the top right side of the clock, there should be an up/down volume control. It is a black oval-shaped button with a picture of a sound speaker in the middle. Push it upward to increase volume and downward to decrease volume. Unfortunately, you have to have a flashlight or light on to see it because none of the controls are illuminated.

Testimonial: "I didn't realize the cloak radio would get louder if I wait. I'll try that thanks. As for the volume button, that works fine but only if I'm already awake to adjust it. Will try again tomorrow given your tip. Thanks!"

    Thank you officehcik - I waited it out and sure enough the volume got louder. The manual didn't make any mention of that. Thanks!

ZX clock radio: How dor i control the volume of the alarm ? How do i swtich from buzzer to radio for wake up?

I have owned several radio alarm clocks and I have found them all fairly intuitive to operate - no instructions needed, though sometimes it takes a short time of playing around to fill in the operating details.

The alarm buzzer is generated by the audio part of the radio and so those clock radios that do have a buzzer with adjustable volume it is controlled by the radio volume control. In this case it is usually the case that falling asleep to the radio with the volume turned down results in not being woken next morning because the alarm isn't loud enough.

Switching from radio alarm to buzzer is usually intuitive but in the absence of instructions there will be a limited number of switch combinations to play around with.

Wake up with the radio is always set to level 19... I would like to set my radio alarm with a lower volume... my centrios is a Speed to Sound CENTRIOS IPOD/IPHONE CLOCK RADIO I will return this

We also have this problem. Found this info in the product's Q&A on the website: http://answers.thesource.ca/answers/9026/product/1218694/centrios-centrios-ipod-iphone-clock-radio-white-questions-answers/questions.htm

"Ok. there is a way that you can LOWER the wakeup radio volume. turn on the radio (forget about the alarm right now) and go to the station that you want. when you get to the station, you should be able to press the 'skip/fast forward' button on the remote. when you do this, number 5 should show up beside the station #. When you do this, it lowers the overall volume of every volume level, so now level 19 is equal to volume level 9/10, which for me is loud enough to wake me, but not give me a heart attack! so, now when the alarm goes of, the volume is a lot lower. BUT if you want to wake up to your ipod, this method will NOT work, it will still be up at level 19. so when you turn on your ipod, it will be really LOUD. again, this only works with the radio."

Also if you are waking to ipod and not radio this was in the reviews:
"Fooled with it for a bit and discovered that you have to turn down the volume of the iPod first before putting it on the dock. We've tried it a few times just to make sure and it worked every time!!"

Still not a perfect solution, but a great improvement. Hope this helps someone.

My Sakar Darth Vader helmet clock radio did not come with instructions. How do you get it to talk and not just play the radio?

When you set the alarm, turn the volume button on the front counter-clockwise (volume down) until it clicks. Darth will then wake you with one of three extremely LOUD, over-modulated soundbites or the electronic "beep-beep-beep" alarm . You can select the different soundbites/alarm with the "SELE-AL" button on the back. The only problem is, you can't tell which one you've selected until the alarm goes off. Cheap design.
