What is it? It is an alarm clock radio that features two 7 day alarm banks, one for him and one for her. It also comes with daily alarms (up to 7 can be set), nap timer and sleep timer. You can wake to an alarm buzzer or a preset radio station. Its line-in jack lets you play your favorite songs or music and its line-out jack lets you use headphones while listening to the radio.
What are the main features of the Executive 7 day alarm clock?
- It is an alarm clock radio with AM/FM reception and 20 radio station presets.
- It has two 7 day alarm banks. Each alarm bank lets you set 7 independent daily alarms, one for each day of the week. Using the first alarm bank, you can set a different alarm every day, say, at 6:00 on a Monday, 7:00 on a Tuesday, 6:30 on a Wednesday and so on. Your spouse can also set a different 7 day alarm schedule for him- or herself using the second alarm bank.
- It has a daily reminder alarm bank. These daily alarms sound at the same time everyday and you can set up to 7 of them.
- Each alarm can be independently associated with either a buzzer or a preset radio station. You can wake up on Monday to a buzzer, Tuesday on an FM radio preset, Wednesday to an AM radio preset and so on.
- A nap timer lets you have a quick nap without disrupting any alarm settings. The timer can be set in 5 minute increments up to 2 hours. It works by counting down and when it hits 0:00, the alarm sounds.
- A sleep timer turns the radio off for you automatically when you are falling to sleep at night. You can set it up to 2 hours in 5 minute increments. It works by counting down and when it hits 0:00, the radio is turned off.
- The alarm wake volume is independent of the radio volume. You can play radio softly in the evening and yet choose to have a louder alarm volume.
- It has an alarm skip feature for people who tend to wake up before their alarm sounds in the morning. It skips the next alarm so it is not sounded, without affecting the one after next.
- It lets you customize a large number of settings. For example, the following features are customizable: snooze duration (1 to 30 minutes), snooze type, gradual wake (on/off), backlight level (off,low,med,hi), alarm duration (1 minute to 2 hours) and several others.
- There are 3 snooze types: Normal, Descending and Off. Normal means that alarm sounds after the set snooze duration, and it is repeatable indefinitely. Descending means the snooze duration is halved every time the alarm is snoozed. Off means the snooze key does not respond.
- The gradual wake option, if set to on, means that the alarm sound volume goes up gradually until it reaches the maximum volume.
- The LCD backlight has 4 levels. If it is set to off, pressing any button will illuminate the LCD for 15 seconds. This is great for sleepers who are disturbed by even the smallest amount of light.
- It has a line-in jack so you can connect your MP3 player to it and play it using the alarm clock's internal speaker. You can use the sleep timer in conjunction with an external audio source so that you can fall asleep to your favorite music.
- It has a line-out (headphone) jack so you can listen to your music without disturbing your spouse.
- It has a powered USB port to power certain external USB devices like laptop-type lamp or fan. The USB port is not meant to be for data transfer.
- It uses a CR2032 button cell battery to retain its memory in case of power outage.

What are the main benefits of having the Executive 7 Day Alarm Clock?
- The flexible wake options are perfect if you have a changing daily schedule, whether it is because of work, study or other activities.
- You can choose to wake up to a buzzer or a radio station. The gentle wake feature, as its name implies, wakes you gently without being too abrupt.
- You can set the snooze to work normally, or more interestingly in a descending way. In this case the snooze time is halved every time you press the snooze button until such point that the clock no longer lets you snooze any more. You can disable snooze altogether too.
- You can choose to listen to the radio or to an external audio source.
- It is easy to operate and has a large information-laden LCD. Its features are customizable to suit your needs.
- You can use the daily alarm bank to remind you to do something that you have to do every day such as taking medication 3 times a day.
- You can listen to one radio station at a low volume while falling asleep, and be woken up by a different radio station at a higher volume.
