Product Information
Full details
This Ravel midi bedside alarm clock, in white with chromed edging, is perfect for those seeking a clear, easy-to-read timepiece with a silent operation. Its key benefit is the highly visible dial and luminous hands for nighttime viewing, though the alarm sound, while featuring a crescendo, may not be sufficient for very deep sleepers. This rectangular clock offers essential functions like snooze, a silent sweep movement, and a built-in nightlight.

FAQs
What type of battery does this clock use?
This clock requires one AA battery, which is not included with the purchase.
How do I activate the nightlight?
Press the button located on the top of the clock. This button also functions as the snooze button.
Is the alarm sound adjustable?
The alarm features a crescendo function, meaning it gradually increases in volume, but the overall volume level is not adjustable.
Will the ticking noise disturb my sleep?
No, this clock features a silent sweep movement, meaning the second hand moves continuously without any audible ticking sounds.
What are the dimensions of the clock?
The clock is described as 'midi' and 'bold and rectangular', but specific dimensions are not provided in the product details.
What is the warranty period?
Ravel offers an 18-month manufacturer's guarantee on this clock.
Can I turn off the luminous glow?
The luminous glow is a passive feature that charges with light exposure and is always present when charged. It cannot be independently turned off.
Troubleshooting
Clock is not running
Ensure a fresh AA battery is inserted correctly. Check that the battery contacts are clean.
Alarm did not sound
Verify that the alarm has been set to the correct time and that the alarm 'on/off' switch or setting is engaged.
Second hand is ticking
This clock features a sweep movement, meaning the second hand moves continuously. This is normal operation and intended to be silent.
Luminous hands are not glowing
The luminous material requires exposure to light to charge. Place the clock in a well-lit area during the day. The glow will diminish over time.
