Digital camera reviews of Emerson SmartSet Dual Alarm Clock Radio CKS1850
Digital camera Review: NOT an atomic clock
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't let the "SmartSet" fool you. This is not an atomic clock nor does it set itself via radio waves to a precise time.
This is simply an alarm clock with a backup lithim CR2430 battery. When the AC power goes out the regular battery keeps running, but the display is shutoff.
When power comes back on all the clock is really doing is using the same time that the backup battery kept. So the fancy display you see when plugging it in is just the stored memory time coming back.
They set the correct time at the factory before shipping. So brand new the clock is set.
When my 3V battery died I had to go to 2 different stores (Walmart first, then finally Radioshack) to get a $5 replacement battery. I've had the clock for only 6 months.
Upon installing the new battery and plugging the clock in it did NOT set itself automatically. Instead it simply went to Jan 1, 2005. I had to manually set the date and time.
I believe their other "SmartSet" clocks are the same. If the battery ever dies and you lose AC power the clock loses its time setting and you have to MANUALLY set it.
