Questions about TFA Clocco

Hello, no, the alarm clock has only one alarm time, which can be activated or deactivated. With kind regards Your TFA Support

The touch function only works with batteries: See instructions for use (following copy of the manual). 8 Display lighting 8.1 Operation with adapter Caution: The permanent screen illumination only works with the adapter. You can change the brightness of the screen on 3 levels (L1=high, L2=medium, L3=low) using the DOWN key. If automatic brightness adjustment is activated (A-on), the low background lighting (lighting level L3) will automatically switch off between 7pm and 6:59am. 8.2 Battery operation (energy-saving mode) - To activate the lighting, press the alarm clock or make a loud noise (such as clapping your hands). - The background lighting is activated for 15 seconds.

The alarm clock features a touch function, allowing you to activate the display by touch. This feature is particularly useful when the device is operated with batteries, as the display remains invisible until activated by sound or touch.

A mains adapter with an EU plug is required for continuous operation of the "Clocco" alarm clock from TFA Dostmann. This mains adapter is already included in the scope of delivery, so you do not normally need to purchase it separately. However, if you have lost the mains adapter or need to replace it, you can order it from the retailer where you purchased the alarm clock or directly from the manufacturer TFA Dostmann. It is also possible to purchase a compatible mains adapter from other electronics retailers as long as it has the same specifications as the original adapter.

*no alarm signal

I also tried to hide the display in mains operation, but I did not succeed either. If I remember correctly, this is only possible with battery operation according to the operating instructions.

I have three of these things in my house. All in mains operation. All of them have a minimum luminous display. But since I want to read the time at any time, I don't need the hand clapper function to activate it. Sorry, so I can't help you any further. A bit negative with these things is the automatic adjustment of the time, i.e. the installation without disturbing devices. PC screens, TV screens or bad reception... With two devices, time changeover is manual.

No, I don't think so. However, I have found out that the radio signal only works when the alarm clock is plugged in. It does not work when it is powered by batteries.

It has a DC 5V connection.

It is a bright alarm. Is not constant, but always makes beep beep

There is no overview of how to set different ringtones in the operating instructions. I assume that the ringtone cannot be changed ex works.

The clock usually resets itself at night for me. But a few weeks ago it committed treason and stopped at 1:45am. (Yes, I don't know how that works with a digital clock either). Anyway, it was a very strange night when the alarm on my mobile went off at the correct time.

It is all on the back together with the power connection

I have also noticed that the alarm clock loses the connection at night between 01:00 and 03:00 or probably tries to synchronise the time again. Since the clock only serves as an "eye-catcher" for the time, this is not a problem for me.

If the alarm clock is connected to the mains, yes. Then you can set whether the time, date and temperature are alternating or fixed. Battery-operated, the display switches off after a certain time and can be activated with a hand clap.

For sure it's not scary. Smooth or loud it may depend on your distance and perception, I'd say loud enough

The numbers are approx. 2cm high and a total of approx. 6cm wide.

No just on off the alarm

With a button on the back of the device. But I wouldn't buy it. Does not have a "snooze" function. Alarm turned off means turned off. Therefore, it is actually useless as an alarm clock. But I "slept through" returning it. TFA support did not respond to my question.

No, he didn't.

Because even if you paid the full price, you would have had to pay the 9.
