Hope so - have a battery on order and anxious to go to the remote

Seems to me an odd distinction between powering down manually and
powering down automatically on battery power. You mean to tell me that
if I just pull the plug out of the wall and throw the Radio into my
luggage then the alarm may go off while my bags are going through
airport security? Oh, joy

In this context, can someone tell me how I can connect to mysbs from a
sleeping sbradio without sending a wol to my server, when I was on sbs
the day before?
With a boom, it will work

I believe in this case, off is off.
I don't think they ever intended it to fire an alarm of you powered off
the radio.
I can't see how WOL would ever work over wireless.
Based on everything I've seen so far, I don't think they ever intended
the radio to be used in this type of situation. If the

Let's stop this speculation right now -- Radio does have this
capability. Like most electronic devices, Radio is never truly full
Interesting point on the alarm. Since the Radio is pretty optimal as an
alarm clock and it can have a battery you'd think the battery should
also function as a reliable backup for power outages (backup alarm tone
of course).
If it powers down all of the way and can't do this - that would be
anoth
I might be wrong, because I don't yet have a battery for mine, but I
feel like I read somewhere that even when it's completely off, there's
code that will turn on the radio for an alarm.
Am I totally off base?
What if you just set an alarm for when you expect to use it so it's on

That's plenty of current for Radio. You have to play Radio quite loud
to even approach half that level.

As for the first point, I understand the reasoning - just wish there
were a bit solution to a full shutdown. My iPod Touch is similar (with
a MUCH smaller battery and a much larger screen) but only appears to

Thanks for the replies everyone. A couple of points:
1. I don't see why it can't just power down everything *but* the
wireless and still last for several days on battery. I've got other
wireless devices (with much smaller batteries) that in some cases last
for weeks in this state. Fair enough
Ask yourself this: Would the battery life of (totally guessing here)
6-10 hours be sufficient for this application if it did _not_ power
itself down completely? The big power drain here is the wifi and as

with the wireless ne
I really think this should be configurable (like laptops). I see it
doing the same thing when I take it to the bathroom (I have plugs but
the point in a battery is so I don't have to drag the power cord
around).
What if I wanted to remotely start it? The hard power down to conserve
battery makes

No power in the bathroom? That doesn't sound like much fun.

I bought it for use in a bathroom (which in the UK has no power
outlets). I plug it in elsewhere when it needs charging, but planned to
leave it in the bathroom unless charging. I was just surprised to find
that it behaves differently (ie. fully shutting down) when running on
battery. Given how
The Radio will power itself down after a period to conserve battery
power when only on battery. I would think pulling the plug with a
battery installed should either leave it on or in standby. Then later
it should turn itself off completely from standby. If not, it sounds
like a bug.
Why do yo
I've recently installed the battery in my Radio, and unplugged it from
power for the first time this morning. Since then I've noticed after a
period of inactivity (not sure how long just yet) it is completely
powered off rather than 'sleeping'. In other words, it goes through the
