All alarms is the alarm main switch. When that one is off, no alarms
will work.

I needed to get up earlier than usual this morning so I sat down at

Not easy, I might say, especially when all you want to do is get to

Rather than reset the Alarm1 time for just Monday morning I added

My Radio alarms work perfectly 99 out of 100 days (unless I sync them,
or my old dusty server decides to have a day off). And when they don't
work, the backup sound kicks in. I don't doubt that you people may have
far more problems with your Radios than I have, but some are more lucky
than you,

Hmmm, this is from the Livio user guide:
to register your radio and setup an online account go to

Registering allows you to set up custom stations as well as add audio
services to the radio.
I wonder what they mean by custom stations. Surely a

It's not like that in my case. The alarm is set to come on with a
selected sound effect not a radio station. The SBR is switched off so,
at alarm time, the SBS should trigger the sound effect. Presumably, if
that fails the SBR will trigger its own backup alarm - ie. the canned
music.
