Just got this CR 2 clock radio. Clock and radio work well, a great auto- dimming red LED display.
It is a bit unclear as to how to set the snooze and alarm using the touch sensors, the clock sets ok, I’m not sure if it is me or is there a problem with the clock IC?
Has anybody got the user instructions or know what to do?

Got it working, figured out how to set the snooze and alarm.
Occasionally when set to come on radio, it will fail to, or it will just switch off after a few minutes, instead of staying on for, I think an hour.
I’m thinking something with the Fairchild FCM 7030 Clock IC.
Has anybody got a schematic as I cannot find one anywhere, just to check supplies are correct, cheers.
