English, male voice, by pressing the large, round button on top of the clock, and also
includes a number of other audible cues to help the user.
The clock is radio controlled, which means it has a radio antenna built in and receives

745 miles (1,200km).
It also has the following features: current time announcement, date announcement,

The clock can also be powered using the mains, and an AC adaptor is available
separately under product code CC53AC, priced at £8.50 including VAT.
