⚡ At a Glance
- • Readability: 4 cm high digits with fully spelled days and months for easier recognition
- • Best for: Seniors and people living with Alzheimer’s or memory loss who need clear day/time cues
- • Not ideal for: Environments that require night-time viewing without auxiliary lighting
Self-setting via the MSF radio signal ensures the clock shows the correct time and date. Large, non-abbreviated day and month names make time and date easy to read.
Clear, unambiguous time and date - With 4 cm digits and full day and month names
Four-centimetre high digits present time at a glance, while day and month names are fully spelled out rather than abbreviated to avoid confusion. No backlight is included, so visibility depends on ambient light.
Easier recognition of time and date for people with reduced vision or cognitive impairment, helping to reduce anxiety about when events occur.
Accurate timekeeping with automatic synchronisation - Thanks to MSF radio self-setting
Automatic synchronisation uses the MSF radio signal to set time and date without manual intervention. Manual setting remains available if synchronisation fails.
Reliable time display removes the need for constant adjustments and keeps schedules consistent for carers and residents.
Flexible placement and simple power - With battery operation and mountable design
Runs on two AA batteries so the clock can be positioned away from sockets, and includes an option for wall mounting or freestanding placement. No mains power or backlight is listed.
Safe placement reduces trailing cables and allows the clock to be put where it is most visible to the person using it.
