Alarm clock TFA 98.1040.01 — analog, black, battery AA, 96×55×116 mm

TFA 98.1040.01 is an analog alarm clock in a black plastic housing designed for bedside tables and desks. It is battery powered (AA, 1.5 V) for mains-free placement and portable use. The clock combines a traditional analogue dial with a small digital display that can show seconds or date. Radio-controlled time setting via the DCF-77 signal ensures high timekeeping precision, while a backlight improves readability in low light.

Advantages

The radio-controlled mechanism keeps time accurate without manual adjustment, and the analogue dial offers a familiar, easy-to-read layout. A compact footprint (96 × 55 × 116 mm) makes the clock suitable for small surfaces. The integrated digital display provides additional information such as seconds or date, the snooze function allows a short extra rest after the alarm, and the backlight enables reading the time in the dark. Battery operation (single AA) provides reliable, mains-independent performance.
