Reviews for Philips DC291 Docking Clock Radio with Remote

Sounds great, looks great. Unfortunately it does NOT have battery back-up. If power is lost the alarm and time are re-set. I confirmed this with Philips who pointed out that the documentation shipped with the product describes this.How stupid is that? They couldn't tell me what the batteries actually do.

Also, whenever my phone is docked, the radio cuts out for 3-15 seconds on a seemingly random basis.
