iHome iP41 Rotating Alarm Clock for iPhone & iPod Review

Audio/Others by stefan @ 2011-02-07

The iP41 Rotating Alarm Clock for iPhone & iPod from iHome comes with an unique feature: the ability to flip the device in case we want to watch movies or clips and the LCD display adapts to the orientation of the device. When the internal backup battery is installed, it can retain the time settings when power outages occur.

On top of the speaker, we can find more buttons:

 

-Alarm Button

-Hour Button

-Minute Button

-Alarm Reset/Power Button

-Play/Pause Button

On the back of the unit, some more buttons, switches and jacks can be found, along with the backup battery compartment:

 

-Clock Adjust Button

-DST Switch

-Expanded Bass Effect Switch

-Aux-in Jack

-DC Jack

 

 

 

 

The sticker on the back shows us the name of the product, its backup battery type and rating, the AC adaptor rating, along with some more info:

 

 

 

The device is surrounded with rubber bands to avoid scratching the surface it will stay on, but also will help it stay stable on the table:

 

 

 

The provided backup battery can be installed really easy; we only have to remove the protective cover, put the battery as instructed on the drawing and then install the cover back:

 

 

 

 

When the product is operating, the LCD display lights up, showing us the time:

 

 

 

If an Iphone/Ipod is also connected in the dock, a small pictogram will appear on the screen, to confirm that the connection was successful:

 

 

 

An interesting product feature is that we can flip the device, and the display will also rotate, to assure the clock will be easy read:

 

 

 

Along with the clock, the pictogram that shows the connected Iphone/Ipod will also change its orientation:

 

 

 

When the daylight saving setting is modified from the back of the device, a small sun will appear on the display:

 

 

 

Also, when sleep mode is activated, a nice “ZZZ” pictogram will appear on the display:

 

 

 

If we have an alarm activated, a small clock pictogram will appear on the display, which looks the same as on the iP49 unit, previously reviewed:
