I have been using this alarm clock for 2 1/2 years now, without changing the battery. Never had any problems. Sounds like a defective model (warranty case).

Yes

No

With the current version of the Braun radio-controlled alarm clock BC09W-DCF, the automatic time changeover works without any problems. Here are the relevant details: - The alarm clock receives the DCF radio signal from Frankfurt, Germany, which provides the most accurate clock in the world. - The automatic time and date setting, including the changeover to summer and winter time, takes place without manual intervention. - This means that the alarm clock displays the time and date to the second and automatically adjusts to changes in summer and winter time.

The display of the Braun BC09 does not light up automatically in the dark. To be able to read the time in the dark, the backlight must be activated.

The display of the Braun BC09 does not specifically light up when the alarm goes off, but it has a backlight function that can be activated manually to see the display in the dark.
