New features on the Neverlate Executive are too numerous to list but, in short, the Exec features a new digital tuner with 20 station presets, an upgraded internal speaker for better sound, 2 banks of 7-day wake schedules plus daily "reminder" alarms and a myriad of customizable features and functions.

Please ensure that the Neverlate's center MODE knob is in either the RUN or ALL OFF position in order to enter the setup sequence.

While that alarm time is visible in the display, tap the ON|OFF key. The display should now show --:--, meaning that alarm is disabled and will not sound.

The Neverlate Executive's backlight is fully adjustable. Three levels of brightness are provided and, yes, the backlight may be turned off entirely for those that are disturbed by even the tiniest amount of emitted light. If the backlight is turned off entirely, pressing any button on the Exec will illuminate the LCD for 15 seconds.

The Neverlate Executive is unique in that the the alarm volume may be adjusted independently of the ordinary radio volume. This allows you to fall asleep to light music and still awake at the volume of your choosing. Alarm volume is adjusted globally for all alarm settings (buzzer and/or radio alarms). The full volume setting is sufficiently loud to awake even the deepest sleepers.

The Neverlate Executive's headphone jack allows private music listening without disturbing your spouse or partner. Alternatively, the same jack can be used to attach an external powered speaker if desired. In either case, if this jack is in use, the Exec's internal speaker is muted - all music and alarms (buzzer and/or radio alarms) sound through the attached device.

The USB port is a standard 5V USB port but contains no facility for data transmission. It was included so that small lamps, fans and other similar devices (originally designed for laptop computers) could be utilized on the bedside. The USB port may be able to be used to power and/or charge some PDA and/or cell phone devices however since there are so many different devices on the market AI makes no specific claims regarding use of the USB port for these purposes.

One CR2032 button cell is required for backup functions, but is not included. The required battery is available on this website or at your local drug store. The battery backup on the Neverlate Executive is designed to retain all time, alarm and preference settings in the event of a power outage. When power resumes all of these settings will be recalled as previously set.

The Exec contains a BETA feature that we call the "One Time" alarm adjustment. The purpose of this feature is simple - if there is a one-time variation in your morning routine the "One Time" adjust may be used to temporarily alter the wake time of the next, upcoming alarm. After it sounds, the temporarily adjusted alarm reverts back to its ordinary setting. To use the "One Time" adjust feature:

1. Press the Snooze | Review key to invoke the "alarm review" feature. The next upcoming alarm is displayed.


2. While review is active, adjust the displayed alarm time using the value collar. The words ONE TIME appear on the display to indicate that the "One Time" adjust feature is active.

We'd love to hear from you regarding your experience with this BETA function. If you have questions, comments or to report a bug please contact us.

Yes! A 220V version of the Exec was introduced in June of 2008. Please visit International Locations for purchasing information.
