To change the time and set the alarm on your Braun alarm clock, follow these steps: 1. Time Setting: Turn the TIME SET knob on the back of the clock in the direction of the arrow until the correct time is shown. Be sure to only turn the knob in the direction indicated to avoid damaging the movement. 2. Alarm Setting: Turn the ALARM SET knob on the back of the clock in the direction of the arrow until the desired alarm time is displayed. Again, only turn the knob in the direction of the arrow. 3. Activating the Alarm: Pull the button up via the back of the clock so that the green alarm bar is visible. To deactivate the alarm, push the button at the top of the clock until the green alarm bar is not visible. If you find the knobs difficult to turn, ensure they are not over-tightened and try gently turning them in the correct direction. If issues persist, consider contacting Braun's customer support for further assistance.

This allows you to illuminate the clock for a few seconds to see the time in darkness

Yes. The hands light up!

It doesn't make any ticking sound and the time is visible in the dark.

The light goes with the front button. And the light does not go with the alarm tone. The other function of the front button is to delay the alarm tone for five minutes (snooze).

Only if you hold the alarm clock directly to your ear, otherwise nothing.

The alarm clock has a quiet quartz ticking sound, as it is equipped with a precise quartz movement that is described as quiet.
