It's a basic feature.  Just go to http//my.violet.net login / register. Click on Applications, Day2Day life, Wake Up Call and follow the instructions.  You can pick a different time for each day of the week, then upload an MP3 to play.
Alternatively, pretty much all the applications can be set to run at a specfic time.

Perfectly reliable (assuming your 'net connection does not die).  Mine's been working for years ;-)

Re: Alarm clock

Nothing is perfectly reliable about this product. I would not trust the alarm clock to wake me up.

Ian, old chap, this is not a flame or anything, but I don't undertstand why you don't get rid of your Nabaztag.  Everytime someone posts *anything* you are straight back with one of your "it's crap"-type comments.  Perhaps you might want to look at the Chumby?

Working fine over here...although bunny has been moved next to PC in office and Chumby has now taken over over alarm duties...

Re: Alarm clock

Works fine for me too.  I don't (and wouldn't) rely on it to get me up for work reliably, but I've had it reminding me it was time to get off the computer on weekday evenings for over a year, and it's been pretty reliable.  This is using the standard feature.  I seem to recall that it worked better with 24 hour time than 12 hour time for some reason.

Re: Alarm clock

I've had a Chumby for a while and recently picked up an original Nabaztag cheap from eBay.  I am a very sound sleeper, and I definitely would not rely on the Nabaztag to wake me up.  The Chumby would be a better choice, because it's louder, and it has a backup alarm in case it loses its network connection.  Actually, I rely more on my old clock radio's alarm to wake me up with an alarm, and I have my Chumby set up to start playing the Goon Show Radio internet radio stream at about the same time.  (Always good to start your day with the Goons!)  I'm currently experimenting with "alarms" on my Nabaztag, though, that are basically just a different 45-second-or-so MP3 I've uploaded for each day of the week, set for the time when I REALLY NEED to finally get out of bed to get ready for the day.  (Being such a sound sleeper, it takes me a while to wake up!)  One of them is Sonny Sharrock's theme for _Space Ghost Coast to Coast_!
