Conair TCR500 Clock Radio Telephone
Conairphone built its business with standard corded telephones, which are still its foundation. However, Conairphone continues to strengthen its leadership role in the consumer electronics industry by introducing dynamic telephone designs. This reinforces Conairphone's commitment to design, fashion and value.Conair CID-500 is a slim corded phone combined with a clock radio. It features last number redial, AM/FM tuning, auto radio mute when using telephone, indirect lighted dial, a ringer with on/off control, an AM and Alarm indicator, and more.
For a guest room, rec room, or small office space, the Conair TCR500 serves three essential functions--telephone, clock, radio--and provides a well-chosen suite of features to complement them. The phone handset rests on top of the unit and features a three-line LCD for easy review of caller ID and quick call back. The phone can store up to 64 names and numbers in memory. Additional features include redial, ringer off/on, volume control, visual ringer, lighted dial, hearing aid compatibility, last number redial, and automatic muting of the radio when you're on the phone. The lighted clock radio has direct tuning of AM and FM, sleep/wake to music, an alarm that resets with one touch, and sleep and snooze controls. The Conair TCR500 is powered by a 9-volt battery with a backup battery and is supported by a one-year limited warranty.

Conair TCR500 Clock Radio Telephone Reviews
Alas, I thought I was buying the perfect proeduct. Several of the numbers on the telephone keypad broke after just a few weeks. I went into the wrong business - I wish I could have a job pulling the wool over people's eyes, just like Conair. The time readout is terrible. Was I fooled. HA. The radio reception is awful. Had I kept the box just one day longer, I would have been able to return the Conair TCR500 Clock Radio.
++==THE GOOD==++ ** I Like the bright display, even dim is very bright ** I like the oversized snooze button ** There are no bargains or good deals with this phone. ==THE BAD== ** The radio dial tunes very badly ** The caller ID is very difficult to see and poorly lit ** The handset cord is only 12 inches long coiled up and if streched more than 18 inches you will pull the base from whatever you have it sitting on ** the phone cord that plugs into the wall is permanently attached to the base set and can not be switched for a longer one, this is not good if your phone jack is more than 2 feet away, you would have to buy an adapter to extend the cord ** The worst thing about this is the fact that you can hear music from the radio bleeding into the phone line, the radio and alarm are OFF, this is very annoying, I could live with the other short comings, but this is the worst thing about this, if anyone knows how to solve this issue please send me an email. Unfortunately, when I bought this phone, I got less than what I paid for.
This is not a very good buy. The radio is TOO loud when it comes on. The radio is hard to tuen. The clock face is too bright in the dark and the caller ID is hard to see.
Not an easy alarm clock to operate. I found myself strategically positioning objects in front of it at night to block the insomnia-producing rays. Even on the dimmer of the two settings this clock's face generates enough light to read a book by. I still have to take a long look at it to figure out how to set the alarm time. Also the button lay out is very confusing.
Next up, last week the radio started acting up. It is ONLY Caller ID, if you are on the other line, there is no display of who is calling IN. First off, it is advertised as a CALLER/ID/CALLWAITING ID (or at least mine was).which it is NOT. Now, bit by bit the phone is falling apart. When I first got this phone about 7 or 8 months ago, the only thing that bothered me was the FM tuning dial (antiquated/hard to tune in ANY station) and the clock display, even on low, was BRIGHT. It can no longer be turned off. All I can do is just turn the radio volume down and use it as a clock.and phone.no alarm, no caller ID.it's a piece of trash. Most of the time the Caller ID DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
The only thing good about this phone is the voice quality which you get with ANY corded phone. In other words, the alarm no longer works because on every setting (off/on/radio/alarm)the radio plays. UGGGHH. As time goes by, caller id numbers pop up less and less.I'd say out of 10 calls coming in, it displayed only one.
