You can take it out and the clock still works. My backlight stopped working, until i rolled the bottom battery around to make better contact, now it works fine.

Is there any way to get it to work again? I changed the battery in the sensor clock and now the sensor nor the backlight work. Is there any way to get it to work again?

I've set the alarm to go off at 10 pm, and it does that, but I can't figure out how to get the alarm to shut off and stay off. When I touch the clock the alarm stops, but then goes off a couple of minutes later. And it keeps doing that over and over. Any help, or a link to the instruction manual?

It is a "sensor" clock in that the back light turns on when something conductive is in close proximity to the clock. @Michael,

This clock does not synchronize itself with the atomic clock broadcasts. It is a “sensor” clock in that the back light turns on when something conductive is in close proximity to the clock.

The previous owner left me this sensor clock (same as above). I put fresh batteries in. Set the date, alarm and celsius to fahrenheit. I suspect the name "sensor clock" means it senses the current time. You know what happens when an assumption is made. How long does it take to sense the correct time? It started at 12:00. I tried to set it thinking I could get close to the correct time. No luck. Any ideas? It does allow me to change the the hours place from 12:XX to 0:XX. I just moved into a new house.

As for illumination, it lights up when a semi-conductive object is in close proximity to it. Mine still lights up after disassembly and a battery change. Not sure why yours is having trouble.
