Set Clocky as you would any alarm clock, set you snooze time (up to 9 minutes). If you don't get up after your snooze time, Clocky will jump off your nightstand (up to 3 feet tall) and wheel away, beeping and running into objects. You'll have to get up to find him and silence the alarm. Takes 4 AAA batteries which we furnish. His wheels can be disable if you want just an alarm clock.
