Not necessarily. My alarm clock is switched off at the moment as it's not needed. If I switch it on right now, it will read 00:00. As would my parents' stereo, although my ipod dock in the kitchen will show the correct time.

Lets take this as an example.

The time you posted this was 4.49pm

Lets assume your alarm was set for 4.00am as per the OP.

Now if the clock starts at 0.00 then the alarm will go off in 4 hours time i.e. 8.49pm.

Same as my electric alarm clock ....if the electric goes off the time will always be 00.00 when it comes back on.

Agreed, some clocks do work this way (i.e do not start counting the time until the time is manually reset), and often the alarm would need resetting too, but that's not the way the OP's clock works apparently

I know it doesnt help the OP in any way,,,however. If I need up for something important i.e going on holiday etc (such as the OP did) , I always make sure I have more than 1 alarm set lol.

I will usually have my electric alarm clock set , my phone alarm set and at times I have been known to set the alarm on my Husbands phone too lol.
