Clear away some clutter on your desk or nightstand with the all-in-one clock, radio, telephone, and caller-ID system from AT&T. You can wake up to music, news, or a forceful alarm and place nighttime calls with the lighted handset.

Setting up the 360 was easy--we just plugged in the AC adapter andtelephone cord. The backlit LCD display prompted us to set the clock, which we were able to do without the manual. We did glance at the manual before entering the caller ID settings, but the instructions were straightforward.

Programming the memory dialing was almost intuitive. The process was a slight variation of AT&T's usual method of pressing the Prog button, dialing the number, pressing the Mem button, and then pressing one of the buttons to store the number. This time we had to press Prog again instead of the Mem button.

Setting the clock-radio alarm was a little unusual. On the LCD screen, the radio is called Alarm A, and the buzzer is called Alarm B. (Why not Radio and Buzzer?) In our test, the telephone sounded clear and bright; the lighted handset worked on ordinary line voltage, requiring neither the AC adapter nor the battery; and even without the 9-volt battery, all settings were preserved without AC power for a few minutes. The caller-ID/call-waiting feature includes a bright indicator to let you know you have new caller ID entries in the history list or that a new call is coming in (if you're already on the phone).

Pros:

• Sets up in minutes
• Sturdy construction

Cons:

• Imprecise volume control
• Can't view the time when the radio is on
