Is there a particular time of day this thing is supposed to run a test?

Not sure on that, I just notice the advisory light comes on with a test advisory message showing on the display every now and then. I figured the broadcast station controlled that.

I think the weather bureau runs the test about once a month. I have hear the test but never kept track of when and how often. Maybe you can Google weather bureau tests.

It probably varies from state to state, but in Georgia the test signal is sent our around 11 am on Wednesdays.

The radio itself doesn't "run" a test, the National Weather Service does! The "required weekly test" usually occurs every Wednesday between 11 AM and 12 noon (unless there is a threat of severe weather that day - then it is postponed). If you want to hear the test alert , the radio must be configured to sound alert type "RWT" (via the "defeat siren" menu).

Yes you can set it the normal timing with the am and pm displayed, just check the manual its very easy. :)

Looks like mine has the same thing (except showing as a tuesday). Mine is incorrect as well.

it might be the optimal start issue. The times you program are the times it should reach the temperature programmed so it may start up at 5am so that at 7am it has reached 70. It "learns" by adjusting each day unit the optimal start time is reached.

No, ours runs for as long as you set the time. Longer than 30 min if set that way.

You must select a time for it to start. So you turn it on, push the other time button, and it will begin to run.

Yes, I set it every evening for 5:00 a.m. the next morning for my husband and he has coffee waiting for him when he gets up at 5:15! A blue dot lights up on the panel so you know the auto is set, and you can check the set time with a push of a button! Works perfectly every time!

Yes you can. When programming, you can set each day to run a specific amount of time or completely off.

Sorry, no always-on feature. But as Alan suggested, you can test as often as you want and it will log those results. And as others have said, those results might not be accurate or consistent.

No. Not unless it happens at same time every day. Check on a time delay relay.

I have not used it under those situations. If you have time to test it just make sure it has 24 to 48 hrs to really set up. Good Luck

it has a battery that runs the meter. it could possibly be dead after that date. i doubt it tho, most dates are very conservative in the manufacturers favor.

The thermostat has settings to do either. For instance, it will either start at 8:00 am if that is the set time, or if you set it to Recovery mode, it will make sure the heat is up to temperature for 8:00 am.

Yes, it does. I did have some issues in the beginning as far as waiting for it to set itself to the correct time however, this may be an issue for you as well.

I have never used it for that reason but the instruction book says you can set the device to operate at various times of the day and random time periods to avoid predictability. So I would say the answer is "yes."

Use the menu to set the date & time. As with all electronic devices it's weird. Trial & error is the way to go.

There are only the preset hours. It goes to a warming setting after the preset time.
