does the unit retain messages after the power is turned off?

I have good news about that question. It does retain the messages for a few days in my experience and I have never lost the programming on my sign. The bad news is the time does not hold and the selections are scheduled and executed by the time stamps. If you only have 1 programmed message then its no worries because it is automatically marked as the default msg. Hope this helped and I am compelled to advise that a computer novice could have trouble getting the results they want. The computer software uses DOS scripting and a virtual modem or another way to say it, my mother would never get it working... If that doesn't scare you then it can do many things! (I plan to use it in my car when / if I do not need it in my store!) Enjoy, Greg

Dear Paul: yes. the sign from goLEDgo is yes, there has Memory designed in the sign, the message you displayed has remembered, when you power on, the sign can read the message saved automatically and display again.

YES. I have unplugged the base unit several times as I put my new office desk in order. The backup power from the handset is limited by the rather small AAA batteries, so I don't expect it to last very long. In my experience, the majority of power outages or brown-outs are very brief (i.e. less than 2-3 seconds) and anything longer is probably going to be hours, not minutes. I think this is a thoughtful feature and it's showing up in more and more ordinary devices that aren't much fun to re-program. It works unless the handset isn't in place during the outage, but even then, I didn't lose any programming (addressbook, speed dialing, and cell phone pairing). YES.

No, the color of the light don't go to default when power off, always maintain the last setting when we turn it on again.......

No, and this is horribly annoying. Even a brief outage resets the clocks, alarms and everything - you have to completely reprogram everything. If you have power issues at all I would advise against it.

I'm assuming it is to retain the user defined settings when the unit is turned off.

Maybe. It retains the programming for a period of time after you remove power. I never found out how long though.

The unit is not powered by your electricity. It is powered by the phone line which basically never loses power. Even if you disconnect from the phone line it will not loose the memory for blocked numbers at least in the short term, but it will lose the date

Yes. It has a external override button which works to turn the devices off when they are scheduled to be on or on when scheduled to be off. Next time they are scheduled to be on, they will turn on whether you have overridden them the past scheduled off or not.

We do not use the unit in this configuration, but I have found that power saving features make the device unresponsive for a while, so we turned the feature off altogether. Hope it helps.

No. I tested it by popping the GFI (Circuit Breaker) and it resets to "OFF". I also unplugged it, while it was running and then plugged it in again and it had reset to "OFF". Hope this helps.

yes it keeps the last one that was selected when power is turned off then turned back on

I haven't used the phone during an outage but an examination of the manual impllies that you get nothing but the ability to dial and receive calls....such as in old phones. It must power from the phone line. I don't know what happens to stored information. I believe the phonebook numbers will be kept but I'm not sure about messages and greeting.Thanks for the reminder of the direct access numbers. I'll have to start memorizing them.

It's been quite awhile since I installed my timer and I don't remember now what number it was----but I know that it did take a back up battery. Are you sure your's does not? I've never seen one that didn't? But I suppose that it's possible that the newer models might use a system that won't dump your settings when the power goes off. I haven't researched your model number so I can't say one way or the other for certain.

It would seem so. It does retain its setpoints when turning it on and off from its front panel so maybe full power off will do the same.

No it will not call to inform you the power is restored or the temperature is back to normal. The monitor has to be manually reset after it sends an alert. The called person can acknowledge the alert, but the monitor will send a new alert one hour later. You can avoid the hourly alert by using the "disable" procedure but then having someone visit the location to correct the problem and reset the monitor. Hope this helps

i haven't had a power outage yet, however after programming and setting the clock, everything is retained despite unplugging the unit

Yes, it does. It has a battery backup (9v) to keep programmed numbers and the message stored during any power outage.
