After unplugging it does it save the program that you set up on it? or do you need to set it up everytime?

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

Corey, I hard wired mine. I remember reading somewhere they Do Not have a memory. So it will default back to original pattern when power is lost or disconnected. I just leave mine on original setting back and forth pattern.

No it does not save the setting so every time I unplug the unit I have to thumb thru the settings to get to the one I had set prior to unplugging it

Every time. There is only 3 patterns for it. 5 times flash left then right or 5 times flash all or 1 flash left then right. Bright at night ok during day

It will remain in what ever setting at the time you turn it off. For long idle times, you want it to be in the open/wild mode. If you leave it in the closed mode, it will drain your battery.

At least with our set up, if the cable box is turned off, so is the internet connection. Also, when you virtually unplug the cable box it needs to reset itself and take about 5 minutes to reload all the program/channel information. With this power cord "off" is more than off, it's virtually unplugged.

Hi. I don't think so. But then again I always turn it off by habit as soon as I am done, I unplug it. But if you check the description of the product it should tell you if it has that feature. In any case, it was a great price and a great buy for me, I am still using it and loving it. :)

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.

As far as I know...........indefinitely. I have unplugged it several times and moved it around the house to find the "sweet spot" and I have never had to re program it. I believe the ram is non-volatile memory. It retains what's in it until it is overwritten. Do yopurself a favor and set it up using the You Tube video that is available. It's much easier that teh manual.

If unplug you need to reset it .. If turned off when you turn it back on it stays at old setting

you'll need internet access the first time you activate your program, but once that is done you'll be able to use the installed program offline.

All depends on your setting. If you set it to do continuous backup, t will back up everytime there is a change. You can set thethe programm to back up every time you shut down the computer or once a day at a specific time.

I don't believe it does, but am not positive. I always unplug mine when done. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I have done it once. First try unplugging it and disconnecting it for 10-20 seconds. This might help you not have to reset it.

You got it! Can't turn the @#$% thing off once it is connected. Have to shutdown the computer and then unplug it. I plug it in and do a weekly backup, then shutdown and unplug it. A pain, I'd rather just reboot before my backup then eject the thing.

Assuming that you mean (it's not clear from the sentence above) that it doesn't turn off after you do the scheduling to set it up for recording, I find that sometimes with this unit, I hit the power button to turn it off, and sometimes it won't turn off, so I just hit it again and then it does. I would also suggest that after you are done scheduling, you back out of the menu or just hit "Live" to get back to the current DTV channel. It should power down after that, assuming you are not scheduling a program that is set to start during the time you are programing the unit, but I assume that's not what is happening. The recorder does have to be "off" to record a scheduled show, just like a VCR.

I have had many power failures but I never had to re-program this unit. I am not sure how it does but does remember settings. Please note the Power failures we have seen here only lasted a few hours maximum. I have to reset all radio-clocks that is how I notice power failures...

I believe I have had that situation in the form of unplugging the device for a minute while on. As I remember, it did not reset to "off." Sorry I can't be more specific. If I remember, I'll try it at home tonight.

You simply press the plastic cover to manually control the device. After a change in state, the program simply resumes. If the switch is on it remains on until the program switches to an off state.

The settings are stored in non-volatile memory. In other words, long term memory like a flash drive. I've had it unplugged for several months and it retains the set points.
