Does the unit have a "memory" if it looses power or must it be reprogrammed each time?

Yes,All settings can be saved automatically. Setting contents would not lost when power supply drop.

It does have a memory The way, power on and off is the way I use it. Check out the first 6 function settings I use #3

Yes, in fact one of the way you can start a timer sequence is by powering it on.

The device remembers the station, so you don't have to reset it every time.As for setting the station without losing the power connection, it was pretty easy for me when I set the station and I never lost power connections. Hope this helps.

I do not recall if we've tried that.. but would guess it does since it needs to keep a lot of config stuff saved - particularly if you get the WIFI dongle thingie..Actually, now that I think about it, I think we've had some power failures since we installed ours and I don't recall having to do anything after the power came back.. Perhaps someone else can chime in too to ensure I'm not wrong..

The unit has a compartment for two button type batteries (supplied with the unit) that back up the memory if the power goes out. So the answer is: yes.

I do not know. My assumption would be that you'd have to reprogram if you removed the batteries. There are undoubtedly chip-based remotes out there that have sustained memories, but at this price point I rather doubt this one does.

No Problem - there is a battery backup. Have never had o reprogram since we first set it up.

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

even thou it is possible i have never expierenced this i have moved it from room to room with no loss of programing. also had power outages with no loss to programing hope this helps you. it is a very very good unit

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...

It must have some sought of memory chip, I never had to reset after power outage

Sorry, I really can't say for sure. Don't have "possession" of this anymore, but as I recall, I think it only has the single set of outputs without a "switch", so therefore it is always "on" -- again, as I recall.

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.

It depends on how strong your batteries are and how long you're away. I imagine the batteries will last several months if the unit is turned off, but I've not experimented with that. When I leave my cabin I just take it with me -- it's handy to pack and I like having it in both homes. By coincidence I use the same weather channel in both my homes, so no reprogramming is required when I go from one to the other. If you'd rather leave it in the cabin and the batteries die, it's not very hard to reprogram; maybe write down the channel you use so you don't forget while you're gone. Be sure you turn off the weather function -- that will drain your batteries even if there aren't any weather alerts.

If memory serves, I believe it does as long as you do not disconnect power; if using the battery, just hit "Stop", and it will when restarted.

Yes, mine has been running for a year or two now with several power outages; restarts automatically.

Sorry, Auntie M. It's only set up as a battery-operated unit. The batteries seem to last a long time (I haven't needed to replace mine yet); however, that's the main fault I find with this unit -- when you DO have to replace the batteries, it removes all of your settings so that you have to reprogram it.

There is no battery backup, however the programming is retained when there is a power outage and when the unit is disconnected.
