does unit save programming and hold clock time after power outage?

The timing when light go on & off is with plugs so no need to reset: however you need to reset the time/Harlen IT IS A GREAT TIMER

My unit loses all settings with power failures and need to be reset in all respects.

yes power outage wipes all settings and you annoyingly have to reset it. I have mine light on, timer off so the off time gets messed up. Just reset mine today when I noticed it was staying on all night

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

I have this hooked up to a server and when the power goes out, this unit doesn't. There is no time lost (so far).

I had the same question, after installing the unit i turned off all power for 5 minutes then back on. Nothing changed, it did not lose its program when i did this. I hope this helps you. With all thing electric if there is no power nothing will work. My remote did not change nor did the push button. I did not install a key pad so i cant answer that part of the question.

Plug it in for an hour. You should see the time display return to the screen. You can then reprogram or it may still have the on/off time in memory.

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.

Hi Steve. No, there is no programming available on this unit. I was going to suggest an appliance timer but I think that after the power to the unit was disconnected it would not come on by default when the timer restored power. Hope this helps

Hi Rosalyn, To keep accurate time, this unit contains a CR2032 battery inside of the unit as a backup power source. The battery keeps the clock operating in the event of a power interruption. Which means that it will not run for a long time if the unit uses battery alone. -Ely

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

No, it does not. When the power does out, it turns off. When it comes back on, it goes to the setup you programed. If the power is out for a long time (not sure how long) it will reset the time and not record unless you have it programed to record always.

I checked with the company, and they told me once programmed, it would last in memory for a half hour, that worked as I brought it to a relative. Had to remember to program with different area codes!

YES and suggest a GFI circuit. Remember to reset the "clock portion" if you have power outages.

This timer has a built-in battery. It will retain it's settings after a power outage.

Yes, the timers have a battery backup to retain your settings in the event of a power failure. The battery is charger when you plug the unit into an outlet. Let it charge for at least 10 minutes before unplugging. I'm not sure how long the unit will keep the settings stored during a power outage, but I have experienced a outage of about 2 hours and mine retained its settings. Hope this helps.

Apparently from the other answers it looses correct time after a while (4 hours?), but keeps the settings (probably a small flash mem chip on board).My feeling is that it would just be one more clock to reset after a power outtage....Coffee Maker, Microwave, Oven, Bedside Alarm Clocks,Clock Radios, Etc.So it does not concern me.All I have to do is remember! :-)

Yes, the clock and all other settings (i.e., zone watering times) are retained during a power failure. No battery is needed, everything is stored in non-volatile memory:Quoting from the RainBird SST user manual:◾No need to reprogram after a power outage. All timer settings are stored indefinitely in memory. No backup battery needed!

No... it will remember the alarm settings, but you have to reset the clock time if it loses power. Fortunately, that is easy to do.

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