Will this phone remember settings such as # of rings etc after a power failure?

Not as far as I know. The answering function has never worked properly. Does it work for you?

I think so, my power has not failed in sooooooooooooooo long I can't remember. I do remember it rang during the power failure but the Caller ID doesn't show up during the power failure and you can check any messages left on your phone. But you have program the phone before and after the power failure i.e date and year.

Yes it does "remember" most settings. After a power failure, all settings remain except the date and time.

I don't think so as it has no battery back-up. I gave this phone away - hated it! Bought the Vtech Digital with answering system and like it a lot. It also came with a hand held unit that is very nice. Amazon has it

Sonja,I can't recall if this phone remembers your settings in the event of a power failure and you lose your land line phone. That very rarely happens where I live. However, if you do lose your land line after a power failure, press the Directory ("DIR") button and scroll through the settings to see if it retained our original settings. If not, just reset them.

Yes, your phone will go down if you lose power. Get a backup power supply so that your router can continue to work for long enough to call 911. Or keep your cell phone charged and use it.

Yes. There are dashes between area code, exchange and the last four numbers. Only negative is that it is not battery backup. So, if there is a power failure, all call history is lost. Otherwise, it is worth the price.

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...

No battery that I know of, but it does retain settings in the event of a power outage.

This model will not have an issue with power failures. Once you have the dial set . It will turn back on and keep running. The models wiith power buttons would not work

Yes, so long as the power stays on it retains its clock and timer settings. The batteries are only to preserve settings in case of a power outage.

I think the default setting is reverted to, as indicated in the owners manual. Haven't been around during a failure and re-power to tell for sure.

There is no on/off switch. If the phone plugs are removed, it simply saves the existing stored numbers (I think there's a battery inside) until reconnected.

Yes. There is an LED indicator on the base with a counter telling you how many missed calls you have. You retrieve calls with the handset.

No. Messages already recorded are not lost, but the unit won't work if the power fails.

Really, how do you expect the device to "know" you forgot about what you were doing with it?

I lost my phone 60 days old. The phone will turn off suddenly. I could not turn it on again. Change the screen and nothing. These phones seem rebuilt.Be carefull. I lost my money.

It uses power from the phone line. It may have bubble memory, but I don't know.

Not that I can recall. I changed that phone right after I bought so I didn't have it very long

Hello Shaun, Yes the Receiver will remember your settings after a power outage. In fact the receiver has several memory settings for your configuration. I have no complaints about Pioneer SC 68. Thanks Gene

It will need to be reset every time you plug it in and turn it on. It does not have the capability to "save" settings.
