Do the settings reset every time the batteries are changed or removed? If so, is there any way to avoid this, besides using rechargeable batteries?

I just tested the recorder by removing the batteries for 2 minutes and the settings were not reset, so it would take a longer time without power than just changing the batteries for the settings to reset. I misplaced one for over 3 months and although the batteries lost their power and the settings eventually reset, my recordings were intact. Hope this helps.

When you put in the new batteries did you go to menu/support/new batteries? If not it might help it reset.

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.

Removing the battery will NOT RESET the sensor. That was my mistake, I did not know that, and I ordered a replacement sensor. You have to reset the sensor after a battery change by pressing a thin tool, like for example a pin into the small hole opening on the back.

Once it's set, you're good to go. I installed mine well over a year ago. After unplugging to go out on the lake, I just replug it in when I return and it "remembers" the setting. I haven't had to replace a battery in two years.

The batteries just run the light which has a high and low setting so it's going to depend on your use habits. I turned the light off when the party was over. Did not seem to be a problem!

I have not had that issue. The only time I need to reset the time is when I change the battery.

Hi Lorraine, To reset the system to factory settings Use buttons on the unit to reset the unit to its factory default settings. 1. Disconnect and reconnect the power cord, and then turn on the system. 2. Press [STOP], [CD] and [POWER] buttons at the same time. All user-configured settings, such as preset radio stations, timer, and the clock are deleted. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

I would say no but I am not sure it probably has to be reset turn it off and on when battery is charged

Haven't had this problem myself. Try taking the batteries out for a few mins then reinsert and see if that will reset the unit.

When I have used them, they have maintained the setting that they were on when I turned them off. This has included being disconnected, stored for a couple of days, and reconnected.

It has to be reset every time you use it. It counts down to zero from wherever you set it. If you set it for 20 minutes it shuts off after twenty minutes. It's a great little timer for the price! I have had mine for 3 years and they're still working perfectly. I take them inside for the winter.

I use mine about once a month and have not had to change the batteries yet. I have them in for the past 4 months. Great unit!!!!!

Yes. Soon as you hit start/stop it will reset. (I have not let it run to stop).. Still have to hit Start again. Hitting clear allows setting a new time.

Yes there is a battery that recharges itself and never needs to be replaced. I believe it will hold your settings for 30 days. It is a marvelous timer/switch and I highly reccomend it. Earl Tillman

I beleave if you hold down the power button for a few seconds it resets. Something like that. In settings there may be a sensitivity mode you can adjust. Read owners manual. If you don't have one google it .....I haven't used mine in years. Did enjoy it while I was using it though. But there is a way to rest it if that isnt it.

Don't reset it just turn it on manually by pushing the cover panel over the buttons. I am not sure which model you have but this works for me until the normal setting comes around and it changes it again automatically.
