Does the ST01 display show when the timer is on battery power?

Yes, it does. If I remember correctly I programmed it before installing it. And I just went to my circuit breaker and turned off the power completely to the switch but the display continued to display.

The battery keeps the time continuously. When the power fails, it shows the time, but of course, the switch doesn't work. When power returns, the schedule resumes without having to reprogram the switch.

Sorry, but it is connected to power and my power hasn't failed. As I said the customer service is A1 and you should ask them for details.

No, the countdown is powered. You might be able to use an RB5 relay, so when power is removed from the relay, power is supplied to the timer board.

Yes. The clock only is displayed while plugged in. Yet it keeps the current.

According to the APC spec sheet, the timer is battery-powered (it does not say what the battery type is).

Yes. You can also hold the power button while charging, and it will speak out the battery's status.

Hi Christopher: the time display is large and easily visible when the radio is off. When you are using the radio the time is in the lower left portion of the monitor and is pretty small. Hope this helps.

No, not completely. At least not that I'm aware of. When it's been idle for a little while, it goes into a standby mode where it displays BC 5.12 (the model number) and the current time.

It does display the time when not playing. I have not played with it enough to know if you can display it at other times.

No there is no display. However, when the unit goes off it returns to the previous setting when turned back on.

There is a battery indicator on the main screen when on. The light stays on when plugged in

Yes, the display stays lighted for several seconds and eventually reverts to 0.0 and then shuts off.

It doesn't turn off. But I'm pretty sure it's just using solar power to run the display when you aren't using it because the batteries never run out. I mean ever. I've had one of these for like 3 years and I haven't replaced the batteries.

Yes, a blue light on each side of the display. Since the unit does NOT have an ON/OFF switch, the battery life is a lot shorter than it should be. Use the data sheet that came with the unit AND the info imprinted on the back of the unit to interpret the setup instructions, which are among the worst I have ever seen.

The display will always remain on as long as there is a power source connected to the power and ground wires. If the voltage you are measuring is zero, the display will read " 0.0" and there is no auto-powerdown or sleep mode. It will only turn off when the power is removed.

LCD screens take such an infinitesimally small amount of battery current that it's not a factor in battery life at all. Mine is working fine, as opposed to the timers that a couple of other people here indicated.

No, there is an indicator but it won't tell the battery status. BTW, the battery is pretty strong and long lasting. it will be good match to Surface Pro 3.

There's nothing on the display when not in use. HOWEVER it does blink when turned on and measuring. Not that this is the black LCD readout panel. No blinky lights.
