What happens if the power fails (even briefly) while I'm gone during the day?

That has never happened to me, so I can't answer specifically. However, if I unplug it, it must be reset again, so I assume the same would be true of a power failure.

The crock will reset. It will not continue to cook until you start it again. Try unplugging it and plugging it back in. You will see that there is no memory function if power is lost.

This is an interesting question, so I tested my crock pot to answer it. I plugged it in, set a cook time and speed, (low), then cut the power to the outlet it was plugged in to. I waited about 15 seconds before restoring the power. The crock pot turned back on with the power but set itself back to the original default setting so, the answer is that it will not continue to cook if there is a power failure.

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

Yes, you can. It's not safe unless you have it plugged into a UPS though, keep that in mind. If power cuts or dips you'll have to start over.

I don't think so. It will reset itself during a power failure (or being unplugged) back to the state it was in when it lost power.

Hi Christa! Yes, with a power outage this would go out, because it is plugged into the wall. I, personally, keep it plugged in to a socket that has its own switch to turn it on off. I always keep it on, so if the power goes out (as it has in my house), when the power comes back on, as long as it is still plugged back in, it comes right back on by itself! Hope that answers your question! :)

Below is what the tech specs say about loss of power. There is no replaceable battery that I see. I suspect it the local time is saved via a capacitor type back up and the other settings are stored permananetly any time you set them. I have only reset mine once and that was because I wanted the light to come on later because of holiday deco's on the porch. Power outage: The screen is blank. Only the time must be set if the outage lasts more than 4 hours; all other settings and programs are permanently saved.

if there is a power outage or internet connection loss, you will be notified. However, the system will be rendered more or less useless unless you connect it to a UPS.

skully, I have owned mine since February and I have frequent power outages. I have not once had to touch it when the power comes back on. It's pinned at 70*

Yes. If the power goes off, the phone would still be powered by the by the phone line. What most people don't know is there's actually power on the phone line. As long as your phone line works, the phone will work

Yes. When power is restored after brief interruption, lights go on in same mode as before interruption. I do not know if this is different if power is off for a long time.

If you're having so many regular power failures you should have backup power anyway since that kind of thing is really, really bad for your system. At some point you're absolutely going to lose data or your system will become unstable. - Trust me, I work in IT.

Power failure is not problem, unit will work when power restored without re-programimg

I plugged it into an outlet that is controlled by a switch. It came back on automatically when I switched it on and off. I'm guessing that means that it will also turn on automatically after a power failure.

not sure, but i would take the battery out and leave it out for a day,then maybe it will reset.

Not that I know of. You can buy a power failure light that only comes on in the event of a power failure. I like these because they are a night light that you don't have to touch, but also a flashlight in case of power failure.

Not that I'm aware of, I just had a power outage yesterday and the unit remained off

Sorry, I can't Answer. I don't believe we have lost power since this has been installed. I know that it works consistently and comes on at the same time unless we reset the time.
