How does the Intelli-Time work? Do you ever have to set the time after a power outage, or does it automatically set?

So far we haven't had to reset the time. The unit is generally charged up so this isn't a problem.

We haven't lost power since I received this as a gift. But at daylight savings time it automatically changes. Hope this helps.

As long as the back up battery is good, it's automatic. It even changes for DST by itself.

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

The current time is set by spinning the dial and matching the labeled time on the outside dial with the inner marking for current time. You tell it when you want it on and off by pulling the tabs out (to tell it you want the outlets off) and pushing them in (to tell it you want the outlets on). The toggle switch goes between always on and timer mode - the clock is for the timer. I had to use my fingernail to make my timed settings and still had to move the dial around to get all of the timer settings. I then set the current time after that.

You can program the camera to operate as per your time schedule. The camera system time will be automatically updated with the international time server. When power loss , the time will lost . When power on the camera and connected to internet , the camera will automatically update its time with the international time server.

No. You need to manually change and/or set with changes at months' end, time change or loss of power.

It's possible because I have never had to set the times on the power saver after a power outage

You need to set to the proper time zone. For example, if you're in California, set it to -7. If is not set correctly it will reset itself to whatever time zone you have.

I believe the concept of "reset" after a power outage means just turning the dial to align with the current time -- just as you would do with any electro-mechanical timer. You may need to do this at a time of day when none of the little slider switches has the timer in the on position, which is likely explained in the product literature.

We use our time clock in a mobile capacity and it is without power for 2 to 3 hours both directions on a routine basis with no problem. When our generator was giving us trouble the time clock set disconnected from power for 2 or more days while our work trailer was undergoing repair with no issues. I can't speak about resetting it because in the years I have had it, I have never needed to do it. I have never been sorry that I purchased this time clock.

You would have to activate the timer first for the timer to be on. (The little clock face on the lower left corner.) When the timer is activated the red power light would flash. Sounds like something is wrong with your unit though.

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...

Yes, you set the time and it shuts off what the time has been set at the control gives options!

I agree with Stephen's answer. You set the off time separate from the on time. So, you would set the on time first (12:00am) then the off time at 11:59pm and make sure it's set for all days of the week. Should work just fine.

You have to preset times you want something to turn on or off.Won't turn on automatically in 24 hours if someone shuts off.

It is true that this timer needs to be "reset" after a power outage. The reason is because it is hardwired to your electricity. But resetting is fairly simple and even if you can't get to it when you'd like, once the power comes on it will begin to cycle again from where it left off.

I don't have mine set to Automatic clock time. I set the time zone and then I set the time. I automatically adjust with the time changes so I don't have to set that again. I've never had luck with the automatic clock time on any unit I've ever used. It always seems to not take time zones into consideration.

Use the menu to set the date & time. As with all electronic devices it's weird. Trial & error is the way to go.
