With the battery back up, does that mean that if the electric should go out, the time will not go back to 12:00?

If you have a fresh battery in the unit and lose your electricity the correct time will be there when the electricity comes back on. Very nice Weather Alert. In the middle of the country we used ours several times this past summer to keep us safe. Thumbs up on this unit.

No, it does not. When the power does out, it turns off. When it comes back on, it goes to the setup you programed. If the power is out for a long time (not sure how long) it will reset the time and not record unless you have it programed to record always.

This timer needs power to operate when the power is off it does not continue to keep time. The current time will need to be adjusted once the power comes back on.

Quite honestly, I set the clock ias in the instructions and c a couple of days it needs setting again. i guess it needs seting in advance of ther outing you qare baout to take and i am not sure itr would even last for that. i do like the battery backup in spite of the clock so I will deal with it but they could fix it if they wanted to.

This radio does not have battery backup. If you have the radio set to get the time from the internet and you have wifi signal (or you are using Ethernet) the radio will automatically keep the time. If you unplug the radio or the electricity goes off, the radio will have to reset the time, date and so on. The radio will reboot and do it's setup thing when the power comes back on.

According to the manual, when the power comes back on, the clock will read "OFF" (as if one just plugged it in) and does not restart.

Yes your battery will go down, I put in a toggle switch , to control everything I went from the heater to the switch to the battery, that way I was a 100 percent it's off.

Just reset the timer to the current time, because the timer works from the electricity.

Once the time is set it will go off and come back on for the time you have set , if the iron is in the protector during the time it goes off you have no worries

I don't see why not, set it for turning off at 11:59 then Turn back on at 12:00

Murphys law it happens in the middle of the night. If you always change the battery when the clocks get changed for daylights savings time this won't catch you off guard. If it's a few years old and keeps going off it may need a replacement.

Yes. I know that if you have avower failure and the time is screwed up it shuts down after 1 hour. If you have the time set it's longer, but it does shut off automatically.

the battery is for backup only..... in case electricity goes out. You still need to wire it.

The theory is that it is a power outage backup. The problem is that it goes dead even though it is supposedly not being used. Without the battery you get warnings.

Yes! The hours do remain lit when the OPEN is turned off. The hours remain on so long as it is plugged into an outlet. It's a great sign! I love the colors, pretty easy to set up as well.

You probably should contact PumpAlarm.com as they have excellent customer service. That being said, I will give you my opinion. I would assume that even if the back-up batteries die, which they will over about 2 days (I know this), that when the power does come back on, the unit will re-activate and tell you that the power has come on at a specific time. What you lose if the back-up batteries die, is getting a message about the water level, or whatever it is you are trying to monitor, if there is a problem during the power outage. I believe that when the power comes back on, and IF there was an issue with water where it should not be (or whatever) you would then get a message about that issue.

If the light was on when the power went out it will come back on. It will not turn on if the light was off when the power went out.
