Is there a delay when the power goes out before the calls go out, in the event the power comes back on right away?

Correction to my earlier answer. the reliance web page says: *Selectable 5 or 30 minute initial call-out delay. apologies for the confusion.

There is a delay, I can't say how many minutes. We have lost electric power because of lighting storms and the power came back on in less than a minute and got no call.
1295148
Yes. There is a switch that allows the choice of a 5 minute delay or a 30 minute delay after which the calls are initiated.
1295149
Yes, The install manual states the following.Set "Call Delay Time" switch on top of control panel housing for the desired delay time the monitoring system is to wait before making the first outgoing telephone call to indicate an alarm condition. Choose either 5 or 30 minutes.

Yes. There is a 5 minute delay. There maybe a switch to increase this, but I have not looked at the unit in a while.
1295151
Yes, the power has to be off for 5 minutes before an alarm condition call goes out.

No, the power switch is a dial, so it would be on the same setting when the power comes back on.

There is a delay when the siren sounds and the call is made. I do not know if that's the question?

no, because it requires a wifi signal. If you want something when the power goes out, I would recomend a mifi from your wireless company.

That will work. What you need is a device to give you a few minutes delay after power comes back on after a blackout. This works fine for me.

I can't imagine it would be a problem. There aren't any pre-sets, for example, that could get lost with a power interruption.

YES. I have unplugged the base unit several times as I put my new office desk in order. The backup power from the handset is limited by the rather small AAA batteries, so I don't expect it to last very long. In my experience, the majority of power outages or brown-outs are very brief (i.e. less than 2-3 seconds) and anything longer is probably going to be hours, not minutes. I think this is a thoughtful feature and it's showing up in more and more ordinary devices that aren't much fun to re-program. It works unless the handset isn't in place during the outage, but even then, I didn't lose any programming (addressbook, speed dialing, and cell phone pairing). YES.

Is there a delay so that the alarm doesn't sound right away. Scenario: I'm leaving the house and want to turn on alarm; when I turn on the switch, does i make noise right away?

Yes, the timers have a battery backup to retain your settings in the event of a power failure. The battery is charger when you plug the unit into an outlet. Let it charge for at least 10 minutes before unplugging. I'm not sure how long the unit will keep the settings stored during a power outage, but I have experienced a outage of about 2 hours and mine retained its settings. Hope this helps.

I have not experienced a power outage since purchasing the phone. However I did program the phone with approximately 20 names and phone numbers. I then unplugged and repacked the the phone in the original box. It remained there for 2 weeks. When I arrived at my father's I opened the box, installed the phones and all the names and phone numbers were as I installed them 2 weeks previous. Because we had call display the time/date sets automatically. Hope this helps.

Yes. I have several amps connected to the Belkin, and they delayed in a staggered fashion so as not to turn on all at once.

Sort of. If you ignore the call the unit will stop the call and reset and wait for the next motion to set it off.

Our power went out for an hour last week. The timer did not have to be reset after the power came back on. Also, I found it easier to program the timer if I plug it into an extension cord to program it, and you can disconnect it to plug it in directly to the power receptacle on the wall without losing the programming (if it is fully charged).

Not that I know of, this unit needs a trigger then it transfers power at a predetermined time setting. Look for a delay timer.

No. It is set up to go on and off at pre-programmed times. There is another product that shuts off power after a fixed time.

You do not have to turn the power off before the scheduled program time comes. The machine will tell you it's going to change channels a few minutes before the recording starts. Also there is a M-F record setting and also a M-Saturday setting for record.

the phone will work when the power goes out provided that your phone company service is still on. the phone gets it power from the phone company unlike a portable unit that has a base that plugs into a wall outlet.
