does it stop working after electrical storm
593326
I have lost 2 televisions due to lightning strikes thru my cable service and one thru the power outlet. Since then I have taken the precaution of purchasing Uninterruptible Power Supplies for my TV's, VCR's, DVD players', game systems', PC's and my surround audio system, and quality surge protectors for everything else. But I have never had a problem with lightning passing between my devices and the televisions'. However, I have heard it can happen. If the jolt/surge is strong enough it will fry the wiring. Unless you know for sure this has happened to your cable it should be fine but know that wires and cables will go bad over time because they age. If you cannot get a signal between your components, try using another cable. If this cures the problem, then you know that the cable is bad and you should toss it away. I hope this helps.

No it should not you may have bigger problems check to see if you have power or your surge protector is tripped

Not that I know of. I've only had the cable for a week but it has been working great.

I have often left it out in the rain even plugged in. My handy outdoor extension chord threw its kill switch every time. I push the reset switch it and it starts right up.

Yes, there is no on or off switch. As long as the circuit breaker is on, it should restart after power is restored.

M.D., contact the company or ask an electrician. I leave my batteries in...so they can charge if the electric goes off...I live in Florida, we have lots of electrical storms.

i have black out before but the power came back without any action. so there's another question does work during the black out? if the protection circuits didn't disable the power during the surge. it will work as normal. i guess i gotta wait until lighting hit my house to find out.

I use it in the garage with our freezer and we set it on top of the freezer. I purchased this to provide an audible warning, but that doesn't work. Whenever we have lightening during a storm it blows the circuit. The freezer has already gone off twice and neither time did the warning sound.

I spent a long time with tech help also. The key to make it work was to make sure it was p I positioned near a window and to give it 24 hours to kick in. Sometimes it goes off during a storm, but then it reboots itself . We have had one for about three years and it works well.

It will not work when the power goes out. But the on/off is a switch and it remains in the in position, so u won't have to go back in the room

You can reset it after power went out by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Or trip the breaker on the circuit it uses and reset it.

Apologies, I miss understood the question. I thought you wanted the system to continue to operate during a power outage.

Hi Carol: I would say that you would have to turn the heater back on but I'm not sure because I have not been in a power outage since I have owned it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It is an emergency light. Plug it in and leave it there, in the event of a power failure it will come on and light your way. Great for when a storm knocks the power out at night. It can also be used as a flashlight.

If there is a power-outage, Yes. If you trip a circuit breaker/blow a fuse, no. If the plug's circuit breaker has been tripped then you'll need to reset the plug manually, like any other circuit breaker.

it works like a circuit breaker. when overloaded it switches off. After that, then switch it back on.

It will not trip just because power goes off and on.If it trips because of a ground fault or because you test it, the gfci will not reset automatically. You must push the reset button.

Yes. The manual calls it "intelligent power off" and it apparently happens after 30 minutes even if you're using it.

The unit CANNOT be operated during a power outage..it has an electronic ignation which needs the power to function. As for having to manually reset the unit after an outage, we have never had to do any reset on the already input settings dispite many outages due to heavy snow... Hope this helps...we have two (2) units and love them.....
