if the batteries are week when the omron machine is connected to the power will the machine work or it will not work

I am not sure but I will say that on most devises when you are directly connect to the wall power it overrides the batteries. If you do not have rechargeable batteries you should be changing them every six month to ensure the unit has full power. Good idea to change the batteries with the changing of the EST to EDT.

Battery is for the clock to keep accurate time in the event of a power failure. The program will remain even if the battery dies.

The battery keeps the time continuously. When the power fails, it shows the time, but of course, the switch doesn't work. When power returns, the schedule resumes without having to reprogram the switch.

No it will not work of any batteries, I have it hooked up to my car and if I live it in with out the engine running it kills the battery in less then 20 min

Yes, so long as the power stays on it retains its clock and timer settings.The batteries are only to preserve settings in case of a power outage.

Generally yes but it depends on the quality of the output of the generator. The UPS will sense the frequency and voltage of the generator's output. If the output of the generator falls outside the allowable parameters, the UPS will kick in a take over the load. If that happens too often, the UPS's batteries will be depleted and the UPS will shut down until they are recharged.

The unit is powered by using the AC power supply, and it can also be powered using 3 AA batteries, you should use both together, in a power outage it will switch to using the batteries. Also the frequencies are stored in EEPROM non volatile memory, which means that it will stay in memory even when there is no power. Thank you.

I have operated it for a week or two continuously in a hotel room with no problems, if you were outside I assume you would be running from a generator. If so just turn the power off. The box is well insulated so I doubt you would have a problem

EXTREMELY unreliable and consider replacing it when it quits running... it will quit running long before the batteries are dead. You can keep messing with it, take out the batteries, switch them around, etc and it will run for another week, then it will quit again and you have to go through a lot of monkeying with it to get it to work. NO, THE BATTERIES ARE NOT DEAD. it just has a terrible connection problem because of the moisture (even though batteries are supposedly sealed from the water/vapor)

The battery is for back-up reserve only, in case of power failure. The system operates with reduced function on battery power only, and is not recommended by the manufacturer.

It is working if it's connected to power but at some point the battery dies so gets really slow and stops so you have to wait again to power up. I strongly recommend you don't buy this.

Mine were the ones that did not work only after a few months. I cannot answer your question. However if they are not being used the batteries should not be draining to the point that when you need them in a real live EMERGENCY they don't work! You don't have the luxury of stopping to switch out the batteries. My units are being replaced, but if this happens again I will certainly be calling Wagan again! These are new on the market and in my opinion maybe they shouldn't have been launched until ALL of the bugs were worked out. Not let consumers be the guinea pigs!

Just did a test on this radio and it seems that the batteries will function when the wall wart is unplugged. Good luck.

If the charging base is close and the robot can see it with the RF Sensor, it'll go back to the charging station. However, if the robot is working in another room, it'll just work until it runs out of power.

No, check position of batteries first, if it does not run, it is probably the inner workings. Return it.

I know my response my hurt lovers of OMRON. MY unit stopped working within two weeks. Sent at my own cost to their repair facility in the USA, they sent it repaired back to me at without any charge of shippiing cost. We put in a new set of batteries and the unit lit up nicely but it failed to display the readings. Sorry, I got angry, straight away tossed the unit into my basement where it is still sitting without ever being touched. I did my research and bough another, this time from Panasonic well reviewed by Consumer Report. It is made in Japan. Beautiful unit, by the way it performs, I am confident it will be with us for a long time. Very dependable unit. Remy Salema I know my response my hurt lovers of OMRON.

This machine requires a 6V adapter. Sounds like the adapter you are using may be the wrong polarity (center contact POSITIVE, outer contact NEGATIVE) or the excessive voltage may have damaged some of the electronic components. Will it still work on battery power?
