does the clock loose time if not connected to power all the time?

The detector has a GPS that when turned on synchs with the satellites and gives the correct time.
806732
No of course not. Its off when I'm parked so that wouldn't work at all. Now that you ask the question though, I never set the time even once. It must get it from the gps signal? Great unit, I love mine.

It is triggered by GPS technology which controls the accuracy each time it is reconnected.

No. The clock is auto sync with the satellites. The time should be correct every time you turn it on once the detector syncs up.

There are two ways this could happen. One is if the power goes out. Then you will need to reset the timer to the correct time. The second is if the timer stops are loose or fall off. The best way to prevent this is to make sure the stops are tightened. I check mine every few weeks as I can, to make sure they haven't loosened over time. So far, no issues.

nope, it is just a simple analog clock. unplug it and the clock does not retain any memory. all in all though, this thing does a good job, we use the timer, 5am - 9am on 5pm - 9pm on, rest of time in off position.

Yes. But if the power is out your lights won't work anyway. When power comes back, however, thetimer will have continued keeping time. Hope this helps.

There is internal battery( non rechargeable) just to keep the clock going, but to control you need 12+ volts to be able to function. I guess the internal batt is replaceable.if it stays plugged to power source will go without the batt. It worked fine for me, not a bad purchase.

We need to, about 25% of the time, when power is disrupted. Most of the time, it resets without any troubles.

Yes every time it is powered off, you'll have to reset it all - from the clock, to the feedings.times/amounts.

You're having to reset the time because you are unplugging it from the constant power supply. It has no internal battery system, so if you want to keep the correct time you will have to keep the unit plugged into a constant power outlet.

Yes, there is a system setting for that. Press [SRC] to enter STANDBY.Press the volume knob to enter [FUNCTION].Turn the volume knob to make a selection then press the knob at: CLOCK DISPLAY-ON: The clock time is shown on the display even when the unit is turned off.-OFF: No clock display when unit is off

i haven't had a power outage yet, however after programming and setting the clock, everything is retained despite unplugging the unit

It never over clocks on its own, has not been over clocked intentionally. Has worked perfectly since I bought it.

No... it will remember the alarm settings, but you have to reset the clock time if it loses power. Fortunately, that is easy to do.
1178516
Yes it does. You set it easily with the buttons - It does not seem to keep the time and date for any length of time if it does not have constant power.

Nope, you just need to hold down the "clock" button for a few seconds. Hope that helps

Yes I just now tested this by deliberately allowing the battery to run down low enough to cause an automatic power down of the player. When I plugged it back in to charge it back up, I found that the clock hadn't lost its time, and the radio stations were still stored. Clearly the player shuts down with enough power to maintain the settings when the battery gets critically low.

Yeah, it actually goes into standby mode after 5 minutes of inactivity. But the the clock never goes off.

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.
