in a power shortage, if I have batteries installed in the baby unit, will it continue to work?

Yes, both the base and unit. The unit has recharchable batteries that come with the monitor and you choose which type of batteries to use for the base. I have unplugged the base when my LO is in a different room than normal and I want to check on her. Works great!

Yes, it should. The parent unit Sits on the charger at night, so theoretically, it should go through the night. I've had mine off the charger for up to six hours and still had over half a charge. And when it didn't have batteries, the parent unit alerts you that the other one is out, so your covered all the way around. I had the Motorola video monitor before this for two years, it cost more than this one and I like it MUCH better. I'd take this over the video monitor any day. Sorry for the super long answer. Hope it's helpful.

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.

I doubt it, I have found that mine wont even maintain a charge.Ifthe battery is even a little weak it wont bring it back. They need more output.

I just pulled up on it but don't do this with the unit plugged in. That is how it shorted out for me. Good luck.

The unit that stays with baby does not take batteries. It can only work by being plugged into an outlet. The other unit that goes with the parent can take batteries.

No. Just make sure that you unplug after a few hours otherwise it could damage the battery

According to the documentation, the unit will remain OFF after a power failure. I believe this is a safety precaution.

As Long as you got a battery bank , I say give it a shot, because the inverter will trip if it cant manage the load and all you have to do is re-set

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.

Yes, no problem. Recommended so you don't run out. I keep it plugged in when using.

Battery packs must be installed into each parent unit. The batteries are charged only when in the parent unit. Once charged the parent unit can be disconnected from the power supply for about eight hours before they will need to be recharged (the instructions with the units will specify how much time to expect). This allows users to move about with the parent unit while it monitors the baby unit (e.g. move to another room to complete a task).

I think it will work plugged and if power the takes over. You would have to be sure the batteries are good if you use it with just the batteries. We have not really used in this capacity yet.

The baby unit that goes in the baby's room is plug in only. The parent units are both plug in and battery. The parent units include batteries which are rechargeable. I hope this helps.

No - does not work that. Also batteries will die fast if unit is left on continuously.

If the internal battery is drained then unit will not work correctly until the internal battery has some charge. I have tried to plug the unit in to the usb charger after the battery drained but then had to wait some time for the battery to charge before it would work right. I suppose as long as you keep it plugged in to a usb charger all the time then the battery will stay charged and so should work.

I really don't know. I plugged in at the office to hear the books I purchased, and will use batteries if necessary when there is a power outage to keep abreast of things.

I know if you leave it plugged in all the time it can end up ruining the battery. But if that is not the case then I would contact the manufacturer.
