if the power goes out for some considerable time will i have to set it up again or will it continue to work?

You will have to turn the dial to reset the current time as it is electric and plugged in. But this is easy.

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.

if the power goes out it will alarm until either, the power is restored, you turn it off, its battery dies. This is a great alarm and I highly recommend it.

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.

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.

If it see any trouble it will kill all power. Love mine! I'm sure it has saved me money from bad power.

It will be pass power thru as long as its switched on. If that's what your asking.

I can confirm that no, it would not come back on after a loss of power. You would need to manually hit the "power" button to make it turn back on.

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.

It probably won't since it doesn't draw so much power, but I really don't know since I just plug in and out.

If the power goes out it would stop working yes. It has a switch on the side of it so if you left it alone as soon as the power comes back on so will the camera. Hope this helps!

if it's set at on when the power goes out, it will automatically come back on when the power is restored

Hi Christa! Yes, with a power outage this would go out, because it is plugged into the wall. I, personally, keep it plugged in to a socket that has its own switch to turn it on off. I always keep it on, so if the power goes out (as it has in my house), when the power comes back on, as long as it is still plugged back in, it comes right back on by itself! Hope that answers your question! :)

As with any mechanical timer, the real time (clock) has to be reset after a power outage. Once that is done, all of the ON and OFF settings will be as they were before the outage.

No reason why not, Except! If the power goes out this switch will reset to the off position when power comes back on so you will have to turn your switch on again. If all you are using are surge protectors, no problem. If the are battery back up's then this would definitely cause your systems to crash if you were no there to turn the switch back on.

It sure will. When power is restored back to the unit after losing battery power it will let you know that power has been reestablished. Thanks for asking!

I believe the button will need to be manually pressed as the power does not come on to the unit just by plugging it in. If you have frequent outages, have you considered using a UPS (universal power supply) to connect it, which can keep it running during short outages... In which case if the power comes back on shortly thereafter you won't need to manually restart since it won't have quit in the first place?
