I've used and liked this product since i purchased it about two years ago. The first time I had to replace batteries, all went well, though I had to reset the unit to get it to work. The second battery change hasn't gone so well. I can't get it to turn on, in spite of using the reset procedure. Does anyone have any suggestions of this situation?

According to the very small users instructions that came with the password vault, your data is stored in flash memory and nothing is lost during a battery change. I would take that to mean the same is true if the battery dies and isn't replaced right away.

No. Messages already recorded are not lost, but the unit won't work if the power fails.

Not that I noticed. Batteries just died on me and I saw nothing. Had to track down the key.

Which one of the two information always reset to zero for period of non-use? I hope only the top info. The lower accumulation meter should stay until the life of the battery. Was this the case?

No. I tried the same thing. But there is circuitry to prevent overcharging which would damage your batteries that is missing in the circuit.

No. If you remove the batteries you will lose all of your settings. Just walk, and each day it resets itself at 12:01 AM, and everyday automatically. But READ your booklet it will give you all of the details that you need.

Please give us more information. What happens when you insert new batteries and switch on?

I would call the company of the device in which you are replacing the batteries. I would not mess around without checking first because you could destroy the device. You might want to call a place like Batteries Plus in case they could guide you. Good luck.

I haven't used the phone during an outage but an examination of the manual impllies that you get nothing but the ability to dial and receive calls....such as in old phones. It must power from the phone line. I don't know what happens to stored information. I believe the phonebook numbers will be kept but I'm not sure about messages and greeting.Thanks for the reminder of the direct access numbers. I'll have to start memorizing them.

I believe if the batteries are dead or missing, the thermostat won't work and the heater will not come on. It makes sense but I never tested it.

In order to answer this question, I just unplugged my phone. I did not lose any information. I do not have batteries in mine. It must have something to do with the phone line itself

I'm not sure. I kept them just in case new batteries would work but haven't actually put in new batteries.

Yes, the frequencies stored are not lost if the unit is unplugged or the batteries are removed or become depleted.

I case your batteries die in the lock. It is an external backup for you to open the door to change the batteries in the lock.

If it is totally dead it may not work. For dead batteries a manual charger works better.

It can be depending on how you use it. Personally, when I'm done using it I remove the batteries and put the device and the batteries in a little sack. But if you tend to use a setting where you want to keep the values you set, then you'll want to keep the batteries in and make sure you have extra batteries with you in case they die (each time you replace the batteries, you'll have to reset the values).
