Memory Preservation
This
unit
does
not
require
memory
preservation
batteries.
A
built-in
memory
power
back-up
system
preserves
the
contents
of
the
memory
during
power
failures
and
even
when
the
unit
is
unplugged.
The
unit
must
be
plugged
in
and
the
power
switch
turned
on
and
off
once
in
order
to
charge
the
back-up
system.
Note
that
since
this
is
not
a
permanent
memory,
the
power
switch
must
be
turned
on
and
off
a
few
times
each
month
to
keep
the
back-up
system
operative.
The memory preservation period after power has been turned
off varies depending on climate and placement of the unit. On
the
average,
memory
contents
are
protected
over
a
period
of
a
few weeks after the last time power has been turned off. This
period
is
shorter
when
the
unit
is
exposed
to
a
highly
humid
climate.
