What happens if the power goes out? So, I am guessing that if the power goes out and I am at work, my poor dog will just get shocked all day until I return home at 6 PM?

Same question I had. I found this on page 13 of their operating guide: The Wireless System is designed to recognize power outages and shuts down without activating the Receiver Collar. However, if your pet is near the Boundary Zone during the power failure, he may receive a Static Correction. To lessen this chance, you may consider a battery backup device for the Transmitter if your area experiences frequent power outages.

This phone will not work if the power goes out. Your best bet is have an old "Ma Bell" phone on hand in case of power outages. They draw their power directly from the phone lines so they will still work even if power is out. I hope this helps.

Probably not if you sleep with door closed. I also warn you that it's not that accurate and at time will. Just beep non stop after the animal has left the area. Be aware the item if broken can not be returned even if mechanical broken. They do not disclose that.

No, Once it's plugged in, it becomes an emergency light. If the power goes out, it will come on immediately. This is what I bought it for. If I'm asleep, and the power goes out, the light will wake me up. When in the emergency mode (plugged in) It will come on when you un-plug it. Then you can use it full power (as it will be when un-plugged) or 1/2 power, or shut it off with the switch. Un-plugged, it become a flash light with two brightness levels. VERY bright, VERY solid light, works GREAT, recomend and would deffinately buy again.

hey there...i started out pugging and unplugging every night. At this point have gotten lazy and just leave it plugged in all the time! I just press the LOCKED button while I'm away at work so dogs don't hit any buttons. If you have the LED lights turned OFF than technically you are not using any electricity by leaving it on. Hasn't been a problem at all for me. hope this helps

To add to J White's very useful comment: if you don't know the power went out (and for how long), you won't know right away that the sleep time has changed. This could, in certain circumstances, result in the Cat Genie starting a cycle just as you give the cat(s) a meal. In that case, it might not be done by the time it's needed.

Speaking as a retired Telco Tech, it depends on where the power comes from. Generally, if your power goes out, no your phone will not go out. However, so much of the phone system is electronic, so, if the battery backup runs out before the electricity is restored, such as in a major storm, your phone service will fail. That said, this type of phone is powered off the Telco power. The base phone should work.

Hi Christa, thank you for your interest in Levana. The camera would go out in a power outage, since the camera has a switch that slides to the on and off position it will turn back on as soon as your power is restored.

Yes. The unit plugs into a household outlet. Most phone services do work when the power is out. If your phone service depends on househole electrcity, then it won't be able to phone out. (We just switched to a "voice over IP" ? service that is part of our internet and when power is out so is the phone.

When power goes out the thermostat holds the stored information for a while. If the power is out for extended time period then information is lost. This is as accurate as I can offer it as I've never timed it.

By power goes off, you mean like a power failure? This is a transformer, it changes the voltage for the appliances to work. If there is a power failure this fails too as this does not generate power.

It will not work when the power goes out. But the on/off is a switch and it remains in the in position, so u won't have to go back in the room

If your power goes out, my guess would be that the door would have to be opened manually from the inside by pulling the emergency rope. I suggest you not use an electric opener if a power outage would keep you locked 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!

There will be a few reasons why your alarm may go off. Upon initial set up the system will test itself and check the battery, During this time you may hear the alarm. If everything checks out okay the alarm will stop and the battery will be on charging until needed. During regular operation you may hear the alarm because the system continues to do checks sporadically, about once a week. During a power outage the alarm will sound informing you that the system is on battery backup power. When the power returns the alarm will shut off. If the system finds any trouble such as the battery dying or the battery depleting itself during a power outage the alarm will go off more rapidly. If you receive a constant alarm that means that there is an issue with the battery, or you have overloaded the system with too many devices, which will not allow the unit to function on battery backup power. I hope you find this your question.
