Verizon has a battery backup to the phone system. Are power failures still detectable by the HS700?

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.

I would think only if your phone system loses power or the unit had a bad batter.

When the Freeze alert loses line power it uses its internal battery to make the telephone calls that have been entered into its memory. It does not operate the light and buzzer to save battery power that it uses for temperature and water leaks. There is a problem if loss of power also disables telephone service as it does for a Comcast phone line that uses cable and needs line power to keep the router running (unless the router is on a UPS).

This is not mentioned in manual.By experiment, the phone book survives power failure. I have no idea whether it is stored in the base station or one or morte handsets. The manual says base station ahndset works during power failure.Larry

Yep no problem. I always recommend an stand alone analog phone like this in the event of power failure anyway!!!

it does not have a battery backup, but "Power outage: The screen is blank. Only the time must be set if the outage lasts more than 4 hours; all other settings and programs are permanently saved." This is from the direction sheet. I do like the unit!

You can purchase a battery backup for the Web600 so it will continue to function during a power outage. However, you will not receive any notices via the Internet until the power is restored. You could use the relay output to trigger a dial out device to make a phone call but what requires an additional device. I chose the Internet capability over dial out. I have mine monitoring my oil boiler temperature as well as boiler lock out.

I have not had a power failure yet but once power comes on, modem and wireless router will reset automatically. Although computers and smartphones are setup to automatically connect to wireless routers, on rare occasions they do require operator intervention. I would imagine the cyberstat would behave in the same way.

Yes. I have one and I have both my Galaxy and HTC plugged into it along with my Tomtom. No problem with power.

Not quite - it can be configured to monitor many types of UPS, either via SNMP or a USB connection, and it will do a graceful shutdown, but at this time it will not power back up when power is restored. The power on functionality may be added later, but there is no guarantee.It can be remotely powered on using Wake-on-LAN and I have been able to use this in a workaround to get my RN102 repowered automatically

I do not know because I have not used that feature on our phone yet. I know there are no batteries for back up.

No battery backup. Be sure and have a cellphone as a backup for power outages, Regular phones normally work with power outages, these don't.

No battery backup built in but it uses the battery from the the alarm system. It has retained my zwave configurations after being disconnected. Most of the alarm programming is retained on your alarm system. IP address and such is usually DHCP.

The battery is for the backup system that is installed with the original installation. My backup system is in the basement. If the technician did not install a backup system I would definitely contact Verizon to have one installed. My original battery lasted almost 9 years.

There is no battery backup, however the programming is retained when there is a power outage and when the unit is disconnected.

That's going to depend on many factors... heat, charge/discharge cycles, and the construction of the battery itself. Unfortunately, for us, this battery only lasted two months and has now failed. Luckily, Verizon replaced it (free) and we're "testing" the charger. If the new Verizon battery lasts more than a couple of months, this UB1280 will have failed and we'll update our review.

There has been a recall on the dv6700 battery by HP. You may want to check the numbers on yours and see if it is listed as one to be replaced by HP.

Sorry, but it is connected to power and my power hasn't failed. As I said the customer service is A1 and you should ask them for details.

It is generally not recommended plugging in an additional power strip to any of these UPS backups. In fact, I think some warranties are voided if you do and then have problems.
