Cathi, Flash memory is a type of memory similar to PROMS (Programable Read Only Memory) that does not need any power to retain its data. Therefore if the battery runs completely out the Flash memory retains its information. This can be proven by unplugging the AVTS unit and removing the battery. Tab ----- Original Message ----- From: Cathi Smothers To: Support Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 6:58 AM Subject: Flash Memory Retention On R6 When Backup Battery Fully Discharges The following question has been asked by Montgomery Co., MD "If the battery runs completely out does Flash memory retain archived information?" I would suspect that the simple answer would be "yes", but could someone give me a more detailed answer? I looked through the list archives for information but was unable to find it.
