Memory backup

The T-433 uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it’s unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the T-433 must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.

Once it has been charged, the T-433 will retain the set- tings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

The clock setting is not retained by the backup system.
