===== Power: Do I need to order 24 hour power? ===== No. #@PPP@# does not require 24 hour power to operate properly. It can restore itself to where it was if power gets shut off, eliminating the need for expensive 24 hour power fees. To extend the life of the machine, a proper power down procedure is recommended by pressing the power button on the front of the unit. Pulling the power can damage the system over time.
