my graph is hooked up to my main power gauge switch. If the main switch isnt on, I cant turn it on...but when it is, I can obviously. Now, when I click this switch off, should this unit maintain its memory? Every time I turn my graph on now, its like at the main screen asking language, etc.
Is that right? Due to hooked up to switch that kills power to it, or is the graph messed up?

I always recommend to wire it directly to the battery if possible but your unit should still retain its memory if its on a switch. Id suspect the graph has an issue

Is there an internal battery that should be keeping this info?

Mine (2) are wired to a positive buss bar(each on their own circuit) which is powered by a cutoff switch also. BUT, I dont just kill power to units using cutoff switch. I turn units off first, THEN kill power using cutoff switch. Haven't had any issues with graphs using this setup. Dont know if it matters but I liken it to turning off a computer first, then unplugging its power instead of cutting power WHILE it is operating. Don't know if it can cause issues with units, but, theyre too expensive for me to chance it. Turn unit off , then cut power to it. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck.

Yes my graph is faulty...lol. It will turn on but power button doesn't work to turn off.
It's getting replaced soon.

"I turn units off first, THEN kill power using cutoff switch."
^ This.
Always power down the HDS using its power key prior to cutting power to the unit.

What type of unit do you have? If it is worth repairing, there is a company in Springfield, MO that works on them.

You may be right. That unit hasn't been made for several years.
