> 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.
