From what I can tell cutting the power off to the control panel will cause the memory to dump requiring a reset of level and jack limits.
It really isn't a big deal and takes maybe 15 minutes or so to complete.
For the most part it is a non-issue as long as you don't let the battery go dead. Once power is restored the landing gear will still work in the manual mode until you get a chance to reset the limits.
Since we camp pretty much year-round I just keep the power cord plugged in and check the battery water every couple of weeks.
