Isolator switch install - Meter affected?

Hi there.

 

I’m due to have an Isolator switch installed on the Meter Board tomorrow, and have been informed that all electrics will be switched off for at least 15-20 minutes.

Forgive my ignorance, but how does this affect the Meter itself, as it is a digital meter.
Do the readings reset to 00000:000, or does it have an internal battery to prevent loss of accuracy and ruining the readings?

Internal battery keeps it exactly where it was :)
