there are several ways we can deal with this:

% \def\digitstimessymbol{\symbol[units][times]}

% \definesymbol[units][times][\times]
% \definesymbol[units][times][\cdots]
% \definesymbol[units][times][\kern.2\emwidth\cdot\kern.2\emwidth]

\def\digitstimessymbol{\times}
\def\digitstimessymbol{\cdot}
\def\digitstimessymbol{\kern.2\emwidth\cdot\kern.2\emwidth}

\unprotect

\unexpanded\def\digitspower 
#1{\digitstimessymbol10\phys_digits_raised{#1}}
\unexpanded\def\digitspowerplus 
#1{\digitstimessymbol10\phys_digits_raised{\digitsplus#1}}
\unexpanded\def\digitspowerminus 
#1{\digitstimessymbol10\phys_digits_raised{\digitsminus#1}}

\protect

or maybe a key/value in setuptimes .. not sure yet
