Batteries only. Whole point of this one is its easy to just pick up, push a button & know time & date & be able to move it or take it with you no matter where you are sitting.

It's battery operated. But don't worry, it doesn't work with batteries, either.

Short answer: yes, it has to be plugged in always. There are no rechargeable or standard batteries in this device. This is seems not to be intended to be carried around. It should stay in the shelf or on the table. Hope this helps. cv

It has a cord and needs to be plugged in. I use a heavy duty (orange) extension cord, and have had no problems with it.

You can plug it in (plug included in package). It's a better option than batteries because the battery compartment is annoying to open.

Either. It can use batteries or use the ac adapter. We always use it plugged in but it does have battery option.

Yes, it must be plugged in to be used. The good thing is, it won't run out of charge during use.

There are no batteries necessary. The unit is powered by a transformer that plugs into a standard wall socket.
