I don't have a lot of outlets. Do these have to plug directly into the wall all the time or can some use extension cord? Thanks!

Since the device emits ultrasound through its two speakers in the front, I think an extension cord works fine as long as the device is not obstructed by too many objects. Out of the 8 I got, only one is plugged into an extension cord. I made sure that one device was propped up leaning against a wall in an upright position just so nothing falls into the speakers clogging up the ultrasound. Hope that helps.

Yes! Make sure U point the speakers UPWARDS.OR Try the Rid Rite Pest Control System....VERY GOOD price . Rated a 4.5 star!!! (Battery operated)

Scott, you will need access to a wall outlet for these speakers. There is no way to power them without the wall plug.

Ah... I found these other answers confusing, but I have a similar one so it seems easiest to be to say... this is NOT an extension cord! Whatever you plug-in will just be piggy-back plugged right into where this plugs into the outlet, making it stick out of the wall double than usual essentially. The cord length is ONLY for switch-purposes.

I have never tried plugging it into a wall outlet, I always charge them off the USB port on my home computer. Mine does light up like the picture shows. I have had this for quite a while and no issues.

The ones I bought were wired to a circuit and have a battery back up. I did not see any that you just plugged in to an outlet.

I am not an electrician. I bought these for my mother to go in her kitchen. my brother installed them. They are supposed to be plugged in and that's how he did hers. I guess it's a possibility it could be hardwired if somebody knows how to do it, but I can't really say.

The directions say to plug the Belkin only into a grounded duplex outlet with a screw in the middle. The Belkin iskind of heavy so you need to take out the screw in the outlet cover and use the screw that comes with the Belkin to secure it to the outlet. It also says that all connected equipment should be plugged directly into the Belkin surge protector. Using any extension cord in conjunction with a Belkin Surge Protector will void all Belkin warranties.

Hello, Happy Customer............I have searched and searched for the answer to your question, but I can't find any information on connecting an extension cord to this product. We have it back of our TV and don't need the extensions, but just to be on the safe side.....I don't think I would do it until I got an opinion. They would probably know in your local hardward store or over at Home Depot or Lowe's. I think I'll do the same thing because it wouldn't have occurred to me and I might have caused an electrical problem! Good luck to you................

I do use a short extension cord. I don't have it anymore. It's not very durable. It started coming apart.

If you don't have a power outlet, Yes.. You would need to run an extension cord... however, by calling a licensed electrician, install an outlet, it would be ideal... that's what I did... cost me $50. bucks...

I am not an electrician so I don't exactly know what the "proper" use is ----- but I do have one plugged into the outlet on the wall and one plugged into an extension type cord/powerstrip because the size of the unit prevented me from using both plugs on the wall outlet. Hope that helps!

You cannot plug it into a wall outlet. It gets its power from a USB port. It should plug into an MP3 player though, as it has the same hook-up as speakers for your computer would have. The anwser from Renee says you can plug it into a wall outlet. I never received anything that would permit me to do that. ANYWAYS, I highly recommend these. They are pretty cool to show off to people who have never heard of them before.

You can plug it into wall outlet but be sure to buy an extension cord that is at least 16 gauge or better. 14 gauge is better but expensive.

Yes you need to plug it into the wall outlet. It's a great product and cheap.

Thanks, Stan! Yeah, I've since checked w/ my local building dept. and it's definitely a no-no to run any AC power cord inside of a wall in any size, shape or form. Period. Will try adding a receptacle behind the TV because I loathe any kind of visible conduit, however discreet it might look. Hopefully, one of the two existing receptacles in the area are the last on a line. Otherwise, I think I'd have to bring an electrician into the picture. [Groan!]

These are powered by the computer, so there is no separate plug to the wall. They are plugged into the USB, and also have to be plugged into the speaker jack.
