Device is a piece of sh't . Buy the single and plug a power strip in to it. That way you can have more than 2 outlets, switch the power off at the strip instead of unplugging the timet. This way the timer is always plugged in so it keeps the right time! Single is also so much easier to program. This one is like mission in possible to even figure out the directions! But yeah all you do is program, plug in your (toys) to the timer, and then timer in to the wall.

No installation is necessary. The 6-foot cord with its 2 prong plug will plug in to any standard wall outlet. The other end of the cord is easily attached to the unit. We placed the unit on an end table that was near a wall outlet, then closed the drapes and turned on the unit.

It's a recessed power outlet. You disconnect your old power outlet (turn your power off first) cut a hole in your wall the size of the new outlet and install. Simple

it comes with a little circuit box connect to it. That box has two wires to connect to 120v wires. I didn't see any issues to install it. Just cut a hole, connect the wires and insert it into that hole.

Yes, That is exactly right... There is a phillips head/slotted screw that mounts the unit to the outlet.

I goes directly into the plug. 1st you must remove the outlet cover, then insert this device into the outlet & lastly you must use the longer screw to secure it to the center of the outlet.

Install it the same way the old one was installed, if there was no outlet you don't have to use the red wire you can leave it capped with a wire nut, the red will also go where the black wire goes, if there are 2 screws, in one you hook the black on the other the red, but I recommend the first choice capping the red wire.

We did, we installed outlet in adjoining closet and used extension cord. We used a GIF outlet. Good luck.

Well, we used just a standard outlet. What is funky about the plug you have?

It just plugs in to existing outlet, but it covers the whole outlet. It works great, though.

This is a 1 piece unit that plug directly into an outlet. I bought a refurbished unit it works, and looks like new.

Sort of ... Mine came with a cable that has a USB connector on one end, and a round connector typically found at the end of A/C adapters on the other end (and which connects to the unit). Without additional adapters, it will NOT plug directly into a standard wall outlet.

Robert, This device only plugs into USB port. It does NOT plug into a regular outlet. Purchase an outlet plug USB converter (similar to an iPod outlet charger), and plug into the wall that way. Mathew

Insert the remaining end of the USB Power wire into an AC adapter connected to the wall socket or a charging computer USB port. i use my laptop to charge this device.

An outlet, preferable. A simple power strip, fine. A surge suppressor, iffy, especially if it has noise filtration. A UPS, forget it.

You would have to wire this into your outlet. There are no plugs as part of this unit.

I agree with the previous answer, nothing to do with it, it's just an outlet extender, ours works great, no problems whatsoever!
