does it work with AC if teh battery dies?

The microphones are all battery operated, no electrical backup. This has worked well for us. However, the room we use it in is quite large so we needed two speakers.

I couldn't tell you. It went up in smoke after I plugged it in for the first time. Not a wonderful product.

The first one I bought didn't work with the AC adaptor. I had to return it and get another one. That one works fine. If you don't use the adaptor, be prepared to buy a lot of batteries. They only last a few days at most. Good luck.

Under battery replacement, it mentions that if it is wired for AC, the batteries will be used for backup, but I do not find any info in the manual showing how to wire it for AC. therefore I'd call customer service at 1-800-468-1502 or their website at http://yourhome.honeywell.com.

I would say it would power everything but your AC. AC draws a significant amount of power (in the thousand watt range). I can find no mention of battery life in AH, KWH, VAH, or any other standard measurement of battery life. I can't find anything in a google search either.

If it is plugged in to AC. Mine is not using battery backup and if the power goes off, the unit goes off.

It has four AA battery functionality so the answer will be yes. Plus, If your AC adaptor has output DC 6V than it should work, theoretically!

No - does not work that. Also batteries will die fast if unit is left on continuously.

The answer is yes but I do not use that the AC adaptor. I use an external charger as the AC adaptor limits me from using the equipment while the battery is being charged.

No. There is no built-in storage battery; so it must be connected to AC power.

Yes, works with AC adaptor only. I don't even put batteries in unless I'm going to be using it where AC isn't available.

Yes. This is a very well designed unit. The prongs for the AC just flip out to plug it into the wall. The batteries seem to hold a charge for a long time. Well pleased.

If being charged by AC there is an auto shut off. If plugged into a DC power source you have to monitor the charging by eye.

No. it would probably surge to high and would drain the battery in minutes. I tried to run my AC on my boat and it immediately dropped to 60% battery. You would probably have to string multiple batteries to it for that to work... Like 10 more.

The one I bought is designed for 12V DC. I believe it could work on AC by means of 'ringing' an AC to DC adaptor. However, this device does not seem to be meant for that. Hope it helps.

Yes. It needs to be hooked up to AC. It has built-in battery backup so that if power goes out, the light and sign can stay on on battery power only.

Remote works on principle of electricity.If remote is compatible to carrier AC then it should work .rule of science does not change irrespective of what year AC was installed.

it will not charge by ac.you will need to to use to also use an ac charger at some point over night charge (a dc charger will only maintain a batteries)
