Why can't a small extension cord be plugged into it?

We can plug in any of our extension cords into our side socket. However you have to have the prongs turned the right way.

A 2-prong polarized cord can be plugged in. Look at the pictures and you will see one! (A polarized cord has one plug bigger than the other. It is the common plug on new household extension cords and has been the standard for many years.)

It is a three prong socket.. if your small cord is a two prongt it would defeat the ground part (the grounding is the bottom hole in the socket) it might blow the circuit.. not sure.... depends on what you are using the extension cord for and how much draw there is on it. I would suggest you either get a three prong adapter or a three prong cord... and play it safe

You will have to make a tiny hole at the bottom, so you can pass through the electricity cord and plug it into the wall.

I thought this was my answer, but since it has to be plugged in and most plugs are low and behind things, it didn't work. I ended up getting something else. Good luck

We have bought several of these, so not sure which one this is, but I think one we needed to use an adaptor plug, so you could try that.

Not possible - Not advisable - There are two three pronged male plugs on the unit. To plug it into and extension cord would leave one open and be a shock and fire hazard.

With 6 plugins on the side socket, why would you use an extension cord? But yes you can because I have an extension plugged into one of the sockets.

You need to plug into an outlet for it to work. The outlet is not included.

it must not because it is on the shelf in the closet because my husband neither had the space or the available open places to plug it in at his desk (or it ate up batteries). I think it only plugged in.

No. It's electric so would have to be near a plug in or run an extension cord over.

I'm not sure why you ask this question. I see no reason why one could not plug into this unit anything that is within its listed electrical capacity.

You need to route the cord through a small slot. I had trouble as well until i looked very closely.

Unless you have a plug inside it will not work , yours is probably hard wired.

The cord is definitely short. I use an extension cord with it, but that is not recommended.

I am tech disaster, there it a place to plug in very small something on the back of the unit next to where the charger goes. The opening appears to be smaller than the usual variety of plug ins.

Does not work on an extension cord. U have to plug directly into outlet. this is a safety feature. Something isn't plugged in tight.

Weird. Should have had a cord. You might be able to use an existing one. The connection is pretty standard.
