Will it still work if I plug into a power strip (an extension cord with 6 outlets)? Or does it need to be plugged directly into a wall outlet?

It does not need to be plugged into the wall. It can be plugged into extension cord. That would work.

i could not get them to work on a power strip and i also try it on a 30 amp. 25 ft ext. cord, i could only get 1 to work it was like i had a 1 way talk.

It works thru a power strip. However all intercoms need to be pluged into the same side of the breaker box. For example if your Kitchen is powered by 1 positve feed and the bedroom by the other positive feed it will not work. Your house is powered by a 220 circuit consisting of 2 110 positive feeds. so they need to be on the same positive feed.

I have mine plugged into a power strip. Mine is a robust power strip. Just make sure that all the things plugged into your strip don't exceed the strip's capabilities.

If you connect it to a 12V battery it should work fine (no need to plug it into an outlet). The whole strip needs 5 Amps or 60 Watts to work properly. If you cut the strip short you can use a smaller battery. A battery pack of 8 alkaline batteries (AA, C, or D) will work also.

I would not recommend this at all. You CAN plug it into a surge strip, but with a high amperage device like a space heater this is a recipe for an electrical fire. You should only plug this directly into the wall outlet and not into anything else that comes between the outlet and heaters cord.

It requires a power adaptor to be plugged, but one comes with the item, however you will need an AC outlet nearby as the power cord is only 30 ins long or you can attach it to an extension cord.

It works fine. I have no problem charging mine via a wall outlet..it's the only way I've charged it. Hope this helps!

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.

You know, I'm not sure. I have thrown the box away and do not recall the instructions stating NOT to use and extension cord with the device, but I know it did state not to plug the outlet INTO an extension cord (I hope that makes sense!). I actually have an extension cord (three prong) and a plug strip plugged into the outlet and so far, no issues. I hope this helps! Feel free to respond if you need additional information. Take care!

Thank you for the question!It is not recommended to plug an extension cord or another power strip into a surge protector. It will still work, however the surge protection function will no longer work and your equipment will be at risk of surges.Globe Customer Appreciation Team

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.

Yes you can use all 6 extensions in a power strip such as the Koppla. One in each outlet if desired. You can also plug them into each other if needed.

I think it says not to so I juggled my outlets around and did it without using a strip,then I did plug one into an outlet extender which is essentially a power strip at the wall outlet. It's been fine.

I just did a 10 minute experiment. Setting one outlet to off and the rest to on. Then unplugged the power strip. After 10 minutes I plugged it back in and the same ones were off and on as before I unplugged it. So, at least for short power failures it looks like it will.

Like everyone else says, it works no problem with a power strip as long as you don't exceed total watts. I have several electronic items plugged into mine through a power strip.

Mine came with a AC power adapter. I plugged it into my power strip and it worked fine

The co said it was defective, I have a third one now, I'm afraid to take it out of the box.The first one stopped working after2 months, the second one I turned on once and it wouldn't shut off.I unplugged it but it never worked so they sent the 3rd one. They didn't ask me to send the others back, so I feel they don't know either. The only suggestion they came up with is "don't plug into a surge protector strip". I wish I could help, other than contact the company, not who you bought it from. Good luck
