Does this model require a GFCI outlet?

Yes it has the third prong for ground. I know they make adapters for non-grounded outlets but I wouldn't recommend it since you're dealing with water.

Yes. A gfci outlet is needed near wet locations to protect. Replacing it with somthing other could cause harm. But if not a wet location then it should work fine.

No, it does not. You would have to purchase a surge protected outlet to install instead of the standard outlet provided. The picture of the product is deceiving.

No,it only has the power outlet connected to the wall and the battery section.

No, it comes hardwired with a standard US outlet. I'm not very pleased with this unit, and wouldn't recommend it anyway.

Is this model not the one you plug in to an electrical outlet to charge it? If not how does it charge?

No Deborah, at least the model I have does not. It is a little annoying because I have to keep plugging and unplugging it. I feel like they should have added that feature!

The unit has a small power supply that plugs into the outlet. The outlet would have to be on the string past the GFI.

Yes, each unit requires an outlet.Very pleased with this system. We purchased 4 and use them upstairs and downstairs with great reception.

Yes, it does require an outlet. In fact, our power cord is missing - we assume the housecleaner put it away somewhere (she doesn't work for us anymore, unsurprisingly). I'm going to have to call the manufacturer to get a replacement.

There are models that have a power cord. The one pictured is made to be hard wired in. It does not come with a power cord.

No the model I purchased did not require external power. I needed to convert HDMI from a new laptop to VGA to supply video to an older but still very functional larger fixed monitor. It worked fine. If you have a similar need be sure to check the monitor, some have a dual input VGA and PCI which gives you a choice in the converter/cable that you choose.

Yes, the unit requires a 110 outlet for the CPU board. The draw is minute about one - two amps.

No, it doesn't but make sure you plug it in the wall not a surge protector.

Yes and No. The USB ports are powered and the surge suppress indicator works. I have mine plugged into a GFCI outlet. This device is designed to be attached to a standard duplex outlet using the supplied screw that mates with the screw hole for a standard wall plate. This cannot be done with a GFCI. I use it by being careful to hold the device when pulling cables out.

Yes it does. It just happens that I had no choice but to use a GFCI to power it. Works just fine for me.

Mine did. I actually put in an outlet after I mounted the shelf.. Works well
