I want to use this in my car. My question is, does this device need the A/C adapter all the time to run or will it run off the line in jack?

Get an adjustable power cigarette port power supply and plug that into the unit. Make sure you have the right size plug on it though.

It requires the AC power supply. I suppose you could plug it into an AC/DC converter and plug that into your cigarette lighter, but at that point I think you are getting more complicated than it's worth.

I will have to look at it to remember, but I can say it doesn't go through batteries very much. I can't remember the last time I put them in there and both my kids play with it all the time and my daughter used to use it every night. Just checked and it does not have a jack for an a/c adapter.

When you use it in the car use the car adapter, else when you are in the house you have another unit that plugs straight into the mains. I am of course in Malaysia.

No. It does not come with a car adapter. It has a remote, but must be plugged in to a regular wall socket to charge. I wish I would have checked on this before buying it.

Well Mel, My scooter has a male/female adapter plug under my seat near battery campartment. I plug into the adapter first then I plug into A/C. Never plug into A/C first.

I am having trouble running it off AC power. The plug isn't designed well and it fell out of my power strip, so the battery ran out of charge totally. Now it's plugged in, but it doesn't want to work yet because the battery is not charged. So, it runs off the battery only, but you can try to keep the battery recharging as you use it by keeping it plugged in.

It uses the 12v jack in your car. I use it both at home and in car. You will need a sound system that can hook up the radio receiver and also have a big antenna to get the signal to your house.

I am kind of confussed, does the 760 come with a car dc adapter? I am about to buy one, and I am not sure if I have to also buy an dc adapter,

It came with a car adapter to plug in to the car outlet. It isn't the typical hous plug or anything, no additional items needed. If your missing it, you have a defective product. Thing is you have to plug it in every time you want to use it and you have to unplug when done.

I have two of these. The one I use in the car will connect automatically as it powers off with the ignition key. The one I use in the house is plugged into a wall outlet to usb power supply and I need to unplug/plug in the usb with each use to work. :(

I only use mine with an adapter and plug it into a wall socket.I you leave it plugged into your cigarette lighter and the engine isn't running, it will run down the battery.My cigarette lighter doesn't have power unless the car is running, anyway.

No. It plugs into a standard home wall outlet. Basically, it turns the AC from your wall outlet to the DC you would get from your car battery. You wouldn't need a car plug. If you're looking for something with a car plug, you may be looking for a Power Inverter that plugs into your car and has changes the DC to AC.

Separate A/C adapter.I'm starting to really like these speakers.Just don't turn them up too loud.I think they'd probably blow...

No. It needs to be plugged into a regular a/c outlet. We use an extension cord. Otherwise, it is an excellent car vacuum cleaner.

It needs to be plugged in to work. In a vehicle you can use the cord that comes with it, but in the house or work you can buy a optional cord that will plug into wall. I will say this is the best item I have bought in a long time. R everywhere I go out goes with me.
