Why does it need an adapter?

I have had mine for 1 1/2 years. It did not need an adapter as it is battery powered. I have only had to change the battery once so far. My guess is that the adapter can be used if you don't want to buy batteries but unless something has changed it is not necessary and I don't see that there would be much advantage. I would read more to see if the new one truly needs it. It has been a great scale for us.

It needs an adapter only if you don't want to buy the required 9 volt battery. Personally, if you remember to turn it off after each use, the battery will last over a year. I've had mine for almost 2 years and still haven't changed the battery. (My wife will let me know the second we need one!)

I think that is what it is designed for. when using other than PC tools you run the risk of having to use an adapter.

No adapter needed. Only tool needed is a small philips head screwdriver. If there is a 250 or 500 memory in the socket, remove that and slide in the new one. Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes. There is an instructive video on utube that is helpful. Charlels

Have you tried contacting the company? And why would you need a adapter? It has a USB port.

Yes you need an adapter. It is really not that bad using the adapter. No real difference except you cannot close the top middle piece.

There is no adapter needed as it works over USB. Garage band I will try and get back to you.

The adapter is for transferring files to your computer, which presumably won't have a microSD slot; the microSD card fits into that slot on the unit.

Hello. The card I purchased came with an adapter. It should be stated in the product description.

I don't see why not you just have to get an adapter so you are able to plug it in.

I keep tell you I have an adapter already. I had to buy from a Sony Svc. So need for an adapter.

No, you do not need an adaptor. It is a great product. I have been using them for about 15 years, originally got them from a store in New York. I always have 3 or 4 on hand just in case I am unable to find them.Hope this helps.

As far as I know it is not. My son-in-law who is more tech savvy than I am installed it for me. No adapter was necessary. Hope this helps.

We put this in our boat. It runs great I know that. But I am sorry, I don't know if you need the adapter. We bought it and did not need it..

I was not aware that you could use an adapter, but apparently you can. I now see that there is a little round plug for it. However, from Joe Lee's comments, I would be sure to use the correct one.

Didn't come with an adapter. Yes, you can buy one that is designed for this system. I did and I haven't needed it. Best advice: Try using the system first, then think about the adapter.

Precisely. This is tantamount to false advertising, since an adapter is still required.
