can the parent unit be plugged to power supply instead of using batteries?

it uses an internal rechargable batt. You can use it on the craddle if battery is low.

The Parent unit ordinarily sits on a cradle which doubles as it's charging station. We have it near our bed. If you need to go around the house and want to continue to listen, just remove it from the cradle and take with you. It has internal rechargeable batteries and is like your mobile phone.

This unit MUST be plugged in to operate. Unfortunately it does NOT contain a standalone battery.

I have mine plugged into a PSU. This is likely the only way to receive power.

Yes, you can plug it in to the unit. I had to use an extension cord, the length was a little short.

It looks like you could. I haven't ever done so. Mine is plugged into a power surge unit though.

Yes. It appears that the unit require to be connected to a 110 outlet during use.

Sure you can. But you will not need to keep it plugged in. It should do the job without a recharge.

no you have to plug it into a power source. that's the only way it will work.

Not to my knowledge. This isn't hard wired into the house. It's self contained batteries. The base unit does plug-in but, it too has an internal battery that is supposed to last 8 hours in case of a power outage. We have a marine battery with an adapter to allow us to 'plug-in' as we live in hurricane country. The individual components all are supposed to have a battery life of a year...easily replaced.

No, this is not a power supply, only a controller. You still have to provide a separate power supply.

Yes, this unit can be used while plugged in, in fact that is the only way my son uses it....he didn't even know that it could be used without being plugged in!

No reason why it couldn't. This unit plugs in and is not limited by battery power like other units.

No, it doesn't. It's necessary for the unit to be plugged in to a power outlet for use.

We use the power supply and not a battery. Last week we had a power outage. When the power returned we simply turned the unit on and everything performed without retuning.

The power supply is an option. It uses a 9 volt battery (not supplied - no surprise there). When the power supply is used, the battery functions as a back-up.

Yes, I just plugged ours right in. It's a little power brick like you've probably seen before, not just a plug though.

Hi, no. I own 2 in one space and both must plug into a power source independently.
