The "fine print" says "without batteries" , is this true?

Let me guess. the remote is powered by the camera battery. as a consequence, the life of the battery would decrease.I am only guessing, because I don't have the remote yet.

This is a very simple mechanism for triggering the shutter. If you don't put batteries in, it seems to draw just enough power from the camera to detect the button press. I don't know if it uses power at all or is a simple dead switch mechanism that connects two USB pins, but it uses very little power either way. You can optionally put batteries in it to use the more advanced features (time lapse, etc). This also powers the display for selecting which mode. With batteries, I assume there's a chance it uses no power from the camera at all. Either way, I used this for hours doing time lapse. Even with the 30 second minimum timeout for the display on my NX1000, the battery still lasted quite a long time in the camera.

Yes, they work without batteries, you just won't have any noise cancelling.

No. It has a internal capacitor that keeps the programming for several days without batteries.

The product I have does not require any batteries, maybe if there is one to purchase with a 'light' added it may need batteries, however the stand alone needs none!

I believe it was AA, they are no necessary, there is a little cell phone but they can play with it without batteries.

I think I bought it in 2008 and have not had to change batteries. So I assume it doesn't need batteries.

Yes mine does but the batteries last a really long time so you may not need it.

If I remember it does not require batteries. To make sure, either call Amazon or inquire through their Customer Service. I gave this to my grandson last year and I am pretty sure it did not require batteries.

Yes, you can still listen to music without batteries. No, the headphone doesn't "quit" when the battery dies.

No, no batteries are required!But if you're using them for a really little kid, don't knock them around too much. They're a really good product just won't withstand a lot of abuse

I'm not sure why that's part of the technical description but no, this item does not require batteries.

I'm not 100% certain but I'm fairly sure you don't need batteries. it is a landline that connects to the wall.

I think that must be an error in the description. There were no batteries with mine, nor did it need them.

This item does not include batteries...you have to purchase them separately.
