why wont it run off ac wall power?

The first one I bought didn't work with the AC adaptor. I had to return it and get another one. That one works fine. If you don't use the adaptor, be prepared to buy a lot of batteries. They only last a few days at most. Good luck.

My battery wont charge. Radio doesn't work. It's junk, will probably throw out. Too late to return it. Sorry I bought it.

The rechargeable battery is not charged, or you have a bad battery, or your wall charger is bad.

It does run off of AC power if you have plugged in the adapter to the wall and to the radio. And--you need to make sure it is sitting well inside the charging unit. If it is not placed properly in it (for example-not flat at the bottom--then the red charging light does not come on indicating it is not charging. Plus make sure you are turning on the ON button if you want to hear a report. It does not report the weather if it is not turned on. I hope this helps.

It shoThe rechargeable battery will charge and work while in the the charging dock. I believe the battery bypasses the ac port.

I believe it is the design to merely run off a battery pack. Since it is an emergency radio, the design asumes that electricity is not available for the average radio or television thus engaging this item to usage.

my unit works fine off wall power-- no battery's in unit even---use a meter to see if power is cumming out of the wall adapter.

It is not powered so I guess it is operated by heat or cold weather? Good luck!

It's AC power only, in other words, you need to plug in to the wall socket.

Did you plug it directly into a wall plug or use and extension cord? Extension cord could be bad. Check outlet to verify it is active. If all this checks out then it's possible you have a bad switch or perhaps an inline fuse is blown. Call the company and see if they have a tech who can work with you. I just plugged mine into the wall inlet and it started up just fine. Good Luck.

There is an on/off rheostat dial on the front of the unit. This would be fine if you are running straight power to the heater. I have the heater set at its highest setting and my power comes from a wall thermostat. Hope that makes sense to you.

Hi, Not heard of this issue before. I would turn it off remove plug from wall and let it sits for an hour or so then restart.

it take's a lot to start the a/c but once it starts your ok. make sure again everything is not on. you could be charging the batterys if they did not have full charge. put the all the a/c setting on lowest. turn it on and if it start to bog turn it right back off, do this a couple of time and you should be running.

It is possible there is a problem with the electrical circuit or wall receptacle and the unit is running off back-up battery powerrather than the household AC circuit. Plug in another electrical item and see if it works. If it doesn't work, you have a problemat the outlet or circuit. If it does work, you know your power supply is good and the problem is with the unit. Try clearing itand plugging it in again. If the problem persists, I would contact the seller to see about getting unit replaced. We have nothad this problem with our unit so I am only telling you what we would do to try to find the problem.

I have it plugged directly into the wall now, the power has gone out a few times and no data has been lost. I am thinking about getting a surge protector with a battery backup just in case.

In the past Cyberpower has been very good about supporting their products. Ask them but I think the responses below are pretty close, you have too much load, the battery is bad (or not charged). Are you sure your wall power outlet is good?

Not as-is. It runs on 12v DC like a car battery. You would need to use a 12v DC transformer "power brick" to change the 120V AC coming from your wall outlet down to a usable voltage.

Remove m power, plug tv directly into wall and see if tv turns off. If it doesn't turn off, your m power is over heating and possibly shorting out. It's very possible that your tv is over heating as well. Remember these conditioners only clean and stabilize power. Hope this was helpful

Unit requires 12VDC to operate. Any off the shelf 12VDC power supply or wall adapter rated 500mA or greater should be capable of powering the unit.

It runs on 110 volt AC current---the stuff that's in your wall outlets. Or 220 volt, found in your fuse or breaker box. You also need a suitable switch to turn it on and off. If you don't know these things, I suggest you get an electrician to hook it up. Better safe than dead.

Plugged it into a regular wall outlet, which has other equipment on it, ie lights, fan and it has not been an issue. I use 20 amp breakers.

It shouldn't power off completely. At most it should power down to the low fan setting.

The device will run off the power coming from the HDMI cable. I do not use a power plug.
