If I don't have a 3-prong outlet, can I use an adapter?

Yes, you can use an adapterHowever,1) you can only use 1 of the 2 discreet sets of the electric wire in the house. you will have to install the system with the set up steps on page 9 the user's manual (See bullet point # 1 in the Product Knowledge) on sales page. In your case with only 2 prongs you will be better off getting the traditional 2 prongs ASINs: B00F1Z71AG & B006ICDV3M to save money.No GFI, No surge protector because the circuit in those device will alter the signal between the units.

Since it uses the power lines to communicate (not wireless), it's probably essential to have the ground wire. Booklover might have the problem with the basement due to a separation of the grounding.

The instructions say no. Additionally, they advise against using a surge protector. We are forced to use one in the basement and it can only contact the one on the main level. We still love it though.

You don't need any adapter, just connect it to headlignt line power. I added a switch to turnning on/off any time i want ;)

Nope! The plug is a normal one and you should be able to use it in any outlet.

No problem. I'm not sure, but I seem to remember it may require a 3 prong extension cord.

It's the three prong, so you definitely need an outlet that can accommodate it (or an adapter). These are so convenient. I like them because I have several very large plugs that take up half the outlet and so I can't use all of the plug holes. By using one of these, none of the outlets are covered up anymore by the large ones.

You can use a converter if you don't need it. I used one for my Dell computer and it worked fine.I had two prong adapters, but the brick had a three prong cord. I got that adapter and it works fine, too.

no, for that you need a power/voltage converter. this is just a plug adapter.

Such usage would be like plugging any 3 prong plug into a ungrounded outlet. It is ungrounded. Many people do it, but generally, it is not recommended by the professionals.

Yes you can with the newer outlets used in India you don't even need an adapter

Not as isYou would need an outlet adapter plug to convert both outlet and current to 110

2 prong plug, so I see no reason why you could not. It takes a maximum light bulb of 75 watts and the cord is a little over 5 feet long. I usually use surge protectors (safer) instead of an adapter but that is your choice.

There are listings that show a power adapter suitable. I do not have one, but it is avaiiable.

Yes,you can get an adapter for electrical wall outlet for as little as 3 or 4 dollars.

It's like most adapters, I put it at the end but I still loose the one next to it(it covers the ground hole slightly). I guess if you had a two prong cord that was thin, you could probably still plug it in, haven't tried that one yet. My strip has all three prong cords in it.

If your outlet plus match North American (USA) standards you're fine, other wise you will need a travel prong adapter.r

The plug it comes with is made for the U.S outlets, but I don't see why you couldn't use an adapter with it, you would have to purchase that separately.

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.
