Is the transmitter also capable of being run by batteries??

As others have stated, while the speakers can be run off batteries (hence the portability) the transmitter must be plugged in.

yes, believe it takes 4 c size. i prefer to plug in, seems much better transmission and reception. mine are in baja mexico, outside around the pool for several years and still work great. i finally had sailcloth covers made since the sun down here is brutal

Yes you can run them by either. Pretty good sound...I use them outside mostly by the pool and on the patio. No interference.

yes this is a very good product and highly recommend it....is best to leave plugged in but runs fine on batteries....not sure how long it last but a guess is at least 2 or 3 hours... a great product really.....my transmitter is plugged in at my computer but the speakers work fine on batteries......i use mine for Pandora on my computer and works great...

The speakers can be run on batteries or plugged in, the transmitter must be plugged in to outlet

you have to attach the transmitter to the computer so why not plug it in? the speaker work great on either batteries or plug in thus they are called portable...the distance is probably 50 feet or so.

it works with batteries and can be plugged in. it even has a remote control! I think the only negative I have ever had about it, cause I love it, is that the preset radio stations are hard for me to set up. I recommend this unit very highly.

Yes you can use it while it charges. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use it with a transmitter.

They can run on 6 C batteries (i believe) or AC cord (included for both). So yes, they are truely wireless.

yes, but be forewarned that the charging function seems to become inoperable quite soon after purchase. This is my second, and like the first, within a few weeks the charging becomes hit or miss. The transmitter works better than a much more expensive unit I had though...

Yes it does, the transmitter is built in i believe. It does not have AM however

No, it is not possible this is a transmitter at all. It is a receiver. I fell for the same comments when I selected to purchase this device. I received it and it didn't do either, so I contacted the seller about it not transmitting or receiving and the seller told me it's only a receiver and not a transmitter. Those claiming it's a transmitter are making comments about the wrong device or a similar device used to transmit and now only receives or they received the wrong device or they're simply wrong. This is not a transmitter. And, frankly, it's not that great of a receiver for the price. After receiving my replacement, I tried it out and then gave it away, because I found a better one for around $2.50.

Yes it is self powered, hence the need to plug it into an electrical outlet. Just make sure u recieve an updated SERIES II transmitter!!

It is not, it is only powered by 2 D sized batteries. They last quite a while though.

I don't use it plugged into a transmitter but it seems to me that this is possible.

No it is strictly battery powered. BTW: It was effective for about 2 or 3 weeks. After that the dogs got used to the sound and continued barking.

Mine worked fine. I read on one forum that high capacity rechargable batteries could damage the transmitter, but the manual didn't say anything about it.

No it isn't, you have to plug it in. Having a plug allows it to be a little more powerful than it would be if it ran on batteries.

Hi. Unfortunately it cannot use batteries and must be plugged in. It is a good amplifier.

Yes, receiver and transmitter both have built in batteries. Unit also comes with charger.

My spare batteries are all CR2032.. the device is about 2 months old.. works fine.. the transmitter apparently uses a different battery (12 volt). The device works well.. just be sure to hold down button for couple of seconds to give it a chance to set up the frequency and get a response.

No! It uses batteries. And a lot of them too. The batteries go dead very quick!
