“Does it always have to be plugged in to work? It comes with batteries as if it’ll work without the plug.”

• The alarm apparently does not require it to be plugged in, as I can’t get it to stop going off even though I unplugged it last night. I wouldn’t rely on the alarm clock functioning without it being plugged in, but in my case I am trying to figure out how to stop it from going off once every hour. Awesome little gadget, but it’s very hard to find trouble shooting answers for specific issues for it.

• Battery is only for temporary power if power goes out. The battery keeps the time and alarms working when power goes out. This is not meant for extended use on battery. Just as backup.

• The iBT232 is not a portable unit. It must be plugged into the wall at all times. The batteries are backup to keep the time in the event of a temporary power outage.

• It does need to be plugged in. The batteries are just for a back-up power for the clock.
