Will running the wire through a window, then closing it, pinch the cord and cut off the signal or damage the wire?

If you can get the wire through the lower corner and then close gently you should not have a problem. The angle in the corner gives you a little give....of course, do not slam your window down and try not to open and close it very often. You only have a problem when the wire is completely severed.

No. It has to be connected via wire. The fact that it unplugs two different ways is more or less to prevent damage, in my opinion. That's been that case with me.

Don't touch the wire! If you need to work near or get over the fence, disconnect the power.

Your house would immediately burn down! Just kidding. It would likely never cause a problem especially if a heavy duty extension cord with good insulation was used, but it is, as you know, against code. Best to just suck it up and get the Datacomm kit with the power outlet and install that, or have it installed.

Short answer is no. You could disconnect the power to it. I keep it hidden, but if the need arises, I can reach and hit the reconnect button.

If it is hard wired in there won't be a problem. If you are use it with the Wi-Fi it will depend on the signal strength. If it is weak it will cut in and out.

Yes, that would definitely set it off. I have it on a window, and you can't open or close it carefully enough to not set it off. But then that's why there's an off switch!

I don't have an attached wire but tried it now with a skinny electrical cord and it starts right up so I would say, "yes, it does work even without being completely closed".

Mostly in the window. It works better if the pre-amplifier is away from any interference i.e. away from TV and other electronics. I recommend to use a 6 to 8 feet coax cable between the pre-amp and the TV in order to stay away from interference . In my case doing so, it works very well.

It is the correct unit to interrupt the power to a modem,provided the wire from the 'mole' that plugs into wall receptacle is a double flat cable and not a shielded (coaxial) cord.It's easier to Open one conductor in flat wire.Both conductors pass through switch but one side(Smoother, hot) gets cut,stripped and each side connected to screws in switch.(explained in directions that are in the bag.Unplug unit during the installation.You can, with more patience, use it on a coaxial wire.Interrupt the center wire if you want to strip a more difficult wire.I'm Ill & retired.Call on me again if you need other help.I was in Electronics/TV Repair for 52 years.

I doubt it will trip the breaker.... but it doesn't like extension cords. so if there is a long run of 14-2 from the breaker it may not run properly. Also depends on the temperature.

I believe so. That was my intention when I hung it through a hole in the ceiling and wanted to put the wires running through the attic. My electrician didn't want to do that so I ended up having to do it myself just through the walls. Also, if you're using a cable box, the box has to be within sight so those wires from the screen to the box wouldn't be hidden anyway.

This is a great thermometer. The cord certainly cannot pass through the glass, but the cord is quite small & flexible and if the window does not fit too tightly, the window may be able to close with the cord in the crack. Try closing the window on a small cord, such as a thin shoe string.

I'm going to say no...because its a specialty cable...but if you want to risk tearing the unit up you could slice together some similar gauge wire....don't know what the specs are with signal drop as the unit is powered by 2 double A batteries...hope this helps...its really an awesome security device.

not exactly sure , i have a outlet close to my window and it reaches fine but if you were looking to plug it in on a different wall you might need an extension

I don't know for certain but I would expect that would happen. If the power surge is large enough to disable/destroy other electronics in your house then I suspect it would damage this device as well.

It comes out the backside of the strip after looking at your question again if the plugs were facing me the wire is on the top i would not think you would have a problem.
