Q: Does this need a power cord? What is DC6V hole on side for? How is strobe light powered?

A: Yes, this unit comes with a power adapter that you connect in the DC port.

great for hard of hearing
I bought this my mother after reading a review on it from someone saying it would wake the dead my mon is 85 and won't wear her hearing aids. I went to her house and took all of 2 minutes to hook it up. she can now hear the phone and the light probe works great when she is watching her tv and has the tv volume turned all the way up, also not only will it wake the dead but it makes the cat jump 10 feet in the air great product, and not much money

Great for the Hard of Hearing
I purchased a new stationary landline phone for my elderly parents. One of them is close to deaf & won’t use a hearing aid. Unfortunately I never had success with them correctly using a cordless phone. The new phone didn’t ring loud enough for them to hear in or out out of the room. This external ringer/strobe has worked well. It is very loud and it can be heard in other parts of the home. The strobe light works well as a backup alert to the phone’s ringing. Just a note here that it isn’t dependent on the phone handset. This ringer box plugs into your phone line jack and your phone plugs into the ringer/strobe box. It needs a phone line plugged into it to ring but not a phone itself. This is a good product for the hard of hearing.

Loud and bright
This works for hard-of-hearing people. My only concern is that it may be too loud for people with normal hearing!
