Can you use the radio while it is charging off the USB?

I never tried to do that. It charges from a USB port, which means I am near my computer and other sound sources. I was not impressed with the radio overall.

You can. It turns off when you plug it in but you can turn it back on immediately. The only thing I don't like about this radio is how easily the knob pops off. I recommend gluing it on as soon as you open the box.

I'm not sure. I had my phone (a Samsung Galaxy Note 4) charging with a USB hub that was plugged into my cigarette lighter and was using Pandora through the bluetooth connection while doing it, and that seemed to work okay. But I haven't tried having the phone plugged into the USB connection on the radio because I haven't needed to - the bluetooth works great. I also use it for answering and talking on my phone. Hope this helps some.

Good question. No. The USB is for charging only. You must use Bluetooth for functionality.

The faceplate needs to be attached to charge through the USB port. Both the AUX and USB ports are located on the back of the deck. You'll have to run those wires somewhere like your glove compartment or somewhere you can access fairly easily. So yes, you can charge and use your radio, in fact you can play music through both the AUX and USB ports on the back.

Yes you can recharge the battery from your computer with the USB cord provided but I never make any attempt to change the battery. I really enjoy using my radio. It works perfect.

There is a standard usb port on the back of the radio. Run the wire during the install and leave it.

Yes to all your questions. You can using while charging and you can use it with the battery removed but with the charging cable plugged in.

DO NOT use the side port for charging. It bypasses the electronic charge protection built into the battery and will destroy it..... I really don't even know why it is there, other than to maybe draw current off of it when it is disconnected from the radio. IT IS NOT A CHARGE PORT!..........

Yes, connect the USB connector to the phone charging port and the sound jack to the aux connection of the radio. Depending on the radio though, you may need to select AUX as your source in order for you to hear any sound.

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

Yes. The radio will work while the charger is plugged in. Of course as you know that would not be the main purpose of buying potable walkie-talkies.

Yes, you can. When the unit is fully charged, it cuts off from the charging mechanism. Mine is always plugged in, and ready to go, when needed. Happy screw driving. Does'nt it seem logical? Otherwise, it would be useless when immediately needed. Go for it!!

Hey there... Yes, you can use it while it's connected to the power outlet. It doesn't have a dock station.-

Yes you can use it while charging, but it can only be charged via USB cord.

Yes. Using the supplied charger and cable I can listen to music while charging.

Yes. You can play while charging, but this radio does not have the battery meter status. Music from Micro Sd is stereo while AM/FM output are mono.

Yes you can, two ways! You can use the mini-stereo jack, or, you can use your USB cable. Using the USB cable will also keep your iPod charged. Using the stereo jack will run the battery down.
