Can this unit be connected with a cell phone which may be stowed away?

If you are asking if it is blue tooth compatible, it is not. Otherwise, I don't understand the question. It broadcasts and receives on a variety of channels, none of which are cell phone channels. You would use this instead of your cell phone to contact the coast guard, or other boaters for assistance.

Oh, yes! I returned my unit before ever using it. For emergencies, I put a cell phone in a small bag attached to a lanyard.

Yes you can, but the base unit uses a landline, these are not cell phones. Hope this helps.

Yes. On any wireless link, Trees, Climate, buildings, ect., may interfere with the connection between both points.

The space allowed for the audio imput is not large enough for the phone to be removed while connected. I enlarged the space with a wood file. Easy to do...

It has to be part of and connected to a phone system. It is not a stand alone blue tooth device.

If you have it shut and locked then unfortunately no you can not. The upper edge and door has a seal. If you shut the door and lock it the wire will be pinched. I have used mine with ear buds at the beach just to keep my phone out of the sand and just not locking it but I would not suggest this if your around the water.

Probably, yes. But you would have to hold it about 3 or 4 inches away from the cell phone. This would get tiring, unless you fashioned something to prop it up in front to free your hand.

It uses bluetooth to connect to your phone. Which does not require internet. But it is location based. So if you are too far from your phone it won't work. So if someone steals it, and is not in a close proximity, this won't work. Because it connects to your phone via bluetooth, your phone needs to be powered on. If the battery runs out, this will not work.

Hi JD.I think this user was also asking if you could use a standard corded phone plugged into the base unit? and if they were not, i am lol! do you know if this is possible?

Remotely yes - via phone or computer. However "voice commands" will not allow you to turn on/off the unit.

Yes you can, but the phone would not be sealed water tight if you plug in headphones.

There is a small circle on my phone that could be used for some kind of connection but it is not open. So I assume the case leaves that space there for use later on.

Yes, but the phone must be close to the device. Having it in a cargo pocket is risky.

Yes, you can use the system with cell phones only, and the instructions show how to program it to indicate there is no land line i.e. "cell only". Just don't place the base unit near a cable outlet, I did and there was a lot of static. I moved it away from the cable outlet and the static went away.

I suppose it could but what would you do with the phone. It could not be kept in the base station then. Aside from that, these are the BEST phones I have ever owned!

Yes it can. Mine is in the dashboard, behind the radio unit. Only thing visible is the microphone, everything else is hidden. Have it for about 3months now and still works perfect for streaming music from my phones (android and Iphone) or get calls.
