Can I leave it turned on always and just connect from my iPhone?Or do I have to physically touch it every time I want to use it so that it becomes available to use?

It is my experience that the TDK V513 has an auto shutoff feature if it is not used for a certain amount of time. So, I do not believe that you can leave it on continually. But, once you push in the on button, or use the included remote, it turns on immediately and uses the last setting (IE Bluetooth or Hardwire).

You have to touch every time you want to use it so that it becomes available to use, however you can always turn it on with the remote controller that it brings.

The auto off takes very little time to shut off when there is no signal (Aux or Bluetooth). Even if there is a signal it has to be making sounds or it shuts off, so don't turn down the volume of your source. It also frequently shuts off even with a signal, so keep the remote handy and be ready to be frustrated. I don't understand why it has any auto shut off feature anyway since it is not battery powered and must be plugged in all the time to work.

I believe after an hour or 2 of being inactive, it automatically shuts off. Once you sync with blue tooth, everytime you turn it on, it will start playing music from your device. Do what I do and keep the remote at a convenient location. Overall this speaker is totally worth the price surprisingly coming from a CD manufacture company. Definitely good for outdoor or bed room.

If you leave it on in the bluetooth mode then it will automatically connect to the last phone it was paired with when it comes into range. Unless it is one of the random disconnects I kept getting then turning the cube off then on again is what gets it to reconnect.

There are two ways to use it. 1) if the light on the back is on, you are first using the complete charge on the Unu, then when it is drained it will automatically switch to the battery power on your iPhone. 2) is to use the phone battery first. The Unu will keep it charged as long as it has 'extra' charge in it. This is the way that I prefer it. When I put my phone in the charger it makes a bell type of noise. The light does not come on. If it does (it has a few times) I just push the button. It should go out. My experience makes me believe that it lasts longer with option two. I try to not have that light on, but I've never really tested this theory. What it boils down to, is I really don't know. Lol!

The device has an auto-shutoff, so it won't automatically connect for that reason. But with the push of one button it re-connects VERY easily. More easily than most blue tooth devices.

Not that I can ttell.personally I leave the bluetooth on mybphone turned on all of the time. When I want to hear some tunes I just turn my oontz on and it connects to my phone

Idk maybe if your phone has Bluetooth, but if you do you use it, I say keep it synced at all times or it might never, NEVER connect again. That's what happened with my iPod 4th gen

I leave mine plugged in all the time. Just struggling with getting it to connect. Thinking my phone may be too old. Hope my new phone does better.

I find that sometimes when I am in the house it's still connected. I have an iPhone and I just go to my speaker button and switch from superT back to phone. I have bought 6 of them because of the ease of use. I leave my actual superT on instead of powering on/off everytime.

Super Easy. I Do It All The Time. Just Unplug It, Move It, And Plug It Back In. Then Open The App And Hit The Reconnect Button.

If it is disconnecting on its own in the middle of use, I think there is a problem with the device but if you are turning it off and then reconnecting later, yes, I need to reconnect using my iPhone bluetooth settings.

Yes, it remembers and pairs with my iPhone each time I get in the car. The one caveat is that if you turn the engine off and immediately turn it back on, sometimes the phone gets confused and won't reconnect. In that case you can either cycle BT on/off on the phone or the power line to the dongle. I put a switch to the dongle to make it convenient to power cycle it. Where this comes into play the most is while waiting in line at gas stations because I turn off the engine if the line is long.

You have to pair it everytime. But you just have to hold the button on the unit and your phone should connect automatically after the initial pairing. The charging port is pretty flimsy on these. I have had mine for a few days and it stopped charging. It turns out that the charging dislodged from the logic board so I just hardwired the USB cable that came with it.

You can leave it on but it doesn't read continuously. You have to press a button to get the current reading. Therefore, there is no point in leaving it on unless someone is going to press the button and check on it at intervals during the night.

You cannot. You have to unplug it to use the normal iPhone cable to connect to your computer. You CAN use iTunes Wireless Sync.

The product has a sensor that will connect automatically upon re-entering the car. The device will say "attempting to connect" when you open the door or unlock the door to get in. Then - it will connect and say "connected". The device will go to 'sleep' after leaving the car. The only thing to watch for that if your car is very close to where you are with the phone - it will stay connected within a certain range...but you can always turn Bluetooth off on your phone.

Yes you can turn it on and off, in fact to turns itself off if disconnected for a bit. I also found that my phone will not auto connect to it like it does with my car, I need to reconnect (not re-pair) each time I turn it on.

Yes it has to be connected but you can connect through bluetooth. You can connect your device directly to it if you wanna keep it charged.

I don't think it really has to be powered constantly, it is just a recommendation so it doesn't have to reboot every time it gets turned back on. So you can turn it off if you want, there is nothing that says you have to leave it on.
