Once this item mis installed, must it be removed if you want to charge the phone in a wall outlet?

Leave the Qi in your phone. You can charge it wirelessly or or plug it tothea charger. Whatever you choose any time.

Hi Jerry, This is such a delicate thing to do for your SmartPhone. Yes, sir, it has to be PERFECT :-) I would NOT PLUG YOUR SMARTPHONE in if you have NOT COMPLETELY UNISTALLED THE QI CHARGING ITEMS... I hope this helps... Let me KNOW.. :-) Christopher "sky2112007@yahoo.com"

Nope! Pop it in, leave it in, and you can still charge your phone with a wall charger like normal whenever you want.

No. It does not interfere with the ability to plug the phone into a normal wall charger.

No. Because it is two separate components, typically installed on oposite sides of a wall, it will need to be charged once the connections are made.

No. This unit is powered by a USB connection to a device (computer, etc.), not from a wall outlet.

Leaving the charger plugged into the wall is fine so long as the connector end is kept safe from water, pinching etc. You should not leave the device plugged in all the time as this is not so good for the battery. If you never plan to run the device on the battery, you are probably safe leaving it charge all the time.

I think it should be left in the off position while charging. Don't quote me on that though.

No. That requires other hardware. This is strictly for charging your mobile device.
2214981
nope it is totally open to plug in the charger. I haven't found anything you need to remove it from the case for.

Yes the charging line separates at the end that where you plugs into the wall. You are then left with two pieces a plug end and the balance will be your USB cable.

No it is specifically setup to replace the wall plate and the hole for the phone jack would be covered up.

Yes, the plug pulls away from the body (hidden) and then the unit can be inserted into a wall outlet.

Remove? No. But the cord should probably be disconnected. The cover has a short (3 inch?) rat-tail that connects to power. The cover is difficult to get on, although no more so than any other cover I've used. I just would not want to remove and reinstall daily. :-)

It is easily removed. Unscrew the two plugs in the back and the item will come off.

From instructions (you do NOT remove the outlet cover, only the screw):Locate the screw hole in the center of the surge protector. Remove the screw from the wall outlet plate. Plug the unit into the wall outlet and secure it using the screw supplied in the package.

Yes, you can use it even if you unplug it from the wall as long as the internal battery is charged. Actually while plugged into a charger, it will not charge other devices such as a phone.

I read in the instructions that the battery should be removed after charging so I'm assuming it could get damaged or they wouldn't say to remove it.

Be careful though; Lugulake in an email informed that it's not advised to use it in this manner when the battery in the charger is fully charged as it will likely affect the battery pack life. I've been using it both ways (portable charger and wall connected) sofar with no issues.

I had no idea you were supposed to move the coverplate until I saw these answers! I just plugged it in over the outlets and put the screw aside bc I didn't know what it was for... (heh) It works perfectly fine but I'll fix mine now. Thanks for asking this question & thank you everyone for your answers!
