Using a USB cable to charge the radio, what setting do you use, power or battery? Also, can it be overcharged?

I just plugged it into my computer. I believe I left it plugged in for about an hour or 2. That was several months ago, the radio is still holding a charge.

Iuse the USB charger to charge the battery that is in the radio. I have not charged my spare battery, becuase once you start charging and discharging them, they begin to wear out. I will use the 1st battery until it won't hold a charge any longer, and then install the 2nd battery.

I posed your question to Ambient Weather's Customer Care and this is what they said: "The easiest way to recharge the battery is through the USB power port. We have an excellent guide here: http://site.ambientweatherstore.com/Manuals/wr111qs.pdf ." They also said, "You can use your computer to fully charge it. It does charge through the radio."I've been charging mine through the radio and it works fine. Good luck!

I charge it with the usb. It doesn't last long. I am going to return it. Doesn't really work good if needed while out.

Just by having the radio plugged in through normal use will keep battery charged. I hope this helped you.

Good question. I believe the USB port on the front of the radio is for reading music files from a USB memory stick. To double check, I did plug-in a USB cable and tried to charge my phone, with radio both on and off. There was no charging indicated on my smart phone. So I think it's just a passive USB port for inputting music files. Maybe someone else has additional information?

I guess the battery might be out of order. My MU350R 2-way radio is enough over night for charging. I have two sets which are really excellent for long lasting. Thanks.

Mine did not, but you can use a USB cable to charge the batteries (rechargeable batteries only) or run the radio without batteries. I plug the USB cable into my desktop computer but I'm sure you could use many other power sources (television, laptop, hub, etc.). You plug the end of the USB into the slot on the radio labeled "DC-In 5V" (meaning 5 volts). Of course you have to find a USB cable with the proper sized plug to fit this slot. It's rather common. I use the cable that came with my Canon digital camera.

Not sure what you mean. The radio works off of regular power or batteries. Your device (phone or iPod) connects via Bluetooth, but this radio does not charge the phone or iPod.

It only runs from the car cigarette lighter or power jack, you do not have to charge it. Also, there is no "on/off" switch - If the device has power there will be a green light on the power plug (next to the USB jack) and you will see an FM channel on the display. If there's no power light or channel displayed then check the power outlet you're using. There is also an auto shut-off feature. If the transmitter experiences 50 seconds of silence it will shut itself off. To turn it back on just plug in your mp3 player and turn the volume up. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem. I used my I phone charger I also tried pluging it into my computer to charge. I didn't get it to show more than the battery blinking. I also tried new batteries it still did not show a full charge. The radios died after a few mins use.

The radio has a USB port that can be used to charge anything that is compatible. ie:MP-3 players, smart phones etc. It also has a mini-USB port that you can use to charge the radio from your computer etc.

the 2 radios and a cable which will allow charge both simulataneously connected to the wall. I never tried to USB charge them; but the connector would pemmit it.

I don't know. I was so disappointed with the audio quality that I have never used it for anything. I try to keep it charged for that possibility of needing it, but have not needed it yet. I can tell you that it is supposed to charge a cell phone battery and does have a USB port for doing so.

It only runs off battery, which is recharged by the pop out USB plug which plugs into a computer USB plug. I have charged it off my car radio which also has a USB in front.

Your USB port *probably* doesn't have enough juice to power this device. Most vehicle USB ports only put out 300-500mA. Also, check the reviews for the tunelink - they have a very high failure rate.
