Does it hurt to leave this installed in the docking station all the time?

Only able to use bose speaker with this item. Only plug it on wall outlet when in use; other wise don't leave plug in all the time. The receiver stays on the docking station.

Yes, it does as long as you continue to power up the docking station, which isn't the best use of energy cost. Since I don't use my radio outside the dock, I rely on the dock to keep my radio powered up.

what do you mean by docking station? if what you mean is to use this to access what is in your Goflex external hard drives, YES, you can use this but still needs to be connected to the modem/router. anybody who is connected to that network will see what's in your external hard drive. FYI... every now and then you are going to have problem accessing your hard drives, all you got to do is turn it off, then turn back ON...

My case needed to be removed before placing it on the dock- I think most would need to e removed

Unfortunately, I purchased the kidigi docking station and it is not charging. I based this on the advice from Staples and the feedback on this blog.I had taken my tablet to Staples (where I purchased it about 2 years ago) and the Tech guys said the docking station would work because the tablet has the inductive slots in the lower right corner. I'm wasting money. Could the tablet have damage to the motherboard which prevents it from charging?

Yes, the cover needs to be removed prior to charging it on the docking station, or using it on the docking station with the keyboard. You can also use the propped case/cover with the keyboard up close to it.

When I was using it, I did not have any issues with regards to the keyboard dock. The protector remained in place without issue and did not impede docking functionality.

I leave mine on all the time. Over three months now. There doesn't seem to be any harm in doing so.

No. It's more for charging station. I never used the cleaning system after the first batch. It wastes too much of the solution and the alcohol smell from thesolution is way too sstrong. But I do enjoy having the dock over having it plugged directly to a charger and laying around. Looks much better.

The docking station is a small round plate that sits on the floor. It connects to the electric outlet with an electric cord that is hardwired to the plate. It is not bulky or obtrusive. Enjoy the dust buster it is the best.

The only soultion I can really offer is just making your screen auto-turn off after a few seconds. I noticed that problem as well, though I don't mind it because I'm actively using the dock to display temp, speedometer, etc. so I don't really turn off the screen.And of course, you shouldn't have to, as the battery should be charging while it's docked.

No--the dock is not self-contained. You have to attach it to portable or car player unit. Just FYI I gave up my Sirus because of the poor reception indoors. Do your research on satellite radio carefully before buying.

For docking you need to take case off. Can you a charging cord without removing case.

Kinda prefer hard drive docking stations actually. Especially ones straight up and down. Easier on the motor. One I'm using is Vantec e-sata in white. Think it only goes to 3TB so when I go to 4 TB I gotta look for a new one. I mostly prefer it because I can stick a 3-4 inch mini fan behind it if it gets too warm. And cases don't do much for heat dissipation even the ones that are supposed to. Only one that did they don't make anymore :(

No, there is a place to rest your iPod, but no docking station. It does come with a USB cord to plug in and my daughter is almost certain you can charge it that way. She's going to try it out tomorrow and I'll get back to you. She absolutely loves this! I will tell you we had to replace the first one, the left speaker did not work, but the replacement works great!

What do you want to know? I haven't upgraded from 2.1 yet. It still gets lost sometimes, still doesn't always dock right, has stopped by the docking station and asked to be plugged in (not docked), sometimes goes in the wrong direction to get back to the docking station but usually eventually finds its way, sometimes gets confused and obsessive about a particular complex area usually involving chair legs. I've had it since Jan 9, 2012. Most of the power cuts to the vacuum seem to be over areas already cleaned or when stuck. Mine is scheduled to clean twice a week. I've got about 1550 sf shaped in an odd pattern so it has to recharge to finish it all. What do you want to know? I haven't upgraded from 2.1 yet.

Docking station for what? This computer over heats all the time and the left side needs to always be exposed. I wouldn't recommend purchasing it.
