TLC LINKZONE 5G UW . Sep 23, 2024
Can this hotspot (or all hotspots) be plugged in at all times, running off of 120 volt wall socket, rather than on the battery?
Yes. You can connect this hotspot to a charge continuously. When doing so after about 16 hours, the built-in software will manage the charging cycle. The charger will stop charging and allow the battery to discharge to 50% before charging it back up to 60%. It will continue this cycle to maintain a longer battery life. If the battery needs to be charged to 100%, simply disconnect the cable and plug it back in or turn off the hotspot and allow it to charge to 100%. Otherwise, the maximum charge will be between 50-60% charge. - Kevin.
Please reach out to manufacturer for more information. ~Peter

Will this work in my car and will it hook up to apple /android play
Hello, most Apple CarPlay and Android Auto features are not standalone, and they will only work with your phone apps. The Linkzone is a device that allow devices to connect to it via Wi-Fi or USB cable, but it does not have any apps like your phone. Therefore, the setup from your car to the Linkzone may not work. You would need to have a smartphone. Please check your system's setup configuration. Hope this helps. - Kevin.
It will work on your vehicle. ~Peter
