Can I use the Azatom Solo while it's charging?
Yes, you can use the radio while it is plugged in and charging its internal battery.

Typical Bluetooth range is around 10 meters (33 feet) in open spaces, but this can be affected by walls and other interference.
How long does the battery last on a full charge?
