An IR Remote makes interaction with the device easy.

Once you enable audio through USB, the dock is ready for use. It can be used in speaker mode connected to computer and at the same time charge the android device. It can be used in dock mode without external cables.
Turn off the main switch connected to Micro USB female when using in standalone dock mode. When changing from speaker to dock mode, remove the android device, change it to dock mode and insert it back again.
