Yes you can, but the filtering on the output may not be very good, 
 and it may not be regulated to 5 volts.   It probably is, but no 
 guarantee.   I would build up a dummy load out of some resistors 
 and check it out that way.  Or you could try powering something 
 that takes 5 volts, but that would be risky.

                                            Regards,

                                              Jim
