Rechargeable batteries and charging
You can expect up to 10 hours listening from a fully charged battery. However
this may be reduced according to the volume setting of the receiver and the type
of programme being watched.
If, whilst listening, the sound stops or the sound quality becomes noisy or
distorted the receiver battery has become discharged and will need charging
before further use.
You may wish to purchase a second battery to increase your listening time. A
second or third battery may be placed in either of the charging sockets on the
sides of the transmitter. These extra batteries can be charged whilst listening. If
your battery becomes discharged whilst listening you can simply swap batteries
to continue listening. A flat battery will be recharged in about 14 hours.
Red indicator lights will show in the front of the transmitter if a battery is being
charged. Each light corresponds to a charging position; one for the receiver
cradle and one for each of the charging sockets.
NOTE: If using the receiver cradle to charge a battery please ensure that the
receiver is placed centrally such that the charging light is lit otherwise charging
will NOT happen. When using the side charging sockets please ensure the
batteries are pushed in until the corresponding light is lit.
The mains power to the transmitter must be left on for the batteries to recharge.
The charging control lights show red at all times when charging and do not
change colour. They only indicate the presence of a battery in the charging
position and do not indicate that a battery is being charged. Batteries normally
take about 14 hours to reach full charge.
Other dim lights may show for the infrared system; this is normal operation.
