In normal use, two AA 1.5 V alkaline batteries (BAT 001) will last about 8 hours in the
T1-216 Transmitter and approximately 20 hours in the R1-216 Receiver. If the sound becomes weak
or distorted, replace the batteries. Do not leave dead batteries in the receivers. Battery corrosion is

ATTERIES
The T1-216 Transmitter and R1-216 Receivers can use rechargeable AA batteries
(BAT 026). On an overnight charge, these NiMH batteries are designed to operate a T1-216
Transmitter for approximately 6 hours, and R1-216 Receivers for 14 hours.
The battery installed in the receiver may be recharged in the receiver only if it is a NiMH battery,
and only if a Williams Sound CHG 1600 Multi-Charger is used. Damage from improper charging is
not covered by the Williams Sound five year warranty.
Important Rechargeable Battery Information
Rechargeable batteries are shipped in a discharged condition. They must be charged for a complete
charge cycle before the first use (approximately 15 hours). Rechargeable batteries will need to be
replaced after 1-2 years of use. Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Do not open batteries - toxic
chemicals inside.
