fmGenie Fast Track Guide
for use with neck loops
This Fast Track Guide takes you through the basic steps required to get your
fmGenie working with an inductive neck loop.
Part 1 Batteries
The fmGenie uses standard size AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries are the
recommended option and, once fitted, are charged ʻin situʼ ‒ just like a mobile
phone.
Rechargeable batteries ‒ nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
New rechargeable batteries require charging before use.
1 To fit the batteries, slide open the battery cover
and insert as shown. The technique is a
combination of ʻsqueeze, thumb and wiggleʼ
‒ you wonʼt break it and the firm fit stops the
battery cover accidentally falling off.
2 Do NOT turn on the fmGenie.
3 Plug the twin tail charger into the socket marked ʻChgʼ
and turn on charger ‒ rolling battery bars should be
visible on the right of the status display.
4 The equipment will be given an initial 4 hour charge
‒ enough for a few daysʼ use.
5 When the display goes blank, fmGenie is ready for use.
After this initial charge, your fmGenie will automatically take either a
full or top up charge as required.
Alkaline batteries
The fmGenie can also be used with alkaline AA batteries ‒
which can be useful in an emergency ‒ you could even borrow
some from your TV remote controls!
The performance is the same whatever type of AA battery is used.
