Charging Batteries - Listen LT-700 User Manual

LT-700 Charging Batteries
The LT-700 and all Listen receivers are unique because they have
SmartCharge™ chargers built in. When any of these units are connected
to an LA-202 wall transformer or dropped into a Listen charging case,
NiMH batteries will be charged.
To charge the batteries using the LA-202 wall transformer, plug the trans-
former into the jack marked "PWR/CHG" on the side of the unit. The
unit can be operated while the batteries are charging.
To charge the batteries using a drop-in charger, simply place the unit into a
slot in the charger and connect the charger to power. Make sure the unit is
fully seated in its slot.
One of several charging cases available from Listen. Check the Listen web-
site for more details.
SmartCharge™ uses a pulse charging, which greatly extends the life of
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. The entire charging process takes
about 13 hours. Listen recommends that you allow the charger to complete
its full cycle every time for maximum battery life.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE ANY TYPE OF BATTERY OTHER THAN NiMH (NICKEL METAL
HYDRIDE) with your Listen equipment. Alkaline batteries may explode when connected to a
charger. Other risks of charging non-NiMH batteries include destruction of property or fire.
IMPORTANT: In order to charge NiMH batteries, the BATTERY SELECT switch in your
Listen product must be set to the NiMH setting. Use a pen or small screwdriver to move the
switch (located in the battery compartment) to the proper position.
