왘Before using the rechargeable batteries for the first time,

charge them for at least 3 hours.

Charging the receiver

corresponding LED lights up green.

For further information on charging, refer to the instruction manual of

the L 300 10-10 or to the instruction manual of the corresponding

Sennheiser infra-red hearing system.

Charging the rechargeable battery separately

When a rechargeable battery is discharged, you can use the receiver

with an optional spare rechargeable battery:

왘Remove the discharged battery from the receiver and recharge the

battery in the L 300 10-10 charger or in the Sennheiser infra-red

transmitter.

To remove the receiver’s discharged battery:

왘Pull the battery out of the receiver’s battery

compartment.

To insert the receiver’s battery:

왘Insert the battery into the receiver and slide

the battery into the battery compartment as

far as it will go.

that it is fully charged when needed. The intelligent battery
