Note: The transmitter will not pass RF or audio signals when connected to the charging cable.

The following battery charging options are available:

Charging from an AC Power Source

Plug the charging cable into the charging port on the transmitter.

Plug the charging cable into an AC power source.

Charging Times and Transmitter Runtimes

Use the following table to determine approximate battery runtime based on the duration of charging time when in 5.8 GHz

mode. Times shown are in hours and minutes. Transmitters automatically poweroff after approximately 1 hour to conserve bat

tery life if the signal from a linked receiver is not detected.

Receiver Bay or AC Power Source Charging Transmitter Runtime

0:15 up to 1:30

0:30 up to 3:00

1:00 up to 6:00

3:00 up to 11:30*

*Storage time or excessive heat will reduce maximum runtime.

Note: If receiver is powered off and remains plugged in, battery will continue charging.

Transmitter Battery Meter

The number of segments illuminated on the meter indicates the remaining battery life for a linked transmitter:

①= > 30 min

②= > 2 hours

③= > 4 hours

④= > 6 hours

⑤= > 8 hours

⑥= > 10 hours

⑦= > 11.5 hours
