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-208 wall transformer or dropped into a Listen charging case, NiMH batteries will be charged.

To charge the batteries using the LA-208 wall transformer, plug the transformer 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.

There are several charging cases available from Listen. Check the Listen website 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.

Connect LA-208 here and plug it into an AC wall outlet.

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.

3During the charge cycle, the red LED on top of the Listen product will flash slowly. When charging is completed, the LED will turn off. It is not necessary to unplug the charger; however, if you unplug the unit from the charger and then plug it back in, it will begin the 13-hour charge cycle over again.

When not using the LT-700, it is recommended to leave the unit on the charger. The charger provides a maintenance charge that keeps the battery at 100%. If the unit is not on the charger, the battery will lose up to 20% of its charge per month.

NOTE: Listen uses 2300mAh (milli-Amp-hour) constant current NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries. These may be purchased from your Listen dealer (ask for part number LA-362).
