4 Rest the headphones on the processor so that the headphones’ contact point meets the processor’s contact pin while making sure that the CHG indicator lights up.

It takes approx. 16 hours to fully charge the battery (the CHG indicator goes off

when charging is complete).

If the CHG indicator is not lit

Check if the right and left headphones are rested on the processor correctly. The indicator will not light up if the headphones’ contact point does not meet the processor’s contact pin. In this case, remove the headphones and place them on the processor again so that the indicator lights up.

To recharge the headphone battery after use

Place the headphones on the processor after use. The CHG indicator lights up, and the DECODE MODE indicator goes off, and then charging starts.

Since the built-in timer recognizes when charging is complete (approx. 16 hours), there is no need to remove the headphones from the processor after charging has completed.

Notes

The processor automatically turns off while charging the batteries.

This system is designed to charge only the supplied rechargeable batteries, type BP-HP550 for safety. Note that other types of rechargeable batteries cannot be charged with this system.

If dry batteries are installed, they cannot be charged.

Do not attempt to use the supplied BP-HP550 rechargeable batteries for other components. They are for use with this system only.

Charge in an environmental temperature of between 0˚C and 40˚C (between 32˚F and 104˚F).

Do not touch the contact pins of the processor. If a contact pin becomes dirty, charge may not be possible.
