Battery charging

The batteries in all of these transmitters will last approximately 8 hours.

You will usually need to leave the unit recharging at the end of the day. 

To conserve power always remember to switch the transmitter off when
not in use. If a second transmitter is only occasionally used it will need
charging less often.

2.  

Using the external charger

(part no: 

45IRTXHCHG2) plugged into a mains socket. 

Charge time is 12-16 hours from flat (i.e. overnight). 

It is safe to leave on charge for up to 5 days.

When charging, the
multi-colour indicator
will show red. 

The Swift

TX

should last

a full school day with
fully charged batteries 
‒ please contact our
Soundfield technical
helpline for advice
should you experience
short battery life.

There are two ways to charge a Swift

TX

transmitter:

1.  

In situ

, using the 1.3 mm DC ‒ 1.3mm DC charge

lead supplied with the IR Classmate unit. (

Part no.

X0DIV00).  Connect the charge lead into the ‘chg’
socket on the Swift

TX

and plug into the ‘Charge’

socket of the IR Classmate. Charging is
automatically terminated by the wall unit as long as
the door is locked.

Changing the rechargeable battery

The rechargeable battery will only need changing very
occasionally ‒ it should last between 1-2 years.

To open battery compartment, press in the centre of the battery
door with both thumbs and slide off.

The battery door is treated with a clear
anti-slip finish to reduce the tendency
to move when worn.

Pull on ribbon tab to release battery.

Use 

only with the exposed metal end

battery as supplied with the Swift

TX

Other types of battery will not charge.

Rechargeable battery: 
1 x 2700mAh high capacity
rechargeable 
AA battery ‒ exposed end

(MBRAAHX1VAM)

This battery is fitted with the exposed metal end against the spring. 

Position the battery on top of the ribbon tab for easy removal 
next time.

Technical Note ‒ when a battery is first inserted, the Swift

TX

will

automatically test the battery to make sure it has enough charge. 

The indicator will show orange for 5 secs while it is testing, followed by green or red for 1 sec:

Green

the battery has enough charge.     

Red

the battery needs to be recharged.

A flickering indicator or no indicator ‒ the battery has no charge and needs to  be recharged
or replaced.
