Connect the AC power cable to the charging base and connect  
the power supply to a power outlet using the appropriate adapter. 

3. 

Carefully set the transmitter down onto the charging base.

4. 

The LED will blink blue to indicate the battery is charging. The LED will turn 
off when the unit goes to sleep.

5. 

Disconnect the transmitter from the charging base once charging is 
complete and disconnect the power supply from the power outlet.

CAuTION:

 Never leave a charging battery unattended.
