Jack for AC Power Supply (“Wall Cube”)
Use only the wall cube supplied by
Tri-Tronics with the charging cradle.

Cradle Charging Contacts

Battery care tips:
• Charge your system regularly.
• Charge depleted batteries promptly. 
• Charge batteries at room temperature. Allow cold batteries to reach

room temperature before charging.

• If the receiver charging contacts are very dirty, wash the receiver with clean 

water and dry thoroughly before charging so that good contact with the
charger can be made.  Note that the charging cradle is not designed to get wet.

• If the unit is in storage, recharge every four months, and recharge prior to use.

Important: If the cradle light blinks red slowly when the receiver is in the 
cradle, please consult the troubleshooting guide.

Charging System – Receivers
(Two-Hour Recharge)
The new cradle charging system keeps your receiver batteries in better condition
than any previous charging system we’ve used. The charger charges rapidly – only
two hours are needed.

NiMH batteries do not have a “memory” so you can recharge at any time, even if
the batteries have not run down. Also, you can leave the unit (or battery pack
only) on charge in the cradle at all times when it is not in use, without damage to
the batteries. 

To recharge, plug the supplied wall cube into household AC power and plug the
wall cube cord into the cradle.  Insert the receiver into the cradle so that the
receiver charging contacts line up with the cradle charging contacts. There will be
a positive “snap” feel when the receiver locks into the cradle correctly.

Do not charge batteries in especially hot areas such as inside a vehicle.

Keep the vents on both sides of the charger free of dirt and debris. Do not
block the vents.

Charger Light Function
The cradle flashes red and then green briefly when power is applied. When the
receiver is charging at full current, the cradle light will be red. When the system
switches to trickle charge, the cradle light will be green. The receiver is now fully
charged but may be left on charge. If the cradle light is off, power is interrupted,
there is no receiver on the cradle, or the receiver is not properly connected.
