– run the rechargeable until they are
completely dead, then charge for 8 hours, use the unit for 15 mins and then charge for
another 8 hours.

A heat sensing switch is included in both the transmitter and receiver rechargeable
battery packs to immediately stop the charging cycle if the temperature of the batteries
rises to unacceptable levels.
