The fmGenie uses standard size AA batteries. Rechargeable batteries are
the recommended option and, once fitted, are charged ‘in situ’ – just like
a mobile phone.
Rechargeable batteries – nickel metal hydride (NiMH)
New rechargeable batteries require charging before use.
1 To fit the batteries, slide open the battery
cover and insert as shown. The technique
is a combination of ‘squeeze, thumb and
wiggle’– you won’t break it and the
firm fit stops the battery cover accidentally
falling off.
3 Plug the twin tail charger into the socket marked
‘Chg’ and turn on charger – rolling battery bars
should be visible on the right of the status display.
4 The equipment will be given an initial 4 hour charge –
5 When display goes blank, the fmGenie is ready for use.
Non Rechargeable Alkaline batteries
The fmGenie can also be used with alkaline AA batteries – which
can be useful in an emergency – you could even borrow
some from your TV remote control!
The performance is the same whatever type of AA battery is used.
