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 2800mAh high capacity rechargeable
AA battery ‒ exposed end
(MBRAAHX1)
.
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.
Using the Swift
TX
on external power
Connecting a charger automatically turns off the Swift
TX
and starts charging it (red
indicator). During charging, a press of the ON/OFF button will suspend charging and return
the unit to ON (green indicator) ‒ in this mode, although the battery needs to be fitted, the
Swift
TX
is now powered from the charger rather than the battery.
Using external power will preserve battery life when connected to an external sound source.

The two parts of the neck clasp
may be pushed together or
pulled apart either directly or
by sliding.
Adjusting the neck strap
Correct positioning of a pendant transmitter is important. The Swift
TX
pendant should be worn so that the emitter faces forwards and the unit
rests about 150mm (the length of a biro) below the mouth ‒ this means it
should sit just below your collarbone.
Both straps can be easily adjusted as required, using the sliders.
Note ‒ replacement straps are available, please see Appendix B.
To turn on the Swift
TX
press and hold the on button until the status indicator lights. Similarly
to turn off or mute the Swift
TX
press and hold the button until the indicator goes out.
