ListenPoint Product Line
We have recently experienced some calls regarding the battery indicator on our FM receivers (LR-400 and LR-500) and Portable Transmitter (LT-700). After using the receiver or transmitter for a short time, the indicator on the display will show that the batteries have only half a charge. The issue actually occurs when the NiMH batteries are too low to charge in one charging cycle using a charging case or wall charger. If you are seeing this issue, follow these steps to get the battery back to full charge:
As mentioned in the past, we had a firmware issue with DT 6032 Digital Transmitter. We have resolved this issue and notified all affected customers. If you have purchased one of these items in the past and are noticing any issues, please contact us at support@listentech.com.

LISTEN QUICK TIP
FM Product Low Battery Indication
We have recently experienced some calls regarding the battery indicator on our FM receivers (LR-400 and LR-500) and Portable Transmitter (LT-700). After using the receiver or transmitter for a short time, the indicator on the display will show that the batteries have only half a charge. The issue actually occurs when the NiMH batteries are too low to charge in one charging cycle using a charging case or wall charger. If you are seeing this issue, follow these steps to get the battery back to full charge:
- Place the receiver or transmitter in the case. Be sure to firmly press the unit down in the case so that device is touching the charging pins. NOTE: Never charge unit with lid closed.
- Make sure the LED on the top of the device is blinking (it may take a few seconds to a few minutes for this to happen).
- Let the unit charge for the full 13 hour charging cycle.
- When the cycle is completed, the LED on the top of the device will stay illuminated.
- Pick the receiver up out of the tray for 30 seconds,
- Place it back in the tray for another charging cycle.
- Units should indicate fully charged.
