The WIDEX mRIC CHARGE n CLEAN (WPC101 model) is a charger designed for indoor use, specifically for detecting, charging, and maintaining MRR2D hearing aids. It features a compact design with individual charging units for each hearing aid, a maintenance compartment for the receivers, and a light indicator with three lights to show the charging status of the hearing aids and the status of the maintenance cycle.
Function Description:
The charger is designed to simultaneously charge two hearing aids. Each hearing aid can also be charged individually, depending on its battery status. A full charge takes approximately 4 hours, and a 30-minute charge provides about 4 hours of use. While the hearing aids are charging, a maintenance cycle is performed, which includes Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) treatment and drying. This maintenance cycle lasts 30 minutes.
