Setting up the TX240 Transmitter NOTICE: THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES ARE SHIPPED IN A DISCHARGED STATE. THE BATTERIES MUST BE CHARGED OVERNIGHT BEFORE USING THE TV TALKER INFRARED SYSTEM. The WIR TX240 Transmitter may be placed on top of a TV or shelf. Place the TX240 Transmitter where it is clearly visible from your listening position. Infrared light behaves like visible light, so it is blocked by solid objects. This confines the signal to the room where the transmitter is located.
