The Widex SmartRIC™ is a fully rechargeable hearing aid, using a sleek and stylish portable charger for charging on the go. A fully charged Widex portable charger allows for five full hearing aid charges, providing the wearer over a week of freedom.
CHARGING THE WIDEX SMARTRIC HEARING AIDS
From 0% battery status, a full hearing aid charge will take about four hours.
If the hearing aid battery is less than 40%, fast charging is activated and a 30-minute charge will provide up to eight hours of hearing aid use.
The image shows the portable charger with two hearing aids placed in charging wells. The receiver compartment is visible. Labels point to 'Charging wells', 'Receiver compartment', and 'Hearing aid LED light indicators'.

| Solid green | The hearing aid is fully charged. |
| Flashing green | The hearing aid is charging. |
Note: If the charger is not connected to a power source, short press the on/off button on the bottom of the charger to check the battery status. The light indicators will turn off after 12 seconds.
Other light indications that may appear:
