Just got a Dues II today, been using a Nox 800 most recently, so new to the XP family.

Two Questions,
1. How do I know when it's charged? Is it that the light has a long blink on the coil, and the battery full indicator flashes full on the headphones and RC.
2. Does anyone use behind the ear hearing aids with the WS6 headphones? Any tips for using both at the same time?

Here goes my climb on the learning curve! Which me luck!

Welcome aboard! The coil is charged in about 3 hours with a steady light on the coil. When you remove the charging clip the light on the coil will blink once every 3 seconds.
The RC and WSR will flash a full battery icon on screens.
Good luck!

So there is no “fully charged” coil indicator? During charging, the light remains constant regardless of how low or fully charged the coil is?
Received mine, put it on the charger, and light remained constant straight out of the box.
Question: Does the constant light mean the coil is fully charged, or that the coil is connected and charging properly?

I assume it would be the same as the Deus 1, the coil light stays on while charging. When it's fully charged the light will blink. So if your coil light is not blinking, it's still charging.

Thank you all. I did read the manual, but I couldn’t figure out the cartoons of blinking lights. The cartoons now make sense…lol.. .So once switched on, the coil will rapidly flash, followed by three long flashes=100% charged, or 2 long flashes=60%, , or 1 long flash=30% charged. HuntinDog. If it’s still there after i post, sorry about the double quotes. Have no idea how to delete quotes once initiated.

When you have the coil on the charger it will have a solid light.
Once it has reached full charge (+-3hrs) it will blink on and off in n3 second intervals.
The light also blinks on standby when not on charge or in use.
