The LR-300 Digital Receiver is a low-cost digital receiver. It has the same exceptional audio quality as Listen's full-featured receivers and the same convenient recharging options. The LR-300 does not use an LCD, but instead a multi-function LED. The LR-300 utilizes the 17 most common wide band channels, with a SEEK channel selection
button located behind a lockable door panel. It takes AA batteries (alkaline or NiMH rechargeable). SmartChargeTM capabilities prevent overcharging. An LED indicates power to the unit.
Please Note: Does not include batteries or earphone/headphone
Exceptional audio quality! 80 dB signal-to-noise ratio!
17 field tunable channels (unless electronically locked on one channel).
SEEK button behind mechanically locking door, thus discouraging end users from changing the channel selected.
Excellent for schools, language interpretation, museums, and tour group applications where users do not change channels
100 % Digital - Listen receivers are digitally-tuned so transmission won't drift; assurance that when you select
a channel, it stays on channel!
Built in SmartCharge™ won't allow batteries to overcharge! Charging circuitry is conveniently built
into Listen's receivers; never worry about unplugging a transformer at a certain time.
Transformer charging plug or for the ultimate in convenience drop in charging contacts.

1. Line-level earphone jack (3. 5 mm) accepts either mono or stereo headsets. Receiver antenna is built into the earphone cord, eliminating additional wires while maximizing receiver effectiveness.
2. Multifunction LED indicates power on, if batteries are low, and charging status.
3. Easy on/off volume control.
4. Manually lockable battery compartment door.
5. Exclusive belt clip “loop” prevents unit from slipping off belt or strap.
6. Charging plug port.
7. Digitally tuned with SEEK button behind manually lockable door. Electronically lock on channel by holding the SEEK button down 5 seconds to prevent tampering.
8. Uses two AA batteries. Selectable to use either alkaline or Listen's advanced NiMH Rechargeable AA Batteries. SmartCharge™ incorporated into receiver makes sure each unit receives the most beneficial charge.
9. When enabled, SQ provides highest audio quality available in its product category. SQ can be disabled for compatibility with other assistive listening equipment.
10. Contact points for Listen's drop in charging cases.

FAQs
Q. What is the difference between the LR-300 and the LR-400?
A. The LR-400 is more "user friendly" because it has the LCD Display, which will show the channel selection, battery life and signal strength.
Q. Is the LR-300 a single channel receiver?
A. No, this is a 17 channel wide-band receiver.
Q. Does this receiver sound as good as your other receivers, which are more expensive?
A. Yes, all Listen receivers have the same superior audio quality.
Q. How many receivers can I have in a system?
A. As many as you need, the number is endless.
Q. Can I use the LR-300 with the LT-700?
A. If using the LT-700 portable transmitter we DO NOT recommend using the LR-300 with it. The LR-300 was designed to be used with the LT-800 transmitter only.
