The system consists of two components, the main unit, stylishly constructed from ABS plastic, and a plug-in power adaptor. It incorporates a rechargeable battery system to maintain performance at its peak and will give a maximum of 24 hours use. The battery life is monitored at all times using standby mode, incorporating a two-colour display to show battery status. The display also shows that the unit is operational, as it flashes in conjunction with any sounds present.The unit is fully operational at all times and may still be used when recharging becomes necessary. An in-built socket allows for expansion using an optional boundary microphone. The IL-PL20 portable induction loop is easy to carry and can be easily set up for use in a matter of seconds.
