Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Charger LED does not light up.
  • No power to the charger.
  • Incorrect voltage input.
  • Faulty power adapter or charger base.
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the charger base and a live 240V AC wall outlet.
  • Important: This charger is designed for 240 Volts input. Using it with a 110V/120V supply (e.g., in the US without a voltage converter) will prevent it from working. Verify your local power supply voltage.
  • Try a different power outlet. If the issue persists, the unit may be faulty.
Battery/Radio not charging (LED remains off or flashes).
  • Battery/radio not properly seated.
  • Battery is not compatible.
  • Battery is fully charged.
  • Battery is defective.
  • Remove and re-insert the battery/radio, ensuring it is firmly seated and contacts the charging terminals.
  • Verify that your battery model is listed under the "Compatibility" section.
  • If the LED is green, the battery is already fully charged.
  • Try charging a different, known-good compatible battery. If it charges, the original battery may be defective.
