Thank you for the interesting explanations , I want to add if the red LED is flashing then it could be due to dirty contacts

Wish I could find a video explaining all the different sounds the walkies make and what they mean 🤦🏼‍♀️ Mine at work keeps making this 4 or 5 tone sound and I’m losing my mind

The LED light still blinks red after cleaning the contacts. What other steps can be taken to charge the battery or is the battery completely dead?

[@cjleeman3351]

Has anyone come across the charger blinking green without a battery on the charging base? I can't get it to stop blinking green and it doesn't seem to charge when the battery is inserted either. I've tried many known good outlets.

I have an APX 8000 Impres 2 and the charger flashes green and yellow almost always. I have the reconditioning switch turned off, suggesting that the battery or the charger needs to be recalibrate. However, there is nothing in the manual about this. Is my battery bad? The whole setup is less than 3 months old.

Could You help me to fix a battery for a ep350mx?

[@gustavoalvarado1016]

When my radio is on (I have the rdu4160d) it has a red light come on every few seconds but after about some flashes it’s orange and then it goes back to red what does that mean?

[@shelby8386]

When he says "it should be flat" before you recharge your battery does he mean it should be completely drained of charge before placing it on the charger? I'm not sure what else he could be referring to besides maybe the battery being flat against the radio or charger and not bulging or damaged. Is he using a different meaning of the word "flat" , an example would be bins instead of garbage cans, boot instead of car trunk, gaff instead of home. I'm an clueless yank from the US.

Can the tone sound be changed when the battery is low? It makes a different noise then the one in the video

[@TechRentals]

The tone cannot be changed when the battery is low. This tone is found on the Australian model and may differ from Motorola models found in other countries.

Cool

How revive Batterys?

[@Dave-ji1hv]

You should also mention that when the battery is being reconditioned the battery should be left to recondition and not interrupted. If the battery enters a recondition cycle but you want it to charge instead you can but should consider letting the battery recondition overnight.

Ok
