Hmm, mine battery was DOA. Casey gave me his battery, removed the current protector, seemed nominal 3.7V.
However, after leaving it on charge for about 4 hours, there was no led showing. I turn it on I get a red LED and some beeps (sounds like its going ok), but no radio signal picked up by base station. Sounds like: dash-dash-dash LONG PAUSE dash-dash PAUSE dit-dit When I put it into charge again though it shows a yellow/orange color -- which the manual says is a bad battery? Any ideas, or do I need to just order some new batteries? Cheers, Winton On Fri, Dec 5, 2014 at 10:33 AM, Winton H. E.
