I just received a used set of Cobra PR240 walkie-talkies. The charging station says "Charge", Does this mean the units arre now charged, or does it mean they are charging?
How do I turn the units ON?
Is there a manual I can download?
Thank you.

This is common. For some reason, the GMRS chargers of all brands break often. Unplug the unit. Try lightly sanding the contacts on the front cup/slot. Make certain you do not push them in too far. If you do, carefully pull them out. They should be bright. Then clean the contacts on the radio. If it still does not work, use a voltmeter and test the power is getting through to the battery from the charging cup. The voltage is DC and should read anywhere from 6-12 volts, maybe more.
If your problem started after replacing the batteries (mine did), see this: http://www.walkie-talkie-radio.co.uk/replacing-cobra-walkie-talkie-rechargeable-batteries.html If that is your problem, you can also fix it by wrapping foil around the bottom of the battery that makes that touches the bottom side charging contact.
