SOURCE: Radio won't charge!

I don't know that I have your solution, but I do have a few troubleshooting tips.

Flashing typically means: your battery is possibly old, bad or is not making good contact. Clean your battery contacts with a pencil eraser to ensure they are making good contact with the charger. Also check your charger contact to see that they are free of debris. They can also be carefully cleaned with an eraser. (Do not use any type of solvents on either contacts.)

Second, check the date code on your battery. It is 3 or 4 digit number on the label. Batteries last approx. 18-24 months before starting to fail. Here is how to read the code: 835 would be 2008 the 35th week. If the battery is more than 2 years old, you should consider replacing it.

It is wise to have your radio turned off while on the charger. You can cause harm to the radio if you inadvertently press the PTT while the radio is on the charger. Plus, your radio will never fully charge if left on.

SOURCE: Motorola CLS 1450c radios microphone problem.

The problem you are experiencing is not a mic problem, or the problem would also be associated with the two-way radio portion of the radio. Your radio is either in need of repair or you have a bad, low or defective battery. It takes more energy to transmit or use the unit as a phone than to simply receive.

If your radio is under warranty (less than 1 yr old) you can return it to the place of purchase for warranty replacement or service. After warranty repair is also available through Motorola's factory depot. Ask your local dealer.

SOURCE: My Motorola CLS1110 Two way

You may have a bad battery, or even dirty battery contacts. A few troubleshooting ideas include:
1) Swap the battery to another known good CLS1110 radio and see if the other radio has the same problem when placed on the charger. If so, you have a bad battery. This type of battery typically lasts approx. 18-24 months before needing replaced.
2) If swapping the battery proves to be successful, check the battery contacts on the affected radio for debris, scum or dirt. Clean the contacts on the charger and the radio with a pencil eraser if needed. (The fact you have to readjust the walkie in the charger indicates you might have problems with the contacts.)
3) Try the battery from the known good radio in the affected radio, if the battery charges correctly, you know the radio is fine. If the charger blinks with the known good battery, then you know you have a radio problem.

Best regards.

Red light flashing motorola 56531

Clean your contacts on both the radio and charge with a pencil eraser to assure good connection. Also, test the pockets by trying the same radio that will successfully charge in a good pocket in the non-functioning pockets. If they still blink red, you have 4 bad pockets.

Hi Mark,

I'm confused... you state phone is charged!!!!

Is this a 2-way radio or a phone? If the latter applies you need to post on the apropriate forum, this forum is for 2-way radios.

Cheers,
Peter

I have a gp300 6 port charger, when charging the red charge light flashes, what does this indicate.

What does the little sticker on the bottom of the charger tell you? It seems to me that a blinking red light means that the battery is so old that it will no longer take a charge and that it's time to replace the battery.

The battery is flashing red when charging

You do not mention which model of Motorola radio you are charging, so this will be basic information: Typically if a charger blinks red when the battery is initially put on the charger, you either have:
1) Dirt contacts. Solution: Clean with pencil eraser, both radio and charger contacts.
2) Shorted or bad battery. Solution: Replace the battery.
3) A bad charger. Replace charger.

Some simple troubleshooting might determine your problem. Try the battery on a different charger and see if you get the same blinking light. If so, you have a battery issue. If the problem disappears when you place it on the known good charger, then you know you have a charger issue.

Best regards.

We purchased 10 new units with individual rechargers to go into classrooms. We checked them out and they worked beautifully. Now, more than half of the units will not take a charge and the rechargers...

The fast blinking light indicates a problem such as a bad battery, bad connection, or battery installed incorrectly.

1) Clean contacts on radio and in charger base with a pencil eraser to remove any residue or film. (Just the normal oil from your hands can eventually cause a film of dirt to be on the radio.)

Finding the problem is a process of elimination:

2) Test the suspect radio on a different charger.

3) Test the suspect radio with a different battery installed.

4) Conversely, test the charger and the suspect battery with a known good radio.

You should easily be able to narrow down what is causing the problem. Your radios are under warranty. Contact the vendor and have them replace defective items.

Best regards.
