SOURCE: low battery icon on Midland LXT350 walkie-talkies
Your LXT350 is equipped for using an optional rechargeable NiMH battery pack which can be recharged by inserting the AC adapter into the radio charge jack, or with the optional desktop charger.
I would make sure the radio is off, then insert the charger. Charge only for the prescribed time (no more/no less) and remove from the charger.
Charge time is initially 24 hours. Charge time is about 12 hours thereafter. For maximum battery life, it is recommend charging the battery pack when the low battery icon comes on. Remove the radios from the charger when the charge time expires.

Hello ddzepp;
I apologies but this site does not represent any manufacturer or company. This site is made up of many technicians like my self that volunteer to help others with technical issues concerning thier equipment. As for your problem you would need to contact the company that makes your product and ask them to resolve your issue with this charger.

If you are referring to a flashing yellow light on the charging base, this is an error code. Either the 1) battery is bad, 2) not making good contact in the charger, or 3) very very low on charge. The solution for this set of problems is as follows: 1) have the company you purchased them from replace them, 2) clean your contacts with a pencil eraser, 3) leave the battery on the charger with the yellow light flashing for an hour or two. If the battery is just very low on a charge, it will come back to life and the light will change to be constant. If the battery is bad or shorted out, the light will continue to flash and you will need to get with the vendor you purchased the batteries from.
Other things which come to mind are compatibility issues such as you are using a different battery chemistry than you had before. NiCd batteries can charge on either of the two chargers available for the P110 (slow rate or fast rate). However, NiMH and Li-Ion batteries require a fast rate charger.
If you are referring to a yellow blinking light on the radio while it is in the charger. You need to shut your radio off. Radios should always be turned off when charging. If the radio is left on you will never have a full charge. Also, if you inadvertently press the PTT while the radio is turned on, while on a charger, you can cause damage to the radio.
FYI: There is no light to show "out of range" on the radio, unless you are possibly using a trunking or repeater system. A blinking light on your radio indicates the radio is turned on and/or there is traffic on your frequency. Your charger base light can be red, yellow or green. This indicates the charge cycle status. Flashing most always means some type of error.
Best regards

This is more for "mshtexas" than the OP but I'm sure there may be others out there wondering the same thing. The power cord that comes with this unit has a 9.0v output at 200mA with the center pin being positive

I CONTACTED COBRA AND THEY STATED THAT THERE ISN'T A CHARGE INDICATOR ON THE MODEL. WHEN YOU ARE USING IT AND THE BATTERY GETS LOW, THERE IS A LOW BATTERY LIGHT THAT FLASHES TO SHOW IT NEED A CHARGE. WHEN YOU POWER THE 2WAY UP IT SHOWS THE LOW BATTERY INDICATOR SHOWING 1/4 CHARGE. I THINK PEOPLE ARE THINKING THAT IT IS SUPPOSE TO SHOW FULL CHARGE(IT IS NOT A INDICATOR OF THAT). IT JUSTS FLASHES THE SAME LOOK TO SHOW IT IS TIME TO CHARGE.
