Charging LED

mgtontop — Wed, 03 May 2017 07:09:39 GMT

Hello, I unpacked my two cameras yesterday, Started charging them to be sure.

The first one, blinked rapidly blue to start with and then went out. After a while the LED was solid blue. That's the way it should be, as I understand it.

The second one, blinked rapidly blue and then one long yellow blink. Then nothing. Charged it over night, disconnected in both ends a few times.

Can't find answers to my question, what is wrong, if any? Battery and all cables are tightly mounted.

Thanks.

The battery packs are supposed to came charged ( tho there always is a small amount of self drain over time )

I would set up the cameras ( the one in question if need be can run with the ac cable/adapter , with or without the batttery installed )

Once set up, it is easy to see the charge level under Settings>camera

If you have any issues, you can always test the seconf camera by swapping battery packs ( from the one that operated correctly )

mgtontop,

Did the batteries show a charge after you completed setup? Please let us know if you're still having any issues.

Hello..!

The battery charged well, in both cameras, at least it says 100% in settings. It was the different LED behaviour that puzzled me.

Thanks
