Allow Pro 3 - battery indicators for charging and charged on camera

[nate99]

I just purchased and Argo Pro 3 system.  The quick guide says to put in batteries and charge. It doesn’t say how to tell if charging and when charged.  I tried to search the manual.  Nothing.  Search internet and can only find for older models that say a light will turn blue.  I’ve had one plugged in 12 hours and still no blue light.  Anyone know how you tell if currently charging?  Then how to know when charged?

It may be that the power connection hasn't actually been made. You should be able to sync the camera with the existing battery condition in most cases so try doing that. You would then be able to see the battery percentage as well as determine if power has been connected (the battery icon would have a lightning bolt across it). 

When first connecting power, the blue LED should briefly flash to let you know power is connected. Does it do that?

I hadn’t hooked up to the base or app. I was trying to follow instructions that it gave 🤷🏻‍♂️... saying you should charge batteries. The blue light came on when plugged in but didn’t stay on.

I had the same issue if I remember, leave one camera plugged in and only start by adding that one to the base, when it shows fully charged then plug the other in and then add that to the base until charged ( man's you can get used to the system aswell whilst charging them up

That's right.You now know that charging has started.

The LED  will turn solid blue and stay on when the battery is fully charged. At least, it will unless you have disabled the indicator.
