Dirt or foreign objects are in the battery
well.
Battery pack is not making contact with
charging terminals in the battery well.
Faulty battery pack.

checks the battery pack for correct volt-
age and charge state. During this time
the LED is RED and is continuously ON.
After charging is complete, the LED is
GREEN.
Current could not be sourced through the
battery pack due to age, exhaustion or
damage to the cell(s).
Or
The battery pack does not communicate
with the charger.
The charger's timeout period has ex-
pired.
The battery pack is too hot or too cold to
charge.
MX7 Tecton not fully seated in cradle
Foreign objects inside docking bay or ca-
ble connectors

Solution
Check if the battery pack is part number MX-
7A380BATT / MX7392BATT or a Low Temperature
(CS) Battery : MX7A381BATT / MX7393BATT / MX-
7396BATTERY. If not, do not use.
Remove the object from the battery well.
Unplug cradle from outlet. Remove any dirt or for-
eign objects from battery well.
If the LED continues to stay ON, the cradle may be
defective. Return charger to an authorized service
center.
Push battery pack in firmly. Do not "slam" the battery
pack into the battery well.
Replace battery pack.

Make sure that the battery pack temperature is with-
in specification and retry charging. If problem re-
peats, contact Technical Assistance

Remove battery pack from the cradle and allow it to
adjust to room temperature.
If the battery pack is left in the cradle, it will cool
down or warm to a temperature upon which the cra-
dle will begin the charge cycle. However, depending
on the temperature of the MX7 Tecton battery, it
may take 2-3 hours to adjust. The battery pack can
cool down faster if the battery is not in the battery
well.
