Troubleshooting Problems Indicated by LED

Honeywell Talkman devices, chargers and the SRX headset and its charger have LEDs that indicate the state of the equipment. These LEDs may be on, off or blink. In some cases an LED blinks, alternating between two colors.

If the LEDs indicate that there is a problem, follow the troubleshooting steps to solve the problem.

  1. Check the battery contacts and the charger contacts for dirt or other obstructions that might prevent the contacts from connecting properly.
  2. Clean the contacts, if necessary.
    • Use an isopropyl alcohol (isopropanol) swab or soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to clean metal connection points.
    • If dirt or residue cannot be removed with the alcohol swab or cloth, use a soft, non-abrasive rubber eraser to clean metal connection points. You can also use a three-row toothbrush style, general cleaning brush with natural hog hair bristles to gently brush away dirt on the contacts.
    • Wipe again with isopropyl alcohol.
  3. Try various combinations of batteries and chargers to determine if the condition is specific to the battery or to the charger.
    • If the condition is specific to the battery, give the battery to your system administrator.
    • If the condition is specific to the charger, disconnect the charger from its power source for about five seconds, then reconnect it. Test the charger with a battery. If the same condition occurs, return the charger for service.
