What does a blinking light mean? Does this mean that the batts have reached their service limit?

The Sony charger's indicator light will blink if you have inserted a wrong battery type (alkaline cell) into the slot. In your case, it probably means one or more of your cells are getting too old and have developed high internal resistance. The charger considers it to be an alkaline cell and refuses to charge it. Try inerting only one cell at a time, and see which one is causing the problem. Then you can still use the good ones for light load appliances. Bottom line is you need to buy new rechargeable cells. Please take this opportunity to learn about the merits of low-self-discharge (aka Pre-Charged) cells such as Sanyo eneloop and Rayovac Hybrid. To dispose used rechargeable cells: NiMH cells are not as toxic as NiCd cells, but it is not Green to dump them in the garbage (actually, it is also not Green to dump alkaline cells in the garbage either, even though they are called 'disposable'). Check your work place, school or town office. Most large organizations have special places for collecting used batteries.

I believe the "batt low light on the panel flashing every 1.5 seconds refers to the backup battery. When the remote wireless sensors have low batteries, they will exhibit "odd" flashing and a number will appear on the LCD screen of the panel denoting which sensor has a failed battery. I placed numbers on my 5 sensors so I could locate the failed unit when indicated by the number on the panel screen. Here's the language from the MACE Manual; "When the battery is running low the LED will flash every 1.5 seconds to indicate the low battery. When a wireless sensor's battery is low, the LCD will show the battery icon and the sensor zone number." "When the battery is running low on the accessories, the LED light will go on for 3 seconds and off for 1 second. Change batteries immediately to ensure continuous operation of the security system".

The red light blinking is low toner indicator. Make sure you removed the paper strip.

Sounds like the charger. It's supposed to blink blue when the battery on it is charged.

Hello . Am I never expirienced that with mine. The problem was it kept freezing and the screen kept blinking so I returned it back for full refund. I think it can be fixed I just didn't waste time.

The blinking light is when the battery is charging. The solid red is when the battery is fully charged.

That means the battery is low on battery, if is connected to the charger then it means still needs charge, once is full charged the battery light will be solid. The bottom light is the GSM indicator and the top light is the GPS. Once the device is activated, you should see the bottom and top light blinking.

HI - I am not an expert.....not even a novice....but we aslso bought these and when they are charging from any active USB port (i.e. - is your computer or TV turned on?) --it should blink red as it is charging and then green when fully charged......If not ...it is defective. Good luck

I didn't know what it was for either until one day the light fell off my head in a dark crawl space and I had to go looking for it in the dark. Then I was very thankful for the red blinking light. Also, I think it is to let you know that the battery is not dead.

This is a common issue with this model. Count the number of times it blinks. It is most likely that one of the internal boards need to be replaced. At least this was the case for the one I bought.

Yes, a blinking green light means it is charging. A rapid blink means the battery is bad. A green light means it is charged.

Yes they blink until it's fully charged. The blinking led shows how far it's charged at the moment. The LEDs will all be solid when it's fully charged

Sometimes the food is sitting on the strips. Switched to cat food, made sure it was sitting to the rear of the device and it worked without blinking. Also, blinking could also be the device had a "trip" occasion, but mouse could have still gotten free.....so red light usually means something created the electrical interruption and the red light illuminate. Ne patent.
