What does the unit do to indicate the battery connection once locked in cradle? I have 12V @ pins but no indication of unit charging.

Steve-O, several things will happen when the GPS sees 12VDC: GPS will beep, it will turn on, the battery icon in the upper right will show a lightning bolt. With the GPS off, a large battery icon will show power remaining as well as a lightning bolt. when you disconnect 12VDC, the GPS will ask you if you want to remain on battery power or turn off. Hope this helps.

Steve,My Montana 600 only indicates charging when I mount the GPS into the dock and powered the unit off. Consequently, if I dock the unit while it's turned off, it automatically turns on. Also, if I power the unit off while in the dock, the screen will be very dimly lit and display a segmented battery symbol with incremental segments colored green. Hope this helps and best regards,Rey.

When you mount the unit into the cradle, and when the unit turns on after it receives power (depending if you have switched or unswitched power), it is being charged. The main menu displays a battery icon, green is good.

It does sit in the cradle to charge. It sits pretty easily but you have to make sure you get it in there right.

There should be two positive/negative contact markings on the battery. Make sure those line up with the contacts on the charger. The light should turn purple once an uncharged battery is put in correctly. When not charging a battery the light will be blue. Here's a picture: http://imgur.com/uYFAktx . It's upside down in that photo to accomodate my other plugs, but you can see how the battery is oriented.

This cradle is different that one that I had bought, so I would not know. I also see that it does not charge an additional batter from the pictures

No, but it will tell you at the bottom where to connect the solar and the battery. I haven't use the load yet. The color from this panel will also tell you where the positive (+) and the negative (-) are. Make sure the connector to your battery is in the correct place. You will know it if you placed the connections wrong, because the light on the panel will dim. If you placed it correctly, then the charging light is brightly lit. If you battery is already fully charged, the high voltage light will lit up. Mine goes on and off alternating with the charging light indicator. Correct me if I'm wrong, I assume it's doing the float mode. No, but it will tell you at the bottom where to connect the solar and the battery. I haven't use the load yet.

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.

Hmm, good question. I wonder if the connection to the battery is bad? Maybe it was connected for the first 14 hours and then got jarred loose somehow? I would probably take the battery out and put it back in, making sure that the contacts seem to be clean and touching. If that doesn't do anything, I would call a local battery store and see if they have any way of testing the battery to see if it is good. If there is nothing obvious wrong with the battery, I would probably call the company that installed the unit and see if they have any suggestions. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hi Hasan, Dumb question, did you charge the cradle first? You can tell if it has a change by turning it to GPS and touching the button below it. If the blue lights come on you are good to go. If not, switch it to Battery and charge it for a few hours. This is not a BT device, so there is no need to search for it. You should be able to attach your touch to it, turn it to GPS, and then launch your GPS software. I had one for my 4th gen touch and it worked great with the Garmin driving software... until iOS6 came out. Once I upgraded to iOS6, it wouldn't work. I got frustrated with it, and since I was due for a new phone, I went Android with a built in GPS. I really think that iOS is the issue, as mine was great until then. But like I said, I gave up after playing with it for about 3 hours. I suggest you contact Dual if nothing else works. James

You attach the battery charge cord to the back of this cradle then drop the phone in the cradle. It will charge then using the two external contacts.

i was having this issue as well...but i read that there is a RED light that turns on when the battery is charging...so i played with the USB that is plugged into the unit, and found that the red light turns on when its plugged about HALFWAY in. i checked, and it IS in fact charging. try adjusting the B side of the USB (mini part thats in the actual unit) before you return it.

I am just a customer, like you, but the power indicator light on my receiver is not visible unless it is lit, then it appears right next to the charging port. Perhaps if you charge it you will see the red indicator light.

Yes,set braun in to cradle, and charge will begin.Bought mine for a roadtrip charger.Other wise I use the base cradle that came with my original toothbrush set.

No, you just push down on the controller once set in the cradle and it "clicks" into place and starts charging. It's instant.

The front facing lights are on. The up facing when lights go out or if unplugged when on auto. Cradle does not have an indicator light.

I don't know. You could open your phone and look where the battery is and see if there are two brass connections points on the right side of where the battery sits. This is what the adapter that sticks on to your battery connects to in the electronic charging system. I absolutely love this system, since my phone will not charge at all thru the usb port. Good luck!

No the only indicator for the dock batterie is the small light near the power switch. I've searched and searched because I can't believe asus would put in such a simple but useful feature :/ but they didn't you just have to live with it
