If the red charge light is not visible on some or all charging slots, review the following recom-mendations to determine and solve the problem..• Make sure the pagers are completely inserted into the charging slot.• The power supply may be defective. Try plugging the power supply used for the transmitterinto the pager charger.• You might have more pagers charging on one power supply than recommended. Only 25 pagerscan be charged on one 12V power supply. If you have more than 25 pagers, you should call LRSto order additional chargers.• You might have a jumper wire that is not properly connected.
