There is a peculiarity of the radio; if the switch at the rear is turned to OFF
it will still charge, but none of the LEDs will operate This could be why you
don't see the amber LED flash sometimes.
If the radio is turned, on and the amber LED does not operate as described in
the table, then there could be a fault with the charger. Before you resort to
replacing the unit, check that the little springs under the mains adapter block
have not become deformed. Sometimes these can bend too far down and no longer
contact the adapter block pins properly. To do this, remove the mains adapter block by
pressing the recessed tab with a pen and gently bend up the pins as shown in the attached image. If
the adapter will not go back on easily after this bend the pins back down a
little until it fits back snugly. This should bring the charger back to life.
