Dead battery is most liekly the cause. Typical symptoms. Cheers

Hi and thanks for the reply , presume its a special but where to get one and could I fit it ? Richard

Hi, it's easy to replace the battery - just one screw on the lower bottom of the unit opens the door. It's a 5aa cell nicad battery pack with a plug attached, much like changing the battery in a cordless phone. I tried a nimh pack in mine but i don't think the charger is really meant for those. I made my own battery with aa cells but there's probably someone on here or ebay selling them.

The wires needs to be soldered and does not have a connector.

Hi both and thanks for the help , will have a look tonight .

Hi again . It's got 5 off Sanyo nickel cadmium (kr) n-700AAC soldered , bit of a mess inside as they have corroded but dosn't seam to have any contamination below , got two of these 7000 so will do both but where can I find them to buy in the UK , don't want to get the wrong one's ?

Hi Leslie and thanks for link , been hunting but could'nt find any so far , these are joined and ready to go , great . Put the 7000 back on its charger without any batteries and is still doing the same fault , hopefully with batteries it's will be back to normal . Thanks again . Richard

Once new batteries are installed it will function. Maybe you will have issues with the 2-way functionality but that's a cap problem that can be solved.
