i found two motorola cp200's at work that i would like to reincorporate into the field. After charging i turn the units on get one flash orange and then a blinking green light. sound is two quick low tones then one high tone followed by two more quick high tones. they are 4 channel uhf. both radios respond the same way but when i try to ptt from one the other does not receive the communication. Channel 4 on both devices gives me a steady low tone. Occasionaly both devices will beep two quick high tones without pushing any of the buttons. i have no idea what the programming functions are on these devices. I would like to get them operational again. Do any of you have any recomendations of what the issue could be. Thank you so much in advance.
Yellow light at power on means battery is barely sufficient.
First pair of beeps at power on is normal, means the radio passed power-on self test. I can't find any info on the next tones.
Low tone when you try to transmit on Channel 4 simply means that channel is set up for receive only and is incapable of transmitting.
Two high beeps at random times means battery is dangerously low.
Without knowing exactly how the radio is programmed, it's impossible to tell anything further. But first, it needs good batteries. If they have been sitting around for a long time, they may be dying rapidly.
If you have the right charger, give each one a 16 hour charge and then see if anything changes. If that doesn't work, they need to be looked at by a competent tech who has the software and equipment to properly troubleshoot the radio. There are no other magic fixes.
