Thank You for Your quick reply! Unfortunatly it doesn't really help me :(

I am not familiar with CC vs TH-batteries, but I do know that I am using the 
standard battery shipped with my FR (from Golden-Delicious in Germany).

I take it from Your reply that I (i.e. the average FR user) should be able to 
see the battery status on the indicator?!

So the problem is either hardware or ... ?

Please advise!

Thanks again!
