The icon and battery indicator in the app would suggest that the range extender needs charging.
Are you charging it correctly ? Leaving it on charge until the LED goes Green ?
The first charge can take over 4 hrs.

If you have a USB cube that is a 2amp cube it will help charged get times. Charge up the extender. Have fresh batteries in the RC unless it's a version3.0 the charge it up full to. And before flying have a fully charge battery in the Phantom. I would make this part of my pre flight checklist. Have you done the calibrations of the IMU, RC And compass yet? What bird are you flying?

Yes John, have been charging it up fully ..... the last couple of times I noticed the system (G) led flickering and going off and on.  Always thought that in the past it would stay on steady GREEN.  Anyway have it on charge, as we speak, and we will see where that takes us.  

Thanks John for your response

Thank you for your response Roy. .... Running with a 2 Vision + with Ver 3 Remote Controller, so have the internal battery. Have been pretty religious about a good charge in the Smart Battery, would charge the RC battery when it would indicate 50% discharge and the Range extender periodically prior to the Red Battery led turning on.  As I am still trying to resolve the FPV Black screen problem so haven't gotten too concerned about the compass yet
