base won't charge phone
1945063
It charged... eventually. The primary base wouldn't acknowledge the secondary phone. There is this whole elaborate set up to sync the phones with the system. It took 72 hours to do it. I had to call tech support, they mailed an additional phone to me for $10. That had to be charged, then I had to sync that phone. Then the "original" second phone finally synced. There were no "sync" instructions in the box. I had to call Tech support to learn how to sync the phones. It was insane.

I had a similar problem, but it was a bad battery in my case. If your handset's display lights up and shuts off while it's on the base and won't charge, try replacing the battery; it's an easy fix and it never hurts to have a spare anyway.

Your base is bad or your phone is not lining up with the charging pins on the phone and on the base. Or you just got a bad phone , just return and get a new one....

The phone does not have to be in the base. You can put the phone anywhere you want in the house or even out in the yard or garage. However, the base must be plugged into an outlet for the phone to work (it's like a transmitter or whatever the proper term is). Also, the base is the re-charger when the battery gets low on the phone. Like a cell phone, the more you use the phone the sooner it loses it's charge. It does seem to hold a charge for quite awhile. I usually put my phone back on the base when not in use, just out of habit. Also, you have to have the main unit for the auxiliary phones to work.

I am back again I did some further research. My charging base takes a PNLV 226 AC adapter I saw them for sale on Amazon or at shoppanasonic.com I would think that should be all you need to replace if you have good batteries and the phone will not charge. Did you try charging 1 of the other phones in the unit that is not charging. Good luck

Try letting it charge for a bit first. It operates off an internal battery as far as I can tell, and the power charges it.

The charger units that hold the handsets only charge. The connection is between the handsets themselves and the base.

Yes, the base is the charging station. All the handsets have one. It has to be plugged in.

No. As you can see from the picture, the phone has to set into the base charging unit. It's a great phone.

Please charge the phone for atleast 12 hrs initially and keep the power button pressed for a minute and then release. The phone takes a few minutes to start up. Also if you phone is on the charging wire please take it off charge and then try. Also check if the terminals have not got a small tape on them. Please check with both battery if needed.

Try reversing the way the battery fits in the charger. Turn it updside down and put it in and it will charge. Topside will only display a green light and will not charge it. Hope this is clear enough!

Assuming the outlet is working, it sounds like your base unit is shot. I've had a couple of these phones now and they are very sensitive to power surges. I put my current unit on a surge protector and it's lasted several years now.

No. The base requires electricity. If power is out, these phones will not work.

Try a different cable, or a different charger, maybe discharge it completely and recharge.

Hi- If the base of the Accessory handset is getting electricity, and charging, a red light should go on showing that to be the case. If you're not seeing a red light, make sure the outlet you have the cord plugged into is a working outlet. Maybe move the handset to a different plug to see if this helps. If still no light, it's possible that either the charging cord is no good. OR- the battery inside the phone may have gone bad. If none of this helps, I would suggest you call Uniden directly for advice. But these are the things I could think of off the bat.... Hope this is helpful.....

I think your best bed it to look for one on Ebay. I found this in a search, http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/291252260606?lpid=82 The Handset and Base are priced as separate units, but you can charge it on the other bases and just alternate it My guess once you get in on the base it get attactched to it somehow.

I just received this phone for the second time (I returned the first for this very same reason) and the new phone has the same problem. The headset doesn't turn on or do anything off the base. So frustrating!

The same thing happened with me. Thankfully, I was able to get another charger and it'll charge it it's sitting a certain way. I cannot text or even touch the phone while it's charging, though.

Try a usb phone charger that fits the charge port. But yea look online you can find a charger or something that will work.
