Top 20 Uniden 5.8GHz Dual Cordless Phone Questions & Answers

The handset must be placed into the BASE cradle. (the BASE has the telephone wire from the wall plugged into it as well as the power supply wire) The remote charging dock has only the power supply wire plugged in and it cannot do the registration. Good luck! --------------

It's not clear what the ciscumstances are.However, I give it a try.=Settings=Maybe you just got this phone, installed it by hooking up the power. In such case you should carefulle have read the manual.1) PowerDid you connect the poweradapter ?2) LineA) Some phones require a cable-connection (RJ45 connector), either to another phone-station or straight to the land-line inside your house / office. Check this connection if you made this cable-connection. B) Some DECT-type, and require another (wireless) station to be connected to (wireless). Check the manual how to connect your phone to this remote, wireless station.=Hardware=In some cases you might face some hardware / technical problems.1) BatteryIf there's no light at the display, you got probably a battery-problem. If you own this device already for a long time, you might have a fair chance the battery is old and should be replaced.If the phone is new, you should check the power-adapter which is charging the phone (it's batteries).A) PowerCheck if it is connected well to the power-outlet. Some adapters contain a built-in small LED (light), which will emit light when connected to the wall-outlet. When plugged in correctly, the LED should emit light (red or green).B) No contactThe module, or also called "station" is the part where the phone slides in, when you're not using your phone. However, it's possible the connection from the adapter to the phone is not perfect.= PoweradapterThe other end of the poweradapter should be plugged correctly into the module/holder. = Mis-agignmentThe module / station contain some (gold-alike) pins. The phone, contains gold alike pads, which should connect to these pins, when the phone is located in the module.Sometimes, due to malfunction in manufacturing-, or even logistic process, the pins might get mis-aligned. Or, even rough (ab)use of sliding the phone back into the station might result in mis-alignment of these pins. In such case you can (carefully!) re-align these pins.I hope you could locate your problem and solve it by this message.

Follow the instructions on page 17 of the manual.

Most likely. Since you declined to specify the model of your Uniden 5.8GHz cordless phone, I can't direct you to the exact battery, but you'll see a list of available units here.

There has to be some action to tell the phone you're answering the call. Old phone did so when you picked up the handset. With this phone, you might have picked up the handset just to check the caller ID, so it won't answer the call upon removing the phone from the cradle. Besides, you might have picked up the phone to go out onto the patio or to the bathroom, for example. How is the phone then to know you want to answer a call?

Hello

Have you tried taking the battery out and putting it back in? It may free it up. On the other hand, I have a corded phone that blinks when there is a new call with caller id. If I don't scroll down to every call, it continues blinking. If you have caller id, just scroll down a little more and see if the blinking stops.

hold the page button down for 5 seconds, that usually clears the blinking beep/light!!!

also make sure no old messages are in the VM inbox!

Hi,

It is possible, i will advice you order for it online at ebay.com or amazon.com

check to see if phone box out side the wires inside box is not touching....

You're going to need to replace the battery. Make sure that you charge your new battery for at least 24 hours before you use the phone. If you have no local source to purchase a new battery from, you might try eBay.

When the handset behaves this way the first thing to do is to replace the battery which you have done. If after this the handset still does not come on then by all means the handset's main board is burnt.
When the main board gets burnt the best thing to do is to get the board replaced or just replace that particular handset if you can get another one for sale.
It is more advicable to replace it because most often when the board gets replaced it the handset never remains the same. Usually at that point the handset becomes troublesome.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

If the phones are still availiable you must order them from Uniden. Here is the customer support site with the models of handsets that are available, just click the link below.

open the battery cover. remove the battery for about ten minutes. plug the battery back in and put the cover back on. then put it in the base (not the stand alone charging cradle) the light should flicker on the base for a second. take the phone out and it should be working.

"The charge is depleted and the phone dies" This happens in two cases....

1. Your batteries are dead and old. Try replacing the batteries
2. This can also happen if there is a short-circuit somewhere in the connection.

Try exchanging your batteries with a new one or with another phone of same model. If the problem is gone then your batteries were dead but if it arises again there must be a short-circuit somewhere, get is checked....

Hi,

To start with, this seems more likely an internal fault. I am 90% sure, as i cannot be 100% without diagnosing it myself.You could try to fully reset the phone by :-

1) Remove the battery from the handset.
2) Unplug the AC adapter from the main base unit AND the wall.
3) Wait at least 20 minutes.
4) Put batteries back in handset.
5) Plug AC Adapter back into the main base unit and then the wall.
6) Wait about 30-60 seconds for system to reinitialize.
7) Test the system.

Sometimes un-registering and then re-registering the handset could help to solve the problem.

If the problem persists, that would confirm an internal fault. This might be a result of power surge. This is usually due to a problem in electronic circuit or a blown IC or diode on the board that needs replacement and soldering. If you have experience in electronics repair, could read schematics, would be able to use multimeter and soldering iron and could keep precautions, i could provide few pointers. Taking the phone to the serviceman is not advisable as the cost of repair would be quite high as compared to the cost of the product.In that situation, buying a new one is recommended.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!
