UNIDEN Powermax5.8 cordless phone charging

Here are a few options; 1) your picture shows two bases, if that is the case, is it happening to both bases/phones, if not check terminals to make sure both are clean and connecting well. 2) if possibly exchange them, Uniden's are usually good phones, I've owned them before. 3) If you have one phone holding a charge and the other not, exchange the batteries and see if it's specific to the battery set. If so, you can purchase replacements at several stores. Hope that helps.

Phone's "Status Light" Not Illuminating or Battery Failing to Charge

1.Check that the base unit's AC adapter is plugged into the both the base unit and electrical outlet firmly.

2.Wipe the base unit's handset holder's connectors and the connectors on the bottom of the handset with a soft cloth/rag or pencil eraser to remove any loose dust and dirt from the metal connectors.

3.Place the handset firmly in the base unit holder until the "Status Light" illuminates, indicating the battery is charging.
4.Replace your Uniden cordless phone's battery, by purchasing a compatible battery from an electronic supply store or directly from Uniden. Turn your phone's handset unit over and remove its battery door. Lift the phone's battery pack up and gently unplug the battery's wire connector by pressing in on the connector's side and pulling the connector free from the phone's circuit board. Battery installation is the reverse of removal.

Hi! I think you mean you are looking for the manual? You can get it from here: http://www.uniden.com/content/ebiz/uniden/resources/ownersmanuals/EXAI5680om.pdf

What model Uniden cordless phone?

Sounds like the batteries may not be holding a full charge and depleting rapidly. Batteries are usually only good for a few years at best. Given the age of your phones and the much better quality of today's units (DECT 6.0) it is probably a wiser choice to replace the phones than just the batteries. At 5 years old the old phones have served you well and you'll probably enjoy the benefits of newer technology. There are many good brands to choose from - my personal preferences are Uniden and Panasonic.

Have you tried replacing the batterys with new rechargables? if not open up the back and replace old batterys with new ones, just see if it works with a normal non rechargable batterys if it does buy some new rechargable, other than that your base i.e. charger may be faulty most likely it is the batterys.

My phone won't charge on the base unit. It does charge on the other smaller base.

I always tell people NOT to buy new batteries to try and fix their cordless phone. It seems to rarely solve the problem and you are usually better off just spending the money on a new phone. Unfortunately 5 years is a long time for cordless phones these days. There are so many brands, and so many thousands of models, it's impossible to keep track of them all.
