When in use and charging battery depletes. unit wont power up plugged in without battery. Is this a defect of the phone? Just got it Friday.

You have to have a battery in the unit to charge it. I am quite sure that it would not work on a charger without a battery in the unit.

Are you saying you remove the battery before plugging in, if this is so then I know there are a number devices that will not power up if the battery (POWER SOURCE) is removed.

I have also experienced this problem. One thing that I have done is adjust how I set my phone on the charger. I have to set my phone at an angle and/or specific location on the charger. I also only use this charger over night. It may connect and disconnect overnight but it gives me a full charge by morning. I don't use this if my phone is almost dead as it will occasionally disconnect and beep at me for low battery.

I had the same thing happen. Unplug and use system to deplete power and then recharge. May take a couple uses but mine bounced right back and recharges fine now. Also holds a longer charge now. The more you use it, the better it seems to perform.

same thing happened to me and it's past the return date. I unplugged the unit and removed the battery and then it worked....for a few days and now it's back at it again....won't charge my phone.

I leave mine plugged in all the time. Just struggling with getting it to connect. Thinking my phone may be too old. Hope my new phone does better.

I had the same problem and I changed the 2 AA batteries in the handset and problem solved. I had assumed because the LED display said it was fully charged it was, but the batteries didn't hold the charge. I was just about to buy a new phone when I figured that out!

Well Kevin mine was bought a few months back I hear what u r saying and mine hasn't stopped working yet it is acting up a little like I have to wiggle my cord in my phone a bit but it's still charging for me but yes I think I will have to make a different cord purchase as well I totally agree with your situation sorry to hear that --- hope all works out later !!!!

I did not encounter that problem. Mine just stopped holding any charge at all and would not sinc with my phone

The likely suspect is that the battery will no longer hold a full charge and depletes early. It's a cheap fix and if it doesn't help then there's something in the phone drawing the battery down.

how do you know that the charger is the problem and not the battery?Just got one used defined 'like new' and after 6h on charge the battery still indicates 0% and when I disconnect the charger, it turns off

Mine still charged but wouldn't power up. Had to send it in for replacement. Make sure to back up all your pictures on a regular basis! Luckily, I did that.

I would say let it drain the battery completely and then try charging it again to full without using it in the meantime. This can happen with new electronics if you use it before the battery is charged all the way the first time. Work in tech and it happens with cell phones too (expensive mistake!)

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I would suggest attaching it to the charger one more time to see if you can get it to charge. Otherwise I would return it for an exchange. I bought an extra battery and have had no problems with the charging of either one.

Hi, I am having the same problem with mine. I am sure these are defective items that are being resold. I have to shut it down, power cord in, turn it back on and then manipulate the cord just so. Sometimes it takes a few tries. When if starts to charge, I leave if alone, because it will stop even if lightly tapped. The charge doesn't last very long though. Very disappointed. I should have returned it when I got it.

I'm having the same problem. Charger works fine--phone doesn't. Need to replace one satellite phone. Probably can't get without charging base.

It's possible, yeah. I thought the issue I was having with my phone not taking a charge was because of the batteries, so I replaced them, but that didn't fix it. If your phone is working, don't worry about it. If it won't take a charge, try replacing them. I ended up having to replace my handsets all together.

I too leave the handset on the base for days at a time and it's always fully charged when removed. Maybe your handset isn't completely or correctly seated in the base.
