What are the symptoms of a low telephone battery?

You might notice that the telephone isn't holding a charge as long as it used to. However, call quality can decline, the phone dies within seconds of the low power beep sounding, and onscreen indicators may turn on not long after a full charge.

Can you use a higher mAH battery in your telephone?

You can use a higher capacity battery in your Uniden telephone. However, you must make sure that the power pack types are the same.
