Setting up the Hardware

Attaching the Antenna

The antenna detaches from the radio for easy shipping
or storage. To attach the antenna to your radio, screw it
tightly onto the anchor post at the top of the radio.

Installing the Battery

Your radio comes with a rechargeable Li-Ion Polymer battery; for shipping
safety, the battery is not installed at the factory. The empty alkaline battery
tray is installed as a placeholder.
1. Insert the tabs on the battery into the notches at the top of the battery
compartment.
2. Lower the battery until it rests fl at in the compartment.
3. Bring the battery latch up and snap it into place.
Each time you remove the battery, check the rubber seal
around the battery compartment. Make sure the seal is seated
in the groove and there is no dirt or debris on it. If the seal
NOTE
looks worn or damaged, contact customer service to order a
replacement (see front cover page for contact information).

Using the Alkaline Battery Tray

The radio also comes with an alkaline battery tray that holds four AAA-type
alkaline batteries (not included). You can use alkaline batteries as a backup
for the Li-Ion Polymer battery so you can still use your radio while your Li-Ion
Polymer battery is recharging.
CAUTION: If you are using your radio in a cold-weather environment, Uniden
recommends using nonrechargeable Lithium batteries.
When using alkaline batteries, transmit power is limited to
a maximum of 2.5W.
