the weather channel and mutes the speaker. If the radio detects an alert, it sounds an alert
tone and turns the speaker back on. This mode is very useful when you are anchoring for
the night but want to keep informed of hazards.

Tri Watch menu or the TRI soft key) while operating in
Weather mode, the radio checks the priority and
second priority channels, then the current marine
channel, and then the most recently used weather

recently used weather channel.
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 Lithium Ion 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 hook on the battery into the notch at the top of the battery compartment.
2.
Lower the battery until it rests flat in the compartment.
3.
Bring the battery latch up and snap it into place.
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
non-rechargeable Lithium batteries.
When using alkaline batteries, transmit power is limited to a maximum of 2.5W.
Follow these steps to use the alkaline battery tray:
1.
Hold the lower part of the tray in one hand with the three battery contacts facing
down. Use your thumb to hold the notch on the lower part of the tray.
