Using the alkaline battery case

The radio also comes with a battery case that holds four AAA

type alkaline batteries (not supplied). You can use alkaline

batteries as a backup for the Li-Ion battery, so you can still

use your radio while your Li-Ion battery is recharging. For

best performance, Uniden recommends using extra-strength

alkaline batteries, such as Duracell Ultra

batteries.

Note: When using alkaline batteries, transmit power is

limited to a maximum of 2.5 watts.

Follow the steps below to use the alkaline battery case:

Hold the lower part of the

case in one hand with the

three battery contacts facing

down. Use your thumb to

hold the notch on the lower

part of the case.
With your other hand, grip

the upper part of the case

and lift the cover open.
Align the batteries’ positive

and negative terminals with

the drawing in the case, and

snap each battery into place.
Insert the two hooks on the

lower part of the case into the

notches on the cover, and

close the cover. (The cover

fits snugly but you should not

have to force it closed.)

Note: Each time you open the

battery case, check the

rubber seal. Make sure the
