Lower the battery until it rests flat in the compartment.
Bring the battery latch up and snap it into place.
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
