Batteries

Your Uniden MHS450 comes equipped with a Lithium Ion battery which snaps into the back of the radio and secures with a latch. The battery has a minimal charge when shipped. Before use, place the radio in the Charging Cradle and charge the battery for four hours. Note that unlike some other types of rechargeable batteries, a Lithium Ion battery can be “topped-off” as needed with no degradation of performance.

Installing the Lithium Ion Battery Pack

1.To install the Lithium Ion Battery Pack, insert the upper contacts on the lower edge of the battery area on the radio back as shown in the first illustration.

.Lower the pack until it is flat in the chamber

3.Bring the locking latch up and lock it into place to secure the pack.

Using the Alkaline Battery Pack

The radio is supplied with a battery pack that can hold four

AAAtype alkaline batteries (not supplied). For longest useful life we suggest using an extra strength battery such as Duracell Ultra ® batteries.

Note: When powering the radio by alkaline batteries, transmit power is limited to a maximum of 2.5 watts.
