Getting Started
UNIDEN MHS050 Handheld VHF Marine Transceiver
Install the Battery Pack
Your radio uses the supplied NiMH battery pack.
To install the NiMH battery pack:
1. Make sure the radio is off.
2. Turn the screw holding the battery compartment counterclockwise with
a screwdriver, and hold up the battery cover.
3. Put the NiMH battery pack in the battery compartment applying the
battery contacts to the lower charge contacts. Be sure to follow the
instructions written on the battery pack’s label. Installing the battery
pack incorrectly will prevent the unit from operating.
4. Before placing the battery cover back on the radio, check the rubber
seal around the battery compartment and the ribbon of the battery
pack: make sure that the seal is in good condition and that there is
no foreign matter under the seal.
5. Replace the battery compartment door. Tighten the screws securely.
NOTE
If the rubber seal appears warn, nicked, or dried out,
replacement seals are available. Visit the website on the
cover of this manual.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied NiMH battery pack. Do not charge
alkaline or non rechargeable batteries.
