Uniden MHS126 Radio Owner’s Manual
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.
2) With your other hand, grip the
upper part of the tray and lift the
cover open.
3) Align the batteries’ positive
and negative terminals with the
drawing on the tray and snap each
battery into place.
4) Insert the two hooks on the lower part
of the tray into the notches on the
cover; close the cover. (The cover
ts snugly but you should not have
to force it closed.)
5) Install the alkaline battery tray in
your radio just as you do the Li-Ion
Polymer battery (see page E-15).
WARNING! The tray is designed to prevent the
accidental charging of alkaline batteries. Never
use alkaline batteries in the radio without the
battery tray. Do not attempt to modify the battery
tray design.
