Uniden MHS450 Radio Owner’s Manual
Setting Up the Hardware
Attaching the antenna
The antenna detaches from the radio
for easy shipping or storage. To attach the
antenna to your radio, screw it tightly onto
the anchor post at the top of the radio.
Installing the battery
Your MHS450 comes with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.
For shipping safety, the battery is not installed at the factory;
the empty alkaline battery case is installed as a placeholder.
Note:
Charge the battery fully before using the radio.
Unlock the latch at the base
of the radio and remove the
alkaline battery case.
Insert the hooks on the
battery into the notches on
the top of the battery
compartment.
Note:
Each time you remove the battery, check the
rubber seal around the battery compartment. Make
sure the seal is seated in the groove and there is no
dirt or debris on it. If the seal looks worn or damaged,
contact customer service to order a replacement (see
back cover page for contact information).
