cord, available from www.Uniden.com. Other
power cords could damage your radio.
DC 9V jack of the radio is for charging only.
Be sure to install the battery before charging.
Use only the supplied battery and AC adapter or
approved accessories from Uniden.
Charge time may vary depending on the battery
life remaining.
Do not recharge alkaline batteries. Doing so can
create a safety hazard or damage the radio.
For fastest charging, turn off the radio before
charging.
The battery must be installed for the unit to
operate, even if the unit is also connected to
external power.
