
• For charging batteries directly without the cradle,
use only the #DC-1002 Cigarette Lighter Adapter
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.
Inordertogetthemostoutofyournewradio,read
