To counter:

Attach the Charging Cradle using the mounting screws and washers as follows. To wall:

Apply the Charging Cradle to the wall and insert the two mounting screws into the larger holes of the Charging Cradle Push down the Charging Cradle until it is firmly seated. When you remove the Charging Cradle from the wall, loosen the screws and push the Charging Cradle up. Attaching the Antenna Apply the antenna to the radio as shown. Be sure the antenna is firmly seated. Attaching the Rechargeable Battery Pack 1 Snap the battery release clip out and remove the alkaline battery case. Then place the rechargeable battery pack onto the back of the radio. It will only fit in one way. 2 Snap the battery release clip until it clicks. Be sure the battery pack fits tightly against the body. 8 UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 12/19/03 5:26 PM Page 9 Attaching the Beltclip 1 2 3 4 Hold the beltclip in the direction as illustrated. Apply it to the hanger piece on the back of the radio. Then slide it up. When you hear a click, the beltclip is firmly attached. To take the beltclip off the radio, turn it upside down and slide it up. 9 UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 12/19/03 5:26 PM Page 10 Charging the Battery Pack Your marine radio is powered by a specially designed Ni-MH battery pack. Before operating the MHS350, charge the Ni-MH battery pack for 4 hours without interruptionwith the Adapter. 1 2 Plug one end of the AC adapter into the wall outlet and the other end into the Adapter jack on the side of the Charging Cradle. Make sure your radio is OFF, and place the radio in the front of the Charging Cradle. You can also charge another battery at the same time. Place it in the back of the Charging Cradle. 3 Charge the battery for 4 hours. The charger wont overcharge the battery pack. After 4 hours without interruption, the LED on the Charging Cradle turn off and charging is completed. Be sure to replace the rubber cap after charging in order to secure the waterproof seal. The radio will not charge the battery while on and receiving incoming voice traffic. When you mount the Charging Cradle on your boat, use the DC adapter instead. The jack is for charging only. If the battery level is low, the radio needs to charge before use. 10 UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 12/19/03 5:26 PM Page 11 Operation See Controls and Indicators (page 2) for button, knob, and key positions. When you turn On your MHS350, it is automatically tuned to channel 16, the United States Coast Guard frequency for dis-

tress, safety, and calling. When you press any button (except PTT), a short tone sounds. Turning On the Unit and Setting Squelch 1 Before you turn On the unit, turn the squelch (SQ) knob fully counterclockwise. 2 3 Then, turn On the unit by turning the Volume/Power (VOL) knob clockwise until you hear a hissing sound. Turn the SQknob clockwise, just until the hissing sound stops. Use the knob to adjust to the desired squelch level. Think of the squelch control as a frequency gate which controls access to weak or strong signals depending on its setting. Strong Signals Medium Signals Weak Signals Noise To listen to a weak or distant station, turn the knob counterclockwise. If reception is poor, turn it clockwise to cut out weak transmissions. If the squelch control is adjusted so that you continually hear a hissing sound, the unit will not scan properly. 4 To turn Off the unit, turn the VOL knob counterclockwise until it clicks. 11 UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 12/19/03 5:26 PM Page 12 Selecting a Channel 1 Turn On your radio. 2 3 To select a higher channel, press the L button. To select a lower channel, press the M button. To change the channel continuously, press and hold the L or M button for more than 1 second.

This can be set only on weather channel. 1 2 Press and hold the WX/ALERTbutton for 2 seconds. A double confirmation tone sounds, and WX and appears. When the unit receives a warning signal, WX and blinks. The warning level and the channel number appears alternately. Also you hear an alert tone correspond-

ing to the alert level (There are 8 levels). 3 To turn Off SAME Alert, press and hold the WX/ALERT button for two seconds. FIPS Code The 6-gigit Federal Information Processing System (FIPS) code was established by the National Weather Service (NWS) identifies geographic areas in the United Sates. FIPS code allows you to receive only the SAME alert occurring in a particular area. To obtain the FIPS code for a particular area, contact the NWS tall free at 1-888-NWR-SAME (1-888-697-7263). Or visit their website:

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/indexnw.htm. A list of event coded are located on page 28. 16 UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 12/19/03 5:26 PM Page 17 To store the FIPS code:

Will not transmit on 5 watt range but will transmit on the 1 watt range. Cause: Low voltage Recharge or replace the batteries. Will not transmit while charging. Cause: Low voltage The radio is not designed to transmit while charging. DC or AC adapter does not supply enough power for transmitting. Battery will not charge. Cause: Low voltage Do not to transmit while charging. The adaptor does not supply enough power for transmitting. 31 UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 12/19/03 5:26 PM Page 32 FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION Read this information before using the radio WARNING!

In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of the radio complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. Never allow children to operate the radio without adult WARNING!

supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines. It is up to the user to properly operate this radio transmitter to insure safe operation. Please adhere to the following:

Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for a replacement antenna. Body-worn Operation This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the supplied belt-clip, which typically provides a space of 1 inch from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, body-worn operations are restricted to the supplied belt-clip. For hand-held operation, the radio should be held 1 inch from the user's face. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov. When using an external speaker microphone, USE ONLY THE UNIDEN MODEL HHVTA07 (black) or HHVTAW07 (white). Use of any other accessory for this purpose may invalidate your authority to operate this device. 32 UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 12/19/03 5:26 PM Page 33 Three-Year Limited Warranty Important!
