FCC Information  
Important: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by Uniden could void  
your authority to operate this unit. Do not open your radio to make any internal adjustments. Your  
radio is set up to transmit a regulated signal on an assigned frequency. It is against the law to alter  
or adjust the settings inside the radio to exceed those limitations. Any adjustments to your radio  
must be made by qualified technicians using the proper test equipment. To be safe and sure:  
Never open your radio’s case.  
Never change or replace anything in your radio except the batteries.  
Your radio might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating properly. To determine  
whether your radio is causing the interference, turn it off. If the interference goes away, your radio  
is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by moving your radio away from the receiver. If you  
cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using the radio.  
Audio Accessories: Do not operate the radio with audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing  
experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears,  
reduce the volume level or discontinue use. Always make sure the radio is turned off before  
plugging audio accessories into the accessory jack.  
Do not operate the radio in hazardous environments. Explosion or fire may result.  
Do not operate the radio near unshielded electrical blasting caps. Under certain  
conditions, radios can interfere with blasting operations and may cause an explosion. Turn your  
radio OFF to prevent accidental transmission when in a blasting area or in areas posted: “Turn off  
two-way radio.” Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.  
Care and Safety: To clean the radio, use a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use cleaners or  
solvents because they can harm the body of the unit and leak inside, causing permanent damage.  
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the battery contacts.  
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause  
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference  
that may cause undesired operation of the device.

Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Solution  
No power  
• Reposition or replace batteries.  
• Make sure the PTT button is completely pressed as  
you transmit.  
Message not  
transmitted  
• Reposition or replace batteries.  
Message not received • Confirm radios have the same channel.  
• Make sure PTT is not inadvertently being pressed.  
• Reposition or replace batteries.  
• Obstructions, operating indoors or in vehicles may  
interfere with communication. Change your  
location.  
• Check to make sure volume is turned up.  
Limited talk range  
• Street/concrete structures, heavy foliage and use in  
buildings and in vehicles will decrease the range.  
Check for clear line of sight to improve  
transmission.  
Wearing the radio close to the body, such as in  
pocket or on a belt will decrease range. Change  
the location of radio.  
Heavy static or  
interference  
• Radios are too close. Radios must be at least 5 feet  
apart. Increase your distance.  
• Radios are too far apart.  
Obstacles interfere with transmission. Talk range is  
up to 2 miles in clear, unobstructed conditions.  
If after trying these simple steps, your unit still does not function properly, call Uniden  
Customer Service at (800)297-1023 Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.  
Central time.
