Getting Started  
Mounting the Charging Cradle  
Mount the Charging Cradle to either a counter or wall.  
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  
Place the rechargeable battery pack onto the  
back of the radio. It will only fit in one way.  
1
Snap the battery release clip until it clicks.  
Be sure the battery pack fits tightly against  
the body.

UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 2/16/04 10:14 AM 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 interruption with the Adapter.  
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.  
1
2
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.  
Charge the battery for about 4 hours.  
3
• The charger won’t overcharge the battery pack.  
When the LED on the Charging Cradle turn off,  
charging is completed.  
The radio will not charge the battery while on and receiving  
incoming voice traffic, and while transmitting.  
• 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.  
• If the LED on the charging cradle flashes, the battery might be  
broken. Purchase Uniden BP350 battery (see page 29).

UT919ZH(MHS350)ENG.QX 2/16/04 10:14 AM Page 11  
Operation  
• See “Controls and Indicators” (page 2) for button, knob, and  
key positions.  
• When you turn On your MHS350 for the first time after  
purchasing, it is automatically tuned to channel 16, the United  
States Coast Guard frequency for distress, safety, and calling.  
From the second time, the radio turned to the channel which was  
selected before you turn off the radio.  
• When you press any button (except PTT), a short tone sounds.  
Turning On the Unit and Setting Squelch  
Before you turn On the unit, turn the  
1
squelch (SQ) knob fully counterclockwise.  
Then, turn On the unit by turning the  
Volume/Power (VOL) knob clockwise  
until you hear a hissing sound.  
2
Turn the SQ knob 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 counter-  
clockwise. 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.  
To turn Off the unit, turn the VOL knob counterclockwise until  
4
it clicks.

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION  
WARNING!  
Read this information before using the radio  
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  
supervision and the knowledge of the following guidelines.  
WARNING!  
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. 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  
• 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.
