Follow these steps to use the alkaline battery case: 1. Hold the lower part of the case in one hand with the three battery contacts facing down. Use your thumb to hold the notch on the lower part of the case. With your other hand, grip the upper part of the case and lift the cover open. Align the batteries' positive and negative terminals with the drawing on the case and snap each battery into place. Insert the two hooks on the lower part of the case into the notches on the cover; close the cover. (The cover fits snugly but you should not have to force it closed. ) E-14 Uniden MHS125 Radio Owner's Manual note: each time you open the battery case, check the rubber seal. Make sure the seal is seated in the groove and there is no dirt or debris on it. if the rubber seal looks worn or damaged, contact customer service to order a replacement (see the back cover page for contact information). 5.
