MANUAL CONVENTIONS
This Owner’s Guide provides operations for both the Atlantis
290 and Atlantis 295 radios. These operations are identical
between the two models. The two models are treated as a
single entity and are described in single tense (for example,
“the radio provides” instead of ‘the radios provide”) except
where differences are specifically noted. Throughout this
manual, “Atlantis 290/295” indicates both the Atlantis 290
and the Atlantis 295 radios.
Uniden Atlantis 290/295 Radio Owner’s Manual
E-1
INTRODUCTION
Your Atlantis 290/295 radio combines a powerful GMRS
radio with a marine VHF radio featuring all NOAA weather
channels.
MARINE (VHF) MODE FEATURES
Marine (VHF) mode provides two-way ship-to-ship and shipto-shore communications.
xx Marine VHF channels (US, INTernational, and CANada)
xx Dual and Triple Watch Operation. These different watch
modes let you monitor up to two Coast Guard Distress/
Hailing channels along with one regular marine channel.
xx Emergency 16/9 Channel Monitoring. The Atlantis
290/295 can scan one or both of these emergency
channels regularly within normal scanning cycles.
WEATHER (WX) MODE FEATURES
WX mode provides monitoring of weather channels and the
weather watch channels.
xx 9 weather channels available for monitoring.
xx National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) Weather Channel watch. Sounds a warning
tone when a hazard alert is issued.
xx Weather Alert Watch mode. Mutes the radio while it
monitors a preset Weather channel. It sounds an alarm if
there are broadcasts on that channel. Put the radio in the
charger to keep power on.
GMRS/FRS MODE FEATURES
This band allows you to communicate on land with other
GMRS-capable radios.
xx 22 GMRS/FRS radio channels
xx 142 Sub Codes
xx Vibrate Setting. In GMRS mode, turn Vibrate on and off
E-2
Uniden Atlantis 290/295 Radio Owner’s Manual
through the menus (see page E-14).
xx GMRS/FRS Two-Way Communication. These bands
allow you to communicate with other radios that are
tuned to the same band and sub code. Select the
channel number/sub code and transmit. Any other radios
set to the same band and sub code will receive your
transmissions and can respond.
GMRS Licensing Requirement
The radio operates on the General Mobile Radio Service
(GMRS) frequencies when using Channels 1 - 7 and
Channels 15 - 22. You must have a GMRS license issued
by the Federal Communications Commission to legally use
these channels. For licensing information and application
forms, visit the FCC online at www.fcc.gov/wtb/uls or
call the FCC hotline at 1-800-418-3676. If you have any
questions, upi can contact the FCC direct at 1-888-2255322. No license is required to operate on Channels 8 - 14 or
operation on any channel in Canada.
COMMON FEATURES
xx Memory Save and Scan Mode. Lets you save channels
to memory and monitor them in quick succession.
xx Transmitter power level select. Lets you boost the
transmitter power from LO to MID to HI for added
transmission distance.
Note: Only Low power is available for FRS channels
8 - 14.
xx Weather Alert Watch Mode. Scans weather channels
while you are in Marine or GMRS mode.

Uniden Atlantis 290/295 Radio Owner’s Manual
E-3
input.
xx Adjustable volume and squelch
xx Key Beep on/off
WATERPROOF SPECIFICATIONS
The Atlantis 290/295 is a submersible radio, complying with
floating IPX7/JIS7 water-resistant standards. The radio can
be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes without
damage.
Notes:
The radio will only meet this rating if fully assembled
and all rubber seals and bungs are well maintained
and correctly fitted. This means that the speaker/
microphone bung is inserted and the battery pack (or
case) is securely fastened.
After your radio is submerged in water, you might
notice that the sound is distorted. This is because
there is still water remaining in and around the
speaker and microphone. Just shake the radio to
clear excess water and the sound should return to
normal.
If your radio is exposured to salt water, clean it thoroughly
with fresh water and dry it before turning it on.
The charger is not waterproof.

MAINTENANCE / TROUBLESHOOTING
Due to its rugged design, your radio requires very little
maintenance. However, it is a precision electronic instrument,
so you should follow a few precautions:
xx If the antenna has been damaged, do not transmit except
in an emergency situation. Transmitting with a defective
antenna may cause further radio damage.
xx You are responsible for continued FCC technical
compliance of your radio.
xx You should arrange for periodic performance checks with
your Uniden dealer.

REGULATIONS AND SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read this information before using the radio.
MARITIME RADIO SERVICES OPERATION
Warning! This transmitter will operate on channels/
frequencies that have restricted use in the United States.
The channel assignments include frequencies assigned for
exclusive use of the U.S. Coast Guard, use in Canada, and
use in international waters. Operation on these frequencies
without proper authorization is strictly forbidden. See pages
page E-26 through page E-33 for tables of the available
channels and their uses. If you are still not certain which
channels to use, see the FCC maritime radio page at the
FCC website
(http://wireless.fcc.gov/marine/) or contact the FCC Call
Center at 1-888-CALL-FCC. For individuals requiring a
license, such as commercial users, you should obtain a
license application from your nearest FCC field office (for US
users) or Industry Canada (for Canadian users).
BASIC RADIO GUIDELINES
You should familiarize yourself with the rules on marine
radios and be aware of which rules apply to your boat.
Complete guidelines for all ship and marine radio types can
be found at the US Coast Guard website under the topic
Radio Info for Boaters (the direct link is
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/marcomms/boater.htm).
Here are a few guidelines that affect nearly all boaters.
xx If you have a VHF radio on your boat, you must maintain
a watch on channel 16 (156.800 MHz) whenever the
radio is not being used to communicate. Starting in 2004,
if a radio is carried, it must be on and set to channel 16
whenever your boat is underway.
xx If you hear a distress call, wait a few minutes to let a
E-38
Uniden Atlantis 290/295 Radio Owner’s Manual
shore station or Coast Guard vessel respond. If no other
station has responded after 5 minutes, you must respond
to the distress call.
xx Do not make false mayday or distress calls as a prank or
to test your radio. (This is essentially like making a false
9-1-1 call; you may be subject to fines.)
FCC/Industry Canada Information
xx Certification: FCC Part 80 or RSS-182
xx Output Power: 6W
xx Emission: 16K0F3E
xx Transmitter Frequency Range: 156.025-157.425 MHz
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference.
Unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment
may void compliance with the FCC Rules. Any change
or modification must be approved in writing by Uniden.
Changes or modifications not approved by Uniden could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Information
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.
This device complies with the SAR RF safety requirement
when a 50% duty cycle (50% talk time) is observed.
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
Uniden Atlantis 290/295 Radio Owner’s Manual
E-39
Do not use the radio with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna contacts the skin, a minor burn may result.
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 website at www.fcc.gov.
Lithium Ion Battery Warning
This equipment contains a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery.
The rechargeable Lithium Ion battery contained in this
equipment may explode if disposed of in a fire.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Do not charge the rechargeable battery used in this equipment in any charger other than the one specified in the
owner’s manual. Using another charger may damage the
battery or cause the battery to explode.
NOTE: Li-Ion batteries must be recycled or disposed of
properly.
Avoid exposing the battery (whether attached to the radio
or not) to direct sunlight, heated cars, or temperatures
below -4°F (-20°C) or above +140°F (+60°C). Exposing the
chemical contained within the battery pack to temperatures
above +140°F (+60°C) may cause the battery to rupture, fail,
or reduce performance.
In case of exposure to the cell contents, wash the affected
area thoroughly and seek medical attention.
