Numeric Keypad
The Baofeng UV-5R hand-held transceiver comes standard with a full numeric keypad.
The numeric buttons have their secondary function printed on them. The
and
buttons also have
secondary functions, scan and keypad lock respectively.
Pound Button
In channel mode the [POUND] button also acts as a transmit power shortcut button. While in channel mode, press [POUND] to
change between High and Low transmit power. Please note that the transmit power stored to memory for that channel is not
altered permanently, it affects only the current session. Switching to another channel or another operating mode will reset
transmit power to the setting stored in the channel’s memory.
Keypad Lock
The Baofeng UV-5R includes a keypad lock feature that locks out all buttons except for the three on the side of the radio.
To enable or disable the keypad lock, press and hold the [POUND] button for about two seconds. Automatic keypad locking can
also be enabled through the menu so that the radio automatically locks the keypad after ten seconds.
Star Button
A quick press of the [STAR] button enables the reverse function.
When listening to broadcast FM, a momentary press will start the scanning function. Scanning in broadcast FM will stop as soon
as an active station is found.
To enable the scanner, press and hold the [STAR] button for two seconds.
