I recommend users reset all settings when they power on the UV-5R the first time, even if it's freshly out-of-the-box, bought new. The quality control process at the factory may have changed some of the settings in a way that could cause a problem for the typical operator.
A Reset-All should certainly be performed if the radio is used...who knows how the previous user had things set up?
Finally, if the radio is acting strange or unexpected, reset all settings and start fresh!
Here's the options to follow in order to reset all settings:
Reset all settings
- [MENU] 040, [MENU]
- Voice prompt confirms, "Initialization."
- Scroll up or down to ALL, press [MENU] to confirm
- The display asks, "Source?"
- Scroll up or down to ALL, press [MENU] to confirm
- The display shows, "Wait.."
- The display restarts and the radio has reset all options to factory default settings.
Now, before we go on, let's change the voice prompt to English:
- [MENU] 014, [MENU]
- Scroll up or down to ENG, press [MENU]
- [EXIT]
