When receiving a call, the green LED is on. NOTE: To ensure the best reception volume, keep the distance between the microphone and the mouth at the time of transmission from 2.5 cm to 5 cm. 5.4 Channel selection There are two modes of operation: Frequency (VFO) mode, and Channel or Memory (MR) mode. For everyday use, Channel (MR) mode is going to be a whole lot more practical than Frequency (VFO) mode. However, Frequency (VFO) mode is very handy for experimentation out in the field.
This function can scan the channels. a. In channels mode, press [*scan] key for more than 2 seconds. The radio will start scanning according to the channel you set. b. You can change the scanning direction with the ▲and ▼ keys. c. Press any key to stop scanning.

each. (19) SCAN Resume Mode (SC-REV) - MENU No.18 Thanks to this function, UV-5G can SCAN in frequency or channel mode. You can choose amongst three options: TO: Time-operated SCAN Whenever a signal is detected, the radio will suspend the SCAN for 5 seconds, and then will continue to SCAN even if the signal is still present. CO: Carrier-operated SCAN Whenever a signal is detected, the radio will stop scanning. It will resume to SCAN once the signal will disappear.
When this function is on, it may prevent other radios’ interference. If the selected channel is being used by other radios, when you press key PTT, your radio cannot transmit. Release the PTT and transmit as soon as the frequency is no longer busy. (25) Auto Keypad Lock (AUTOLK) - MENU No.24 When this feature is activated, the keypad will be automatically locked after 15s; this prevents accidental pressure of any keys. (26) Frequency offset direction (SFT-D) - MENU No.
• OFF (backlight off) • BLUE • PURPLE • ORANGE (33) Alarm Mode (AL-MOD) - MENU No.32 This function can set the tone alarm/code alarm/site alarm of the radio. Keep pressed the [CALL] key for 3 seconds to start the alarm tone. The following three options can be selected: • SITE: the speaker emits an alarm tone but the radio doesn’t transmit; • TONE: the speaker emits an alarm tone and the radio transmits it; • CODE: the speaker emits an alarm tone and the radio transmits it followed by ANI-ID code.
(38) Delay time of side tone elimination in communication through repeater (RPT-RL) - Menu No.37 With this function you have the confirmation that the repeater has transferred the signal. You can choose amongst: OFF 1,2,3,4,5,….10 to set the delay time. (39) Display mode at the turning on (PONMSG) Menu No.38 With this function you can set the display mode when the radio is turned on.
