• [MENU] key: It is used for activating the MENU, choose each MENU selection and confirm the parameter. In the off state, press and hold this key to turn on the radio, allowing to switch between frequency (VFO) mode or memory (MR) mode. To save frequencies to channel memory you must be in Frequency (VFO) mode. Memory mode is sometimes also referred to as Channel mode.
A short momentary press of the key enables the reverse function. When listening to broadcast FM a momentary press will start the scanning. Scanning in broadcast FM will stop as soon as an active station is found, regardless of scanner resume method. To enable the scanner, press and hold the [*SCAN] key for about two seconds. • Zero 0 Key The Pofung P52UV features a battery voltage meter that the current voltage of the battery on the display.
5. BASIC OPERATIONS 5.1 Power on the radio • Turning the unit on To turn the unit on, simply rotate the Volume/Power knob clockwise until you hear a "click". If your radio powers on correctly there should be an audible double beep after about one second and the display will show a message or flash the LCD depending on settings for about one second. Then it will display a frequency or channel. If the Voice prompt is enabled, the voice will announce "frequency mode" or "channel mode".
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. Frequency (VFO) mode is also used for programming channels into memory. In Channel (MR) mode you can navigate up and down the channel by using the ▲ and ▼ keys.
6. ADVANCED FEATURES 6.1 Frequency scanning This function can scan the frequency. a. In frequency mode, press [*SCAN] key for more than 2 seconds.
