2. Fissaggio dell'antenna e della clip da cintura

• Avvitare l'antenna in senso orario nel connettore sulla parte superiore della radio fino a quando non è ben stretta a mano. Non stringere eccessivamente.
• Per un trasporto più comodo, agganciare la clip da cintura all'apposito slot sul retro della radio.

Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Accensione/spegnimento e controllo del volume

Rotate the Power Voice Switch (top knob) clockwise to power on the radio. Continue rotating to increase the volume. Rotate counter-clockwise to decrease volume and power off.

2. One-Key Decoding Copy Frequency

This feature allows you to quickly copy the frequency from another intercom without manual programming.

1. Power on your UV5F radio, then tune to channel 1. Power off the radio.
2. Press and hold the side button (likely the PTT button or a dedicated side key), then power on the radio.
3. When the green light flashes after power on, the radio has entered the decoding mode.
4. Have the other walkie-talkie transmit a signal.
5. After the UV5F decodes the signal, it will emit a "di" prompt sound, indicating successful frequency decoding.

• To activate VOX, navigate through the radio's menu system (refer to the full manual for specific menu options).

• For computer programming, the radio is compatible with software like CHIRP. Users have reported success using the "Abbree AR-F5" radio profile within CHIRP for programming.
• A programming cable (not included in standard package) is required to connect the radio to a computer.
