Baofeng UV-5RV2+ Operating Manual page 25

When starting the Baofeng programming software, the channel information window will show. This is
where channel information for memory channels is entered. If the channel information window does
not appear automatically, it can be accessed by going to Edit, Channel Information.
Before adding channels, go to Communication to select the port the cable is attached to. Next, go to
Program, Read from Radio and click Read to read in any existing channel information on the radio.
This is an effective way to test the connection of the programming cable. If the read is successful, the
LED on the radio will start flashing red indicating that the radio is transmitting data to the computer.

the radio will reset itself.
