GENERAL QUESTIONS

Q: Why did my radio shut down when I took it out of my pocket.
A: If you carry your radio and keys in the same pocket, a case is recommended. If
the charging contacts are shorted, the battery goes into the protection mode. There
will be no damage to the battery or radio, but the radio will power off. To reset the
protection mode, the battery must be removed and reinserted.
Q: Did I get a used radio? My UV-82L had frequencies pre-programmed.
A: No. Your radio is new. These are channels used for factory testing.
The easiest way to remove them is to:
Press Menu, 41 (Reset), Menu, ALL, Menu.
Q: My radio doesn't speak English?
A: Press Menu, 14, Menu, Make selection, Menu
Options are: CHI / ENG / OFF
Q: How do I lock/unlock my keypad?
A: Hold the # key in for 2 seconds.
Pressing it quickly alternates TX power level.
