The following safety precautions shall always be observed during operation, service
and repair of this equipment.
 This equipment shall be serviced by qualified technicians only.
 Do not modify the radio for any reason.
 Use only BAOFENG supplied or approved batteries and chargers.
 Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
 Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with explosive and flammable
materials.
 Do not charge your battery in a location with explosive and flammable materials.
 To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
radio in any area where posted notices instruct you to do so.
 Turn off your radio before boarding an aircraft. Any use of a radio must he in
accordance with airline regulations or crew instructions.
 Turn off your radio before entering a blasting area.
 For vehicles with an air bag, do not place a radio in the area over an air bag or in
the air bag deployment area.
 Do not expose the radio to direct sunlight over a long time, nor place it close to

Note:
- Items included in the package, may differ from those listed in the table above
depending on the country of purchase. For more information, consult your dealer or
vendor.
- Consult the dealer or retailer for information about options available.
 BATTERY CHARGING

Use only the charger specified by the manufacturer. The charger's LED indicates the
charging progress.
Please follow these steps:
1. Plug the AC connector of the adapter into the AC outlet socket.
2. Place the radio with the battery attached, or the battery alone, in the charger.
3. Make sure the battery is in good contact with the charging terminals. The charging
process initiates when the red LED lights.
4. The green LED lights about 4 hours later indicating the battery is fully charged.
Then remove the radio with the battery attached or the battery alone from the
charger.
BATTERY INFORMATION
INITIAL USE
New batteries are shipped uncharged fully from the factory. Charge a new battery for
5 hours before initial use. The maximum battery capacity and performance is
achieved after three full charge/discharge cycles. If you notice the battery power runs
low, please recharge the battery.
WARNING:
- To reduce the risk of injury, charge only the battery specified by the manufacturer.
Other batteries may burst, causing bodily injury and property damage.
- To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
- Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not dispose
as household waste.
- Never attempt to disassemble the battery.

BATTERY TIPS
1. When charging your battery, keep it at a temperature among 5°C
40°C.Temperature out of the limit may cause battery leakage or damage.
2. When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.
3. Do not cut off the power supply or remove the battery when charging a battery.
4. Never charge a battery that is wet. Please dry it with a soft cloth prior to charge.
5. The battery will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and
standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal performance, it is time to buy a new
battery.
PROLONG BATTERY LIFE
1. Battery performance will be greatly decreased at a temperature below 0°C. A
spare battery is necessary in cold weather. The cold battery unable to work in this
situation may work under room temperature, so keep it for later use.
2. The dust on the battery contact may cause the battery cannot work or charge.
Please use a clean dry cloth to wipe it before attaching the battery to the radio.
 BATTERY INFORMATION

BATTERY STORAGE
1. Fully charge a battery before you store it for a long time, to avoid battery damage
due to over-discharge.
2. Recharge a battery after several months' storage (Li-Ion batteries: 6 months), to
avoid battery capacity reduction due to over-discharge.
3. Store your battery in a cool and dry place under room temperature, to reduce self-
discharge.
INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES

INSTALLING THE ANTENNA

Install the antenna as shown in the figure below and
turn it clockwise until it stops.
Note:
- When installing the antenna, don't rotate it by its top,
holding it by its base and turn.
- If you use an external antenna, make sure the “SWR”
is about 1.5:1 or less, to avoid damage to the
transceiver's final transistors.
- Do not hold the antenna with your hand or wrap the
outside of it to avoid bad operation of the transceiver.
- Never transmit without an antenna.

INSTALLING THE BELT CLIP

If necessary, install the belt clip at the rear of the
battery compartment cover as shown in the figure
below.
Note:
- Do not use any kind of glue to fix the screw on the
belt clip.
The solvents Glue may damage the battery casing.

MICRO-HEADSET INSTALLATION OF EXTERNAL

Plug the external micro-headset connector into the jack
of “SP&MIC” of the transceiver as shown in the figure
below.
 INSTALLATION OF ACCESSORIES

BATTERY INSTALLATION
- When attaching the battery, make sure the battery is in parallel and in good contact
with the aluminum chassis. The battery bottom is about 1 to 2 centimeters below the
bottom of the radio's body.
- Align the battery with the guide rails on the aluminum chassis and slide it upwards
until a “click” is heard.
- The battery latch at the bottom locks the battery.
- Turn off the radio before removing the battery.
- Slide the battery latch, at the bottom of the radio's body, in the direction indicated by
the arrow.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND SETTINGS

1. Under FM radio mode (VFO), press and hold down [VM/SCAN] about 2 seconds,
the display will flash "01-16".
2. Press [UP]/[DOWN] to select the memory location in which to store the radio
station.
3. Press [AB/] to save the station.
4. Repeat the above procedure to store more radio stations.

5. ALARM FUNCTION
1. Hold down the alarm button (Radio Overview F) to activate the alarm. It transmits
an alarm signal in the selected channel or frequency while the speaker will sound the
alarm.
2. Press the [PTT] or Alarm Button to deactivate the alarm.
Note:
If the location in which there is one radio station, the new radio station will replace the
old one.

6. SCANNING FM RADIO STATIONS

In operating mode of commercial FM radio, press [MENU], then press the
[VM/SCAN] to start scanning all radio stations. Press [UP]/[DOWN], to change the
direction of scanning stations.
Press any key to exit the scan function.
If during the scan, you want to store the radio station, press any key to exit the scan
and memorize the station using the steps described in the previous section.
Note:
- The communication between different transceivers is a priority. Therefore, if the
transceiver is in commercial FM radio mode, and a signal of another transceiver is
