Power-on message

The power-on message can only be set via computer link, see the section called “Com-

puter programming” for details on how to set up a link with your computer.

The following instructions assume that you've already established a link using the

Baofeng software from a computer running Windows, and that the Baofeng software is

already installed and running.

Procedure 9.3. Setting the power-on-message

1. Click other in the menu bar, a dialogue box titled "Other" should have popped up.

2. In the box titled "Power On Message", there are two text fields representing the two

lines on your LCD. Enter the desired text in the fields.

3. Click Write to write your changes to the radio.

Even though the software has eight(8) character wide text fields for the power-on

message, be aware that the display on the UV-5R can only display a maximum of

seven(7) characters.

Make sure that menu item 38 is set to MSG, otherwise your message wont be dis-

played. see Chapter 4, Working the menu system for details on how to navigate the

menu.

Some times it takes the Baofeng software more than one try to connect to your

radio. If you see a dialogue box popping up stating that you have a connection

failure, close the dialogue box and click read or write again.
