Power-On Message
The power-on message can only be customized via the Baofeng PC software. For
more information, see the section *Programming* for details on how to install, set
up, and use the software.
The following instructions are written assuming that the Baofeng software has already
been installed and is running and that the Baofeng radio is connected to the PC that
is running the Baofeng software.
Procedure: Setting the Power-On-Message
1.Click the "Other" button on the menu bar. This should trigger the opening of a
dialog box titled "Other".
2. In the box titled "Power On Message", there are two text fields representing the
lines on the LCD screen. Enter the desired text in the fields.
3. Click the "Write" button to write the changes to the radio.
4. On the radio itself, ensure that menu item 38 is set to MSG.
Note: The BF-F9V2+ can only display 7 characters per line.

Troubleshooting
Guide
Problem Possible Cause / Solution
The radio does not start. The battery may be low. Either replace the battery with
a charged battery or proceed to charge the battery. The
battery may not be installed correctly. Try removing the
battery and reattaching it.
The battery is draining quickly
Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. If the battery
continues to drain at a quick pace, its life may have come
to an end and it may need replacing.
The receiving indicator LED
lights up but the speaker is not
emitting any sound.
Make sure the volume setting isn't too low by turning the
knob up further. If there is still no sound, ensure that the
CTCSS undertones or the DCS codes are programmed to
be the same as the other people you are trying to
communicate with.
While transmitting, other
people are not receiving my
communications.
Ensure that the CTCSS undertones or the DCS codes are
programmed to be the same as the other people you are
trying to communicate with. If this continues, ensure that
you are not out of broadcasting range from the rest of the
people in your group, or that your signal is not being
impeded by your local surroundings.
In standby mode, my
transceiver transmits without
the PTT button being pressed.
Ensure that the VOX setting on your radio is not set to be
too sensitive. VOX setting 1 is the highest setting, and 10
is the lowest.
The radio is receiving
transmissions from users other
than the ones I wish to
communicate with.
Ensure you are on the same frequency as those who you
are trying to communicate with. Ensure that the CTCSS
undertones or the DCS codes are programmed to be the
same as the other people you are trying to communicate
with.
Communications with other
users is very low quality.
Ensure that you are not out of broadcasting range from the
rest of the people in your group, or that your signal is not
being impeded by your local surroundings.
