I want a radio exactly as it was when taken from the box.
I downloaded the user guide and searched it and there's no directions
on how to do that. Below I will paste the instructions on how to reset
a UV-5R model, which seems to have many similarities with their
similar radios. It may or may not work. I doubt if it will ruin things
for you, but note that after the factory reset, the menu is in
Chinese. You then have to go through a short procedure to set the menu
to English again since the Factory setting is Chinese menus.
If you try this, you do so at your own risk, of course. But you
probably don't have a fortune invested in one of these. My UV-5R and
my two BF-888 radios were pretty inexpensive. Let us know if you are
able to reset it, and how you ended up doing it.
