For some reason, this link will not work for me.
Could it be wrong possibly?
Please help.
Thank you!

> The Baofeng UV-5R is an inexpensive dualband handheld radio, operating on 
> 2M
> and 70CM. This radio may be of interest to blind hams, since (unlike more
> expensive radios from the big three manufacturers) Baofeng has managed to
> implement limited speech feedback for some functions. While we would wish
> for more, such as voice confirmation of frequency, CTCSS/DCS settings, and
> so on, this radio provides a very usable alternative to other, more
> expensive handhelds from the traditional manufacturers.

>
> Inserting the Battery
>
> The battery attaches to the back of the radio, very like many other 
> handheld
> radios and mobile phones.
>
> â?¢ Place the radio facedown in front of you and the top of the radio 
> facing
> away from you.
>
> â?¢ The battery pack is rectangular, with a plastic tab at the top center 
> of
> the pack. The back of the battery, toward the bottom edge, has three
> contacts for charging in the included drop-in charger.
>
> â?¢ Line the top of the battery up with the bottom of the radio so that 
> the
> top of the battery rests on top of the bottom edge of the radio, with the
> charging contacts facing up. Then, slide the battery away from you, 
> towards
> the top of the radio. You will feel the battery slide up the guides on the
> radio and then latch in place as the latch in the radio connects to the 
> tab
> at the top of the battery.
>
> Attaching the Belt Clip
>
> The belt clip attaches to the back of the radio with two included Philips
> head screws, which will be screwed into the back of the radio, towards the
> top, just above the top of the battery pack.
>
> Remove the screws from the back of the radio. Put them into the holes on 
> the
> sides of the hinged plate on the back of the belt clip. It might be 
> easiest
> to do these one at a time, as the screws are fairly small.
>
> Line the screws in the belt clip up with the holes in the radio. I found
> this a little tricky, as it's necessary to squeeze the belt clip open so
> that the plate with the screws in it is flat only when the belt clip is
> squeezed open. Screw in one of the screws partially, so that the clip 
> holds
> in place, then start the other. Tighten both once the belt clip is 
> properly
> aligned. It's a little tricky and feels like you need an extra hand.
> Fortunately, once it's done, you won't have to do it again.
>
> Orientation
>
> Stand the radio up with the keypad facing you. Naturally, the keypad will 
> be
> the front of the radio, and we will discuss the radio in this orientation.
>
> At the top of the radio, you'll find an SMA male antenna jack on the left
> and the on/off/volume knob on the right. Between these is a large LED
> flashlight bulb. Behind the LED is the battery release latch. Push the
> release latch forward and slide the battery down to remove it.
>
> The right side of the radio only has the loop for the wrist strap and the
> speaker/mic jacks. The speaker/mic jacks are located under a cover that
> swings open towards the back. Pull the front of the cover free with a
> thumbnail to open it and plug in either a speaker/mic or programming 
> cable.
>
> The left side of the radio has three buttons. From top to bottom, they are
> the FM radio key, the PTT key, and the Monitor key.
>
> The FM radio key turns on the FM radio if pressed briefly. If this button 
> is
> held, it will turn on a pretty annoying alarm siren.
>
> The PTT button keys the radio.
>
> The monitor button, if held, will open the squelch for as long as the 
> button
> is held in. If it is pressed quickly, it turns on (or off) the LED light 
> at
> the top of the radio. Unfortunately, both "On" and "Off" play the same 
> tone,
> so there is no non visual way to know whether the light is on or not.
>
> The front of the radio is where we will focus most of our attention. At 
> the
> top of the front panel is the LCD display. Directly below the display is 
> one
> button at the left side of the front panel. It is labeled, "VFO/M R.
>
> This is the button that toggles between "Frequency mode" (VFO) and 
> "Channel
> mode" (Memory channels). You will also find a generous speaker grille, 
> with
> a hole right below the button for the microphone.
>
> Below the speaker are two more buttons, one on the left side of the front
> panel and one on the right. The left button is the A/B button, which
> switches from the "A", or top display frequency or channel, to the "B", or
> bottom, frequency or channel. Since most programming functions can only be
> done from the "A" side, we won't do much with this button. Also, be aware
> that there is no audible indication as to whether you have switched to "A"
> or "B". The only way you'd know would be by trying to program a memory and
> having the memory not program.
>
> The button on the right side of the display is the "Band" button. This
> determines whether you are entering VHF or UHF frequencies. This button 
> has
> no effect at all in channel mode.
>
> ã??
>
> Below these two buttons is what looks like a traditional DTMF keypad, 
> having
> four rows of four buttons each.
>
> This keypad, however, isn't exactly traditional in its layout. The top 
> four
> buttons are the "menu" button (used to open the settings menu), the "up"
> button, the "down" button, and the "cancel" button. In transmit, these
> buttons send A, C, B, and D DTMF tones, respectively. Below these, you 
> will
> find (left to right, top to bottom): 1, 2, 3, and scan/reverse (which is
> also the star key); 4, 5, 6, 0; 7, 8, 9 lock (which sends pound).
>
> Turning the Radio On
>
> To turn the radio on, turn the power/volume knob to the right until it
> clicks on. You will hear two short beeps, followed by an announcement of 
> the
> radio's mode. You will hear "Frequency mode" for VFO mode or "Channel 
> mode"
> for memory mode. The first time you turn the radio on, it will be in
> "Frequency" mode with "dual" receive mode enabled.
>
> In order to make using this radio a little easier, I recommend turning off
> the "Dual" receive option. Once turned off, this setting will be 
> remembered
> permanently. It can always be turned back on if you want or need it.
>
> Press "Menu". The radio will say "Menu".
>
> Press "7", then press "Menu". The radio will say "Dual stand by". Yes,
> really. She's hard to understand sometimes, but that's what she's saying.
>
> Press "0", then press "Menu". The radio will say "Confirm".
>
> Finally, press "Cancel" to exit the menu.
>
> I have been putting the "dual" in quotes, because it isn't really dual
> receive. It's more like dual watch, because audio from only one channel or
> the other is heard at any given time.
>
> To further complicate the issue, there is an option to have the transmit
> follow whichever channel (A or B) opens the receiver. If this option is
> turned on, it may be difficult to know where exactly you are transmitting.
> On the whole, it's probably best to just turn the dual function off.
>
> A Couple Other Initial Setup Tasks
>
> There are a couple of options that are turned on by default that it's best
> to turn off. Having these on will make operating the radio annoying either
> to you or to the people you're talking to.
>
> There are three settings for eliminating repeater tail tones or courtesy
> tones. It is not exactly clear what the differences are in these settings,
> but you want to turn them all off. There is also a "roger beep" setting 
> that
> you also want to disable. These are menus 35, 36, 37, and 39. Set all of
> these entries to 0:
>
> â?¢ Press "Menu", "3", "5", "Menu", "0", "Menu".
>
> â?¢ Press "Menu", "3", "6", "Menu", "0", "Menu".
>
> â?¢ Press "Menu", "3", "7", "Menu", "0", "Menu".
>
> â?¢ Press "Menu", "3", "9", "Menu", "0", "Menu".
>
> A Note About the Menu Key
>
> -
>
> When the Menu key is pressed, the radio will say "Menu". This key also
> functions as "Enter". Thus, after modifying a menu option, press the Menu
> key again to accept the change. The radio will say "Confirm" to 
> acknowledge
> a change in a menu's parameters.
>
> Changing Channels Or Frequency
>
> You can set the frequency by using the up/down buttons or by entering the
> frequency or channel number directly. Note that the numbers speak when
> pressed. Enter six digits for frequency, i.e. 146520 or 444100, and three
> digits for the channel number, i.e. 001, 024, or 114.
>
> (Since only six digits can be entered in the frequency field, entering
> frequencies containing more than six digits is accomplished by adjusting 
> the
> "step frequency"/Menu option 1, then using the up-down keys.
>
> frequencies in a 6.25 KHz channel spacing, like 467.7125, enter six 
> digits,
> such as 467.712. If you have the channel spacing (Menu 1) set to 6.25 
> KHz,/
> the radio will set the channel correctly. For frequencies in a 2.5 KHz
> channel spacing, such as 154.5275 set the radio to 154.525 and, with a 2.5
> KHz channel spacing (Menu 1, option 0) press the "Up" button once.
>
> (In menu 1, Step Frequency Option,
>
> 0 = 2.5 KHz
> 1 = 5 KHz
> 2 = 6.25 KHz
> 3 = 10 KHz
> 4 = 12.5 KHz
> 5 = 25 KHz.)
>
>
> See the menu section below for a more complete discussion of setting menu
> parameters.
>
>
>
>
>
> Programming Memories
>
> You can program memories either with a standard split or with odd splits.
> Remember that once a memory is programmed, it cannot be changed, short of
> deleting it and starting over. Memories store receive and transmit
> frequencies, along with receive and transmit CTCSS or DCS codes and 
> channel
> width (wide or narrow). Power level can be changed in memory mode.
>
> Programming a repeater channel with standard offsets:
>
> 1 Choose the "A" frequency, printed on the top line of the display. This 
> is
> probably already done, but if you go through all the steps to program and
> get a single beep upon the final press of "Menu", you are in the B VFO and
> need to press the "A/B" button.
>
> 2 If you are in channel mode, press the channel/frequency button. 
> Remember,
> channel mode will speak the channel number if you press the "up" or "down"
> button.
>
> 3 Ensure you are on the correct band. If you enter a frequency and the 
> radio
> says "Cancel" when you press the last digit, press the "Band" button to
> select the correct band.
>
> 4 Enter the repeater output frequency, such as 147060.
>
> 5 Press "Menu", "2", "6", "Menu". The radio will say "Offset frequency".
>
> 6 For 2 meter repeaters, enter 00600. For 70 cm repeaters in the US or
> Canada, press
>
> 05000. This may be different in other parts of the world.
>
> 7 Press "Menu", "2", "5", "Menu". The radio will beep but will say 
> nothing.
>
> 8 Press "0" for a 0 or Simplex offset, "1" for a plus (positive) offset, 
> or
> "2" for a minus (Negative) offset, then press "Menu". The radio will say
> "Confirm".
>
> 9 Set the CTCSS or DCS codes for transmit and receive, as appropriate. 
> These
> are in menus 11 and 12 for CTCSS and DCS receive respectively, and menus 
> 13
> and 14 for CTCSS and DCS transmit. CTCSS tones can be entered directly; 
> for
> instance, enter 885 for an 88.5 Hz tone, 1318 for a 131.8 tone, etc. See
> below for a list of DCS codes.
>
> 10 If the menu has exited, indicated by two very short bleeps, one higher
> followed by one slightly lower, press the Menu key to re-enter the menu.
> This should not be necessary often, as the menu stays up for close to 10
> seconds before timing out.
>
> 11 While in the menu, press 2, 7, Menu. The radio will say "memory 
> channel".
>
> 12 Enter a channel number from 000 to 127. However, be sure not to use a
> channel number that has already been programmed since the radio will not 
> let
> you overwrite a stored memory. Programming over a channel with data in it
> will simply change that channel's transmit frequency. Once the channel
> number is entered, press "Menu" again. The radio will say "Receiving
> memory".
>
> 13 Press "Exit".
>
> 14 Press the "Scan/Rev" button. This will swap over the transmit and 
> receive
> frequencies so that they are reversed. This is handy for listening to the
> repeater's input channel, in order to determinee whether a station is in
> simplex range or not.
>
> 15 Press "Menu", "2", "7", "Menu". The radio will say "Memory channel".
>
> 16 Enter the same memory channel you entered above in step 12. Then press
> "Menu" again. The radio will say "Transmitting memory".
>
> 17 Press "exit". You've set up a repeater channel. You will find it in 
> your
> list of program channels when you switch to channel mode.
>
> Programming A Repeater With An Odd Split
>
> Alternatively, you can specify your own transmit and receive frequencies. 
> In
> brief, you would program in the receive frequency first, then program in 
> the
> transmit frequency in the same way. This may be more reliable, since only
> the "A" display works for programming memories, thus, the radio can only
> remember one offset value for programming purposes. For this method, the
> offset value (memory 26) and offset direction (menu 25) don't matter at 
> all.
>
> To demonstrate, here is how you would program in the infamous 147.435
> repeater in Los Angeles into memory 99. This repeater has an output
> frequency of 147.435 and an input frequency of 146.400, a decidedly very 
> odd
> split. As there is no CTCSS tone, we won't worry with that in this 
> example.
>
> 1 If in channel mode, press the "VFO/MR" button at the top left corner of
> the front panel. to switch to Frequency Mode.
>
> 2 Press 1, 4, 7, 4, 3, 5.
>
> 3 Press Menu, 2, 7, Menu. The radio will say "Channel Memory". Then, type 
> 0,
> 9, 9, Menu. The radio will say "Receiving memory".
>
> 4 Press cancel to exit the menu.
>
> 5 Press 1, 4, 6, 4, 0, 0.
>
> 6 Press menu, 2, 7, menu. The radio will say "Channel memory".
>
> 7 Press 0, 9, 9, Menu. The radio will say "Transmit memory".
>
> 8 Press "Exit".
>
> 9 The odd split is now programmed.
>
> Again, remember that you can use this same procedure to program standard
> offsets, too. As long as you know the repeater's input and output, you can
> program them separately if you wish, and not worry about the repeater
> offsets.
>
> Changing Between VFO And Memory Modes
>
> You can switch easily between VFO ("Frequency") mode and memory 
> ("Channel")
> mode by pressing the top most button on the front of the transceiver. The
> voice will tell you whether you are in "channel mode" or "Frequency mode".
> Channel mode must have at least one channel programmed; there are at least
> two programmed from the factory. Incidentally, it's probably a good idea 
> to
> delete those channels and put your own data in them immediately. Deleting
> channels is done with menu 28.
>
> A channel can be directly set by entering it's three digit number on the
> keypad, such as 005, 022, or 122 for channel 5, 22, or 122 respectively. 
> The
> new channel number will be announced via a voice prompt.
>
> Adjusting Menu Options
>
> All menu options can be adjusted from the keypad. You can either scroll
> through the menu with the up/down buttons, or by directly selecting the 
> menu
> option you want numerically. So that you can most easily keep track of 
> where
> you are, I believe selecting options numerically is easiest, as there is,
> again, no audible indication of when the beginning or end of the menu is
> reached, and the menus wrap. Note that the menu begins with 0, not with 1.
> Menu 0 is the squelch adjustment.
>
> As with selecting menus, the menu options can be adjusted numerically. For
> instance, selecting menu 2 (to adjust the power level), press 0 for high
> power or 1 for low power. For offset direction (menu 25), you can select 0
> for no offset, 1 for a plus offset, or 2 for a minus offset. So, as menu
> options below are listed, the first option is always number 0, not number 
> 1.
>
> To adjust the menus, press the Menu key, which is the first key on the 
> first
> row of the main keypad. You will hear "Menu", at which time you can then
> enter a menu number or press the up/down buttons. Once you reach the menu
> you want, press the Menu key again. In most, though not all, cases,, you
> will hear voice confirmation of the name of the menu item you have 
> selected.
> In the cases where you do not hear a voice confirmation, you will just 
> hear
> a beep. Adjust the parameter by pressing numbers or up/down arrows. Once 
> the
> menu is set correctly, press the Menu key again. You will hear the word
> "Confirm" spoken to indicate that the option is set. You can then choose
> another menu item or press the cancel button to exit the menu. If you do
> nothing for about 10 seconds, the menu will exit automatically. In either
> case, you will hear a tone to confirm you are no longer in the menu 
> system.
