On the UV-5R there's a orange button marked VFO/MR. What is the purpose of this button? what is it used for?

The purpose of this button is UFO / MR to switch to baofeng and record or talking on the frequencies that are already recorded

There are two ways of inputting the frequency. The first way is the VFO or variable frequency oscillator. When your in this mode and you push the up arrow down arrow buttons, The frequency will go up or down. The MR stands for Memory. When in this mode you input a frequency into a memory channel. Now when you hit the up arrow or down arrow keys you change from one channel to the next. You can find this information and more at the web site in my review.

I use the tv/vcr button on the rf-10. I programmed the control to emulate my Toshiba Hi Def TV control using the "learning method" shown in the manual. On the toshiba, if you press the input button a screen comes up with a number of choices. I use hdmi 1 for the tv and hdmi 2 for the blueray/dvd. The different inputs can be selected by moving the cursor or by inputting a number. So, when I programmed a macro, the command sequence it (TV) ON, 8 second delay(16 pauses), tv/vcr,5 (to select hdmi1,(Audio),ON,(DVD),ON,CBL,TV/VCR. The commands in parentheses are the buttons on top of the control. I have to turn the dvd on because it only has one power button, which toggles on/off. My "off" macro turns everything off, whether I have watched TV or a DVD, so I have to make sure the dvd is on when the off macro starts. I have a bose sole speaker system, which also has a toggle on and off. It is the (AUDIO) button. Obviously, if you don't have one of these you skip this step. On my (CABLE) button, I emulate the cble remote, and use the tv/vcr button to stand for the tv/vcr button on the original cable remote.

It's the F5 button. There is no adjusting the brightness, however. It's just On or Off.

The top 4 buttons are to select the scene. The bottom button is a rocker to dim/brighten the last scene selected. I'd have preferred another scene button since I generally don't dim/brighten a scene but that's just me.

I held the UV Button down for about 5 seconds and it worked for me! The blinking stopped and the unit was re-set. But if you have any other questions, reach out to their customer service at guardian technologies! They were great at assisting me before. 1-866-603-5900 ext 213

It's just the model. The plus is just newer version of the uv-5r so they add a plus to it. I guess cause to make it sound better lol

UV is on when the button is in, off when it's out. When it's on there's a light that's kinda hard to see through the front inside.

I have used it on my UV-5R+ for a couple of months. The only thing is there is a sticker in the bottom to show how the batteries go in. I removed it so the batteries would fit deeper in the case other than that it is a great addition to a very good radio. On aside note I use a program called CHIRP to program channels I want if you have the programming cable.

Though I have not used Vox in my uv-3r, the function is there in the menu, and Vox is one of the features of that radio,

It's not a button. It's how you center the content. Think of it as a targeting device (crosshairs).

You use the Fn key. There is s function on the top right on one of the F keys you press along with holding down the Fn key.

Blue area buttons are for controlling your TV! You could assign those buttons to be anything you want. You point your original TV remote in to converter box remote and it intercepts the signal and records it. So they could be anything from MENU button to OPTONS it's your choice. You then don't need your original TV remote.

Go by the model number, the description is used for both and someone didn't edit it I guess. (Make sure you have the orange selected at the top of the page).

By default it's just a generic programmable button. I set it to act as the mouse wheel click, because I don't like clicking the mouse wheel. You can set it to practically anything you want through the software though, like keystrokes or macros. Hope that helps!

Hi Kevin.Not entirely sure as I only have the non-"V" model, but my best guess is that my model's key pad lights up when using it whereas I cannot find in the "V" product description if that is true. If that is the case, I find it a useful feature and probably worth the couple bucks extra. Hope that help!Tim

No, re buttons are only used to set the tuner to radio frequencies. There's a manual up and down, and an auto-seek type of function that looks for the strongest empty signal around you

I've had a couple of sets of these for going on for years now and I don't have any sign of where so to speak. I also picked A code that uses for different buttons. That could be a factor.
