The TYT MD-UV380 Plus and MD-UV390 Plus need to be placed into a programmable mode before the radio can be read or written with a code plug. This is achieved by holding two buttons while turning the radio on. These buttons are located both above and below the push-to-talk button. Ensure that the radio powers up until you can see the home page, where frequencies are listed. After completing this process, the radio can now be programmed.
- Turn the radio OFF.
- Hold down side buttons 1 and 2.
- Turn the radio ON while holding down these buttons.
- The radio is now in Programming Mode.
Important Note: If you repeat this process, you will set the radio in an unprogrammable mode. Reading a radio in unprogrammable mode and then writing that code plug to another radio will lock that radio, as the code plug is not a programmable one. However, if you load your unprogrammable code plug into a radio and then set that radio into programmable mode, it will transform the code plug into a programmable one, and it should function as intended on the radio.

Happy programming!
When attempting to install md-uv390 plus programming software I am encountering a "cannot access log files" error which prevents installation.
It sounds like the programming software may be blocked by antivirus software, however we need more information. If the radio was purchased from Buy Two Way Radios, please give us a call 8 AM to 6 weekdays at 1-800-584-1445 and one of our technicians will be happy to assist you.
