MD-UV380 Plus

Upon installing the programming software for the TYT MD-UV380 Plus, MD-UV390 Plus, and MD-9600 two way radios, the language is set to Chinese by default. Since most Windows computers operating in the English language do not use a Chinese font, it usually displays indecipherable symbols and letters as a result. How do you change it to English?

In this quick video tutorial, Steven from our tech department at Buy Two Way Radios demonstrates how to change the language in the TYT Programming Software from Chinese to English.

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.
