- Using the Base Charger: Place the radio into the charging cradle. Ensure the charging indicator lights up.
- Using Type-C USB: Connect a Type-C USB cable to the radio's Type-C charging port and to a compatible power source (e.g., USB wall adapter, vehicle charger, PC, power bank). The Type-C charging indicator will show the charging status.
- Charge the battery fully before first use.
5.2. Attaching the Antenna
Screw the antenna clockwise onto the antenna connector on top of the radio until it is finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
6. Operation
6.1. Power On/Off
To power on the radio, rotate the power/volume knob clockwise. To power off, rotate it counter-clockwise until it clicks.
6.2. Wireless Frequency Copy
This feature allows you to quickly copy a frequency from another radio without manual programming.
- Step 1: Power on your UV-K67 PRO walkie talkie. Press the "SWEEP" key (often labeled with a magnifying glass icon or similar). The screen will display "SEARCH SWEEK...".
- Step 2: Have the other walkie talkie transmit on the desired frequency. Your UV-K67 PRO will search for and detect this frequency. Once found, press the "MENU" key to confirm and store it.
- Step 3: Switch to channel mode (using the VFO/MR key). The display will show the copied frequency. You can now communicate on this frequency.
6.3. Channel Mode (MR) vs. Frequency Mode (VFO)
- VFO Mode (Frequency Mode): Allows direct input of frequencies and real-time tuning.
- MR Mode (Memory Channel Mode): Accesses pre-programmed channels.
Use the VFO/MR key to switch between these modes.
6.4. NOAA Weather Stations
The radio can receive broadcasts from 10 NOAA weather stations, providing timely hazard weather alerts.
6.5. FM Radio
To activate the FM radio, press the dedicated FM Radio key or navigate through the menu. You can scan for stations and save your favorites.
6.6. LED Flashlight
The built-in LED flashlight can be activated via its dedicated switch or a menu option, providing convenient illumination in dark environments.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Battery discharged or not properly installed. | Recharge the battery or ensure it is correctly installed. |
| No communication / Poor reception | Incorrect frequency/channel, out of range, antenna loose, low battery. | Verify frequency/channel settings. Move closer to other radios. Check antenna connection. Recharge battery. |
| Wireless copy frequency fails | Other radio not transmitting, signal too weak, incorrect procedure. | Ensure the transmitting radio is active. Follow the wireless copy steps precisely. Try again in closer proximity. |
| Audio distortion | Volume too high/low, poor signal, microphone too close/far. | Adjust volume. Improve signal reception. Speak clearly into the microphone at a moderate distance. |
