Baofeng PTT Guard + Volume Dial for UV-5R

→ Prevent accidental volume adjustments
→ No more hotmicing

Baofeng PTT Guard in combination with volume dial is a must-have upgrade kit for any airsoft player or radio enthusiast. This kit includes:

• PTT guard to avoid accidentally pressing transmit button (especially when in a soft pouch)
• Volume dial with o-ring to prevent uninstentional volume adjustments
• Rubber band to keep the PTT guard and comms plug extra secure

This Baofeng PTT guard is made specifically for genuine Baofeng UV-5R / UV-5R-8W models to prevent hotmicing. Our PTT guard is made from durable PA12 Nylon and is fixed in place with the original screws used to mount the belt clip.

Our aluminum volume dial comes with an o-ring that adds extra friction to prevent accidental adjustments and has a nice knurling pattern that makes it easy to adjust even with gloves on.

While the PTT guard sits tightly against the radio by itself we often found ourselves using a rubber band to secure the comms cable tightly so we included it as well and made a special groove for it in the PTT guard.

Compatibility

✔ Compatible with Baofeng UV-5R-8W

This version might work with other Baofeng radios that are variants of UV-5R but we cannot guarantee compatibility unless it's listed above.

Instructions - 

1. Replace beltclip with PTT guard using the 2 screws that came with the radio.
2. Remove original volume dial by pulling it off.
3. Partially unscrew grub screw on the aluminum volume dial using 1.5mm hex key and align it on the radio volume shaft so it sits against the flat part.
4. Secure the grubscrew tightly (thread glue is recommended) and ensure smooth rotation. If the rotation force required is too high for your liking, you can lube the o-ring using silicone oil which will make it turn easier.
