The radio will be reset to factory default settings.

To perform the Soft reset:
There are 2 soft resets. The first soft reset resets all memories and the following settings to their factory default values:
Menu # 06 (AM Step)
Menu # 33 (DCS Code)
Menu # 52 (FM Step)
Menu # 56 (MEM Tag)
Menu # 76 (RPT Shift)
Menu # 82 (SSB Step)
Menu # 83 (Tone Frequency)

To perform this reset:
Back up all settings if it is possible, using a programming program such as Chirp or Yaesu's programming software.
Power down the radio.
Hold the [VM] button (Button #17) while turning on the rig with the POWER button (Button #5).
