If you have installed a new screen or have an existing problem. You can fix the problem of an incorrectly showing display by using the following steps.

1. Contact Us for the MD-380 LCD Display Software
2. Download the Software to a temporary location, for example your desktop or downloads folder.
3. Extract the contents of the software to your desktop. You should have a file called "Factory_All_2.07"
4. Install the software by running as administrator. Installing to a C: Drive is fine, unless you prefer to install your software elsewhere.
5. Open the Software. On your desktop you should see "Factory_All".
6. You will see a screen shown below (Image 1)

At this point. You will need to try different LCD positons, depending on your screen problem. For example, LCD1 will flip the screen vertically, so if your image is correct but needs flipping horizontally, you might need LCD 3 for example.

Try the different options until you get the correct compatibility for your screen.

To apply the fix.

1. Choose an LCD type
2. Read the Data From the Radio
3. Write the chosen LCD selection to the Radio
4. Check your display, if it's not correct, repeat steps 7, 8 and 9 until it's correct.
