So if the flashing save icon annoys you just set it to "off". You can always perform a reset of preferences or memories back to factory settings if you need to also. Don't be afraid to push buttons. That's how you learn. Every ham radio friend of mine says that it's a GREAT radio and the easiest to setup and program. Go thru the user manual. Use the settings and practice changing everything. Then practice putting in different frequencies and squelch, tones etc. That's the only way to get familiar so that you won't have to depend on the book when you just need to adjust something.
Oh and get on the air and talk! Just use it!
