For the diagram of keys see the User Guide, section The control keys and buttons

Flashlight is Fn+5 (called LED lighting in the diagram).

AFAIK, listening FM broadcast is not supported. See http://www.opengd77.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=891.

We have not been able to support FM broadcast reception , because it has been impossible to find any data on the Chinese chip that performs this function.
It is not the same chip used in other Boafeng radios

Heads-up in case someone is looking to buy a Baofeng RD-5R Radio - Radioddity have it in a "Flash Sale" at the moment, priced at US$49.99.

(about half of what I paid for mine 3 years ago).
