+I. EEPROM replacement
+  1. Backup the eeprom (k5prog, k5prog-win)
+     (How? - You must already know how to do this...)
+  2. Replace the eeprom with AT24C128, AT24C256 or AT24C512 (or compatible)
+  3. Restore the eeprom (k5prog, k5prog-win)
+  4. Test that the device is working as expected with the new eeprom
+
+II. Firmware update
+-------------------
+  1. Install the firmware from the folder matching the installed eeprom
+     (firmware-AT24C128, 256, 512)
+     (How? - You must already know how to do this...)
+
+III. Reset the the device
+-------------------------
+  1. Turn off the radio
+     (How? - You must already know how to do this...)

+  6. Press MENU key to select, repeat to confirm the selection
+
+IV. CHIRP Driver Load
+----------------------------
+  1. Enable Developer Mode in CHIRP
+    1.1 Go to Help --> Check "Developer Mode"
+    1.2 Restart CHIRP
+  2. Load uvk5_LZ3ATZmod.py in CHIRP
+    2.1 Go to File --> "Load Module"
+    2.2 Read the warning message and Accept if agree with the text
+    2.3 Navigate to chirp/uvk5_LZ3ATZmod.py from this archive and Open it
+   
+V. Using CHIRP
+--------------
+  1. Select Radio --> "Download from radio..."
+  2. Choose Port, Vendor: Quansheng, Model: UV-K5-LZ3ATZmod
+  3. Click OK to start downloading the configuration from the radio
+  4. Do some edits
+  5. Select Radio --> "Upload to radio..."
+  6. Click Ok to upload to the radio
+
+
+[*] The modified firmware will be auto-detected based on the firmware string.
+
+Notes:
+ * Use at own risk! Probably there are bugs lurking in the code so, make eeprom backups!
+ * The factory reset enables the DTMF Kill option. If there is a DTMF kill event written the radio will be locked.
+   Use CHIRP driver to disable DTMF lock feature
