SET MODE
When you set the system language of the transceiver
to Japanese, the transceiver has the capability to
display both English and Japanese characters.
HOWEVER, if you select Japanese, all menu items
throughout the transceiver system will be displayed
in only Japanese characters.
There will be no English item names. Unless you
are fluent in reading Japanese characters, use this
feature with extreme caution.
If you have changed the transceiver’s language to
Japanese and do not understand the menu system
in the new setting, you will have to change the
language back to English by doing a partial reset
of the transceiver CPU. A partial reset will not clear
your call sign databases.
To do a partial reset of the CPU, do the following
steps:
1. Push
.
2. Touch [SET].
3. Touch the item (with the “etc” icon) shown below.
4. Touch the bottom item shown below.
5. Touch the upper item shown below.
6. Touch the left item.
• The transceiver displays “PARTIAL RESET,” then
the partial reset is completed.
