When you set the system language of the
transceiver to Japanese, the IC-9700 has the
capability to display both English and Japanese
characters. HOWEVER, if you select Japanese, all
menu items throughout the IC-9700 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 change the IC-9700’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 IC-9700 CPU. A partial reset will not clear your
call sign databases.
