3 BASIC OPERATION ■ Volume setting ➥ Rotate the [AF] control clockwise to increase the audio output level, counterclockwise to decrease it. Increases [AF] ."*/
#BOE Decreases ■ Voice synthesizer operation The IC-9100 has a built-in voice synthesizer to announce the operating frequency, mode and S-meter level in clear, electronically-generated voice, in English (or Japanese). First, select the desired parameters to be announced in the Set mode. (p. 164) Initial values for the voice synthesizer parameters • SPEECH Level : 50% • SPEECH Language : English • SPEECH Speed : HIGH • SPEECH S-Level : ON • SPEECH [MODE] SW : OFF • [SPEECH/LOCK] SW : SPEECH/LOCK (See NOTE as described below.) ➥ Push [SPEECH/LOCK] to announce the currently selected frequency, mode and S-meter level*. * The S-meter level announcement can be turned OFF. (p. 164) NOTE: If "SPEECH/LOCK" is not selected in the "[SPEECH/LOCK] SW" item of the Set mode, you should hold down [SPEECH/LOCK] for 1 second to activate the voice synthesizer. (p. 164) ➥ Push a mode switch to announce the appropriate mode, when the "SPEECH [MODE] SW" item is set to "ON" in the Set mode. (p. 164) ■ Meter Display selection The transmit meter can be toggled between three functions for your convenience. The RF power meter is always displayed. ➥ Hold down [ANT•METER] for 1 second to toggle the transmit meter function between SWR, ALC and COMP. • SWR : Displays the SWR of the antenna at the fre- quency. • ALC : D isplays the ALC level. When the meter move- ment shows the input signal level exceeds the allowable level, the ALC limits the RF power. In such cases, decrease the microphone gain level. • COMP : Displays the compression level when the 45 speech compressor is in use. [AF] 46#
#BOE Mode switches [SPEECH/LOCK] [ANT•METER] When ALC meter is selected. RF output power is displayed in % (percent), and it becomes the S-meter in receive.
