If Japanese characters (Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana) are included, the LCD shows "=" or "_" instead of that character. In this case, you can only delete "=" or "_" in the transceiver's edit mode. - The Display Language item will be hidden. • Japanese: The system language of the transceiver is Japanese. Kanji, Hiragana and Katakana characters, and the 2-bytes sym- bols can be displayed on the LCD. To display such characters in the DR function or Menu mode, Display Language must be set to "Japanese." Choose your language carefully When the system language of the transceiver is set to Japanese, the ID51A/E has the capability to display both English and Japanese characters. HOWEVER, if you select Japanese as the display language (p. 16-86), all menu items throughout the ID-51A/E 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 change the ID-51A/E's language to Japanese, and can't understand the menu system in the new setting, you will have to change the language back to English in "Display Language" or "System Language" (this item), or by doing a partial reset of the ID-51A/E CPU.
