Beep Type Morse "AR" Meaning The current message memory is full. DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS The brightness of the LCD display can be selected from OFF, and 1 to 6 . 1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH control to access Menu No. 02. 2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select "oFF", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", or "6". 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. BACKLIGHT COLOR You can manually change the display illumination to suit the lighting conditions where you are operating. 1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 03. 2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select "1" (amber), "2" to "9" (mixed colors), or "10" (green). 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. PANEL KEY DOUBLE FUNCTION RESPONSE TIME You can set the response time of double function panel keys to normal or fast. The default setting is normal. 1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 04. 2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select "1" (0.2 second), "2" (0.5 second) or "3" (1 second). 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode. OPERATOR CONVENIENCES 12 LINEAR AMPLIFIER CONTROL To connect the linear amplifier to the REMOTE connector on the rear panel and to operate in the HF or 50 MHz band, you can configure to enable or disable the control signal state and the transmission delay time. 1 Press [MENU], then press [Q-M.IN]/ [Q-MR] or turn the MULTI/CH control to select Menu No. 59 (HF) or 60 (50 MHz). 2 Press [M.IN]/ [SCAN (SG.SEL)] to select "oFF", "1", "2", "3", "4", or "5". 3 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
