5 COMMUNICATING AIDS .. . RX Equalizer This function allows the sound quality to be altered by adjusting the characteristics of the RX frequency. 6 types of RX equalizer are available, which can be configured separately for each mode. A set of equalizer characteristics can be configured freely for each of the options between "User 1" and "User 3". Turning ON/OFF RX Equalizer Press F [RX EQ]. Pressing F [RX EQ] each time toggles the RX equalizer between ON and OFF. Selecting an RX Equalizer Characteristic 1 Press and hold F [RX EQ] to display the RX Equalizer configuration screen. 10 5 0 -5 -10 -15 -20 -25 -30100 101 102 103 OFF HB1 HB2 FP BB1 BB2 '-"5 Frequency (Hz) RX Characteristic Curve ● When the RX DSP equalizer is set to ON, the effect ("HB1"/ "HB2"/ "FP"/ "BB1"/ "BB2"/ "FLAT"/ "U1"/ "U2"/ "U3") is displayed at the lower end of the key guide. ● When the RX DSP equalizer is OFF, "OFF" is displayed at the lower end of the key guide. Adjusting the Equalizer Characteristics The equalizer characteristics can be customized according to the user's preferences. Also, the customized characteristics can be stored as user-defined settings. 1 Press and hold F [RX EQ] to display the RX Equalizer configuration screen. 2 Select an equalizer characteristic. 3 Press F4 [ADJ] to display the RX Equalizer Adjustment screen. 2 Press F2[ ] / F3[ ] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to select an equalizer characteristic. The selected equalizer characteristic turns on. Characteristic Purpose Boosts the high frequency component. This is High Boost 1 (HB1) effective for audio sound that contains a low frequency component. Boosts the high frequency component. The low High Boost 2 (HB2) frequency attenuation level for this option is half of that of the High Boost 1 option. This option attenuates frequency components Formant Pass (FP) that is outside the audio bandwidth so that the audio can be heard more clearly. Boosts the low frequency component. This is Bass Boost 1 (BB1) effective for audio sound that contains a high frequency component. Boosts the low frequency component. The low Bass Boost 2 (BB2) frequency is further boosted compared to Bass Boost 1. Flat (FLAT) This option has a flat frequency response. User 1 (U1) User 2 (U2) User 3 (U3) Frequency characteristics can be adjusted according to the user's preferences and stored in the options between User 1 and User 3. The flat frequency characteristic is selected in the default setting. 3 Press and hold F [RX EQ] or press [ESC] to end the process. 4 Press F3[ ] / F4[ ] to select the frequency to adjust. 5 Press F5 [-]/ F6 [+] or turn the [MULTI/CH] control to adjust the frequency level. • Touching a point on the RX Equalizer Adjustment screen selects the corresponding band and changes the frequency to the selected level. An alternative way is to touch a rough point followed by finetuning in steps 3 and 4. • Pressing and holding F2 [(RESET)] resets all the frequency levels to the default setting. 6 Press and hold F [RX EQ] or press [ESC] to end the process. ● Besides the User 1 to User 3 options, the equalizer characteristics of the other options can also be altered on the RX Equalizer Adjustment screen. ● If the configured level of the RX DSP equalizer deviates from the configured level of the adjacent frequency, the desired amount of attenuation may not be obtained. 5-4
