Set the system language of the transceiver to English or Japanese.
• English: The system language of the transceiver is English.
- Only alphabetical characters (A to Z, a to z, 0 to 9) and sym-
bols (! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~)
can be displayed. 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 ID-
51A/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 Japa-
nese 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. A partial reset will not clear
your call sign databases.
To do a partial reset of the CPU, do the following steps:
1. Push [MENU] .
2. Push D-pad() to select the bottom item, and
then push D-pad(Ent).
