BASIC OPERATION

■ Voice synthesizer operation

The IC-7410 has a built-in voice synthesizer to an-
nounce the operating frequency, mode and S-meter
level in clear, electronically-generated voice, in Eng-
lish (or Japanese).
First, select the desired parameters to be announced
in the Set mode. (p. 87)
Initial values for the voice synthesizer parameters
• SPEECH Level
• SPEECH Language
• SPEECH Speed
• SPEECH S-Level
• SPEECH [MODE] SW : OFF
➥ Push [SPEECH] to announce the S-meter level*
and currently selected frequency.
• If you hold down [SPEECH] for 1 second, the trans-
ceiver announces the operating mode after the fre-
quency.
* The S-meter level announcement can be turned OFF.
(p. 87)
➥ Push a mode switch to announce the appropriate
mode, when the "SPEECH [MODE] SW" item is set
to "ON" in the Set mode. (p. 87)

■ Meter Display selection

The transceiver has four transmit meter functions for
your convenience. In addition to Po and ALC, you can
display the SWR or COMP meter by holding down
[ANT•METER] for 1 second.
• Po : Displays the RF output power in % (percent).
• ALC : Displays 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, rotate the [MIC] control counter-
clockwise to decrease the microphone gain.
• SWR : Displays the SWR of the antenna at the fre-
quency.
• COMP : Displays the compression level when the
speech compressor is in use.
