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.
LINEAR AMPLIFIER CONTROL
To connect the linear amplifi er to the REMOTE
connector on the rear panel and to operate in the
HF or 50 MHz band, you can confi gure 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.

1:
Semiconductor Switch output. When transmitting,
set it to either perform a voltage output or a
short circuit to GND. It is possible to perform
the operation quietly, without activating the relay.
As a guide, a current of 10 mA or lower can be
controlled. In order to protect the internal circuit,
a resistance of 100 is inserted in series and
the voltage is shifted according to the fl ow of the
electric current. For example, when an electric
current of 10 mA fl ows, the voltage decreases
(when set as 1/2/3) or increases (when set as
4/5) by 1 V. Use a range that does not cause any
problems with your equipment.
*
2:
Mechanical Relay Operation. You can switch the
signal of the high voltage like a vacuum tube linear
amplifi er. It is possible to control the terminal
voltage of TL-922 (approximately -140 V).
*
3:
This function extends the time from when the
transmission starts to when the signal is sent
(normally approximately 10 ms), and from when
the transmission ends to when audio output starts
to be received (normally approximately 25 ms).
When using a linear amplifi er or other device that
takes a relatively long time to switch between
receiving and transmitting, or transmitting and
receiving, such as the TL-922, you can prevent
problems such as noise or malfunctions.
Delay Time:
CW/FSK: approx. 25 ms
SSB/AM/FM: approx. 45 ms
