I have a # symbol in place of volume strength

I pulled this info from the manual. I am including a pic and the link. Hopefully this is helpful.

If you do not want to use the CLEARYL filter cartridge Blue, you will need to set the water hardness. The following water hardness settings are available: Water hardness Symbol(s) shown in display Level 1: 1-15 °dH 1 symbol illuminated Y Level 2: 16-23 °dH 2 symbols illuminated Y < Level 3: 24-30 °dH 3 symbols illuminated Y < > & T Touch the Descaling symbol. The Y, < and & symbols light up. T Touch the Y, < or > symbol to set the water hardness, e.g. symbol Y for 'level 1'. The Y and & symbols light up. & T Touch the Descaling symbol. The Water Tank symbol M lights up. T Place a receptacle under the coffee spout. T Remove the water tank. T Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water and reinsert it. The Y, < and > symbols flash. The system fills with water and the water flows directly into the drip tray. The operation stops automatically. The machine heats up. The Y, < and > symbols flash. The machine is rinsed, water flows out of the coffee spout. The rinse stops automatically. The Ristretto Y, Espresso < and Coffee > symbols and the symbol for 'strong' coffee strength _ light up. Your ENA is ready for use.

Hello,

I looked in the user guide of some other TalkAbout models and found the emblem you are describing. I believe it is the volume control emblem. Here is a link where you can look for yourself http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/T6200_User_Manual_E.pdf see page 24.

You might have one of three problems:
1) The volume potentiometer is going bad in one of the radios. If this is the case, you may be able to find a sweet spot where it will work. Try moving the volume knob to different settings and see if you can get it to work.
2) Something is wrong with your PL code setting, VOX setting, or another setting on the radio. Go back to square one, and reprogram the radio for simple operation with no special features turned on. Then try using the radios together. If you still cannot communicate, one of your radios is bad and the only way to tell is to introduce another known good radio into the mix.
3) The radio which will not transmit might have a bad battery. It takes more energy to Transmit than to Receive. Try swapping the batteries and see if the problem moves to the other radio. If so, replace your battery.

Here is a link to the T5620 user guide, just in case someone reading this needs it: http://www.giantintl.com/RadioPDFs/Outdated%20Manuals/T56XX_57XX_User_Manual_E.pdf

Best regards.

Press the radio on button and hold down.
A menu appears, displaying Adjust Initial Volume, release the power button.
Turn volume button to the right to display the Clock menu item.
Press the power button to select the Clock Menu item.
Rotate the volume button to adjust the hour.
Press the power button to move to minutes adjustment.
Rotate the volume button to adjust the minutes.

Hi,

The Pound Sterling sign is available. Please follow these steps:

1. On the keyboard hit the ?123 keyboard to bring out the numbers and symbols layout.
2. Now, hit ALT to show the alternate symbols layout. The Pound Sterling symbol is available in place of # in this layout.

Hope this helps. If so, please consider rating this solution.

#1: Atom arc rod is very good and expensive rod comparatively speaking. 8018 is similar to 7018. It is an all position rod but instead of 70,000 pound tensile strength , it has 80,000 pound tensile strength.7018 is commonly used in repairs or steel construction 8018 is used in appilcations where the need for a higher strength or stronger weld is called for . Usually when welding higher grade steel than A.-36 It can be used in place of 7018. 5/32 calls for 150+ amps. 1/8 is a more common size.Remember Atom arc is top of line but finding someone who will pay the difference or needs this rod may be hard to find.

Hope this helps I had same irratating problem
1. The RP200 is designed to automatically synchronize its calendar clock once it is brought within a range of 1500km of the Frankfurt DCF77 radio signal. When the RP200 is brought within this range, its auto-control mechanism will override all manual settings.
2. The clock automatically starts scanning the RF 433MHz signal after new batteries are inserted in the main unit. When receiving the RF 433MHz radio signal, the Radio Tower symbol starts to blink. A complete reception generally takes about 10 minutes, depending on the strength of the radio signal.
3. When the reception is complete, the Radio Tower symbol will stop blinking and remain solid
4. For an optimal reception, place the clock away from metal objects and electrical appliances (i.e. television, computer, monitor, etc) to minimize interference.
Notes:
• The unit will receive the RCC signals every day at 2am.
• The RCC signal can also be triggered by holding the key for 2
seconds in time mode.
• When the unit is searching or receiving the RCC signal (which lasts
about 5 minutes), none of the keys is working except the key.
• Press and hold the key for 2 seconds if you wish to stop to the
RCC signal search.
If the RP200 is brought outside the range of the Frankfurt DCF77 radio signal or if the signal is interfered, please set the time and date manually according to the instructions below. If the unit is located within the radio-controlled range, you may want to customize some of the clock settings.
Note: When no key is pressed for more than one minute, the unit returns to time mode (time, date and temperature display
World Time Clock
This function allows you to adjust the clock to a time zone. It is
particularly useful for travelers. Set the clock to the city you are located in, or to a city in the same time zone.
1. In time mode, press [MODE] twice to select the world time clock.
2. Press the key to select the city in which you are located.
3. Press to adjust the summer saving time function.
4. Press and hold [SET] to set the world time as the local time. When the local time is the same as the world time, the icon flashes.

Here is a link to the user manual for the SV600R. http://www.giantintl.com/ContentManage/manuals/Moto/SX600%2012-21-07.pdf Follow the instructions to reprogram the affected radio. Note: The problem you are describing may not be simply programming. The radio problem may be non-reversible. You might also try a new battery, or switch the battery from the other unit for a test, just to see if the battery is bad.

I know what you mean. Used to be a source of irritation in this otherwise super-quiet car. It was like "hey... the music plays far too loud now please drive a little slower dad". Really irritating on the Autobahn, constantly fiddling on that volume knob.

Interestingly, the instruction manual for the business CD main unit gave no clues at all! Then I found the solution at the bimmerfest BMW forum:

"
1.Power down the unit (using the knob) and power back up in the radio mode
(either AM or FM).
2. Hold down the "m" button (right of the display) until your display shows
a serial # xxxxxxxxxxx.
3. Using the "+" or "-" buttons that surround the center "musical note
symbol" button to the left of your display, scroll until "GAL 3" comes up,
which is factory setting. Using the number buttons 1 thru 6 below your
display, press the number "1". Your display will now read "GAL 1 ".
4. Power down the unit again (using the knob) and when you power back up,
your new setting will be effective!
5. To confirm that the new setting is active, repeat steps 2 & 3 to check
your "GAL" setting.
6. Enjoy your HK unit's volume the way YOU want to hear it!
"

I assume there are slightly different versions of this in different models but it goes something like this, the keyword you are looking for in the menu system is "GAL" which is a German acronym for speed-sensitive volume control (Geschwindigkeitsabhängige Lautstärkenregelung für Radio).

Good luck!

I assume yo have WinXP. 

Go into control panel>Regional & Language... Change your location to whatever you want it to be.  Keyboard assigned symbols are supposed to change accordingly.  But the keyboard printing remains the same so you need an "overlay" for your country.

You can also customize it to some degree also.  Play around with it and have some fun.
