I have one installed in an IC-706MkIIG. It announces the mode when I
change modes (USB - CW - RTTY - FM, etc.), and it announces the
S-meter reading, frequency and mode when I press and hold "Lock" for 2
sec.

The language (Japanese or English), speed, and S-meter reading
announcement on/off settings are selected from the Initial Set menu
(items 31, 32, 33, respectively), but I don't remember *having to* set
those before it would work.
