Hi Don.

I did this just three weeks ago, so I think I can help.

To set up the dimmer to speak, press the MENU key.  Then rotate the VFO 
knob until you hear a low beep.  That will be menu 1.  Now starting with 
the low beep as 1, rotate the VFO knob clockwise, counting the next click 
as 2 then 3 and so forth up to 15.  Now press the OK button which is the 
fourth button to the right of the VFO knob.  No rotate the VFO knob one 
click Clockwise and press the OK button again.  That should program your 
dimmer button as the speech button.
