Hello Jean-Francois,

Also, be sure that the AGC is in fact turned ON. To be certain that it's 
on, simply tap the AGC button once. If it was previously off, that will 
turn it on, and if it was on already, it will simply change the AGC 
time-constant from either fast to slow, or the other way around.

If you are concerned that you never see more thatn one of the S-Meter 
LED's lit at a time, then you most likely have the "DOT" mode selected, 
as opposed to the "BARGRAPH" mode. To change it, locate the "GRPH" menu 
item on the Primary Menu. You'll notice three possible settings for GRPH:
bAr (Bargraph)
OFF (No S-Meter LED's will be displayed)
dOt (Only a single LED at a time will be displayed, as a power-saving 
feature)

If you select "bAr" you should see all S-Meter LED segments lit when the 
right-most LED is lit.

Hope this helps.
