They mean power mid scale, assuming you are using AFSK. The audio 
drive level should be low enough that there is NO indication of ALC 
action at all.

If I may make a suggestion: Connect your rig for FSK if at all 
possible. With FSK there is no chance of overdriving, and the ALC 
meter does not need watching at all. Any amount of ALC will cause no harm.

This is true for all transceivers, not just the FT-1000D.
