Updating The Firmware; General; Caution - Icom IC-7600 Instruction Manual

General

The IC-7600's firmware can be updated if desired. By
updating the firmware, new function(s) can be added
and the improvement of performance parameters can
be obtained.
Refer to Preparation (p. 163) and
update (p. 164) for details.
Ask your dealer or distributor about how to update the
firmware if you have no PC.

Caution

CAUTION: NEVER turn the transceiver power OFF
while updating the firmware.
You can turn the transceiver power OFF only when
the transceiver displays that rebooting is required.
If you turn the transceiver power OFF, or if a power
failure occurs during updating, the transceiver firm-
ware will be corrupted and you will have to send the
transceiver back to the nearest Icom distributor for
repair. This type of repair is out of warranty even if
the warranty period is still valid.
Recommendation!
Backing up the settings and/or memory contents to
the USB-Memory before starting the firmware update
is recommended.
Settings and/or memory contents will be lost or
returned to default settings when the firmware update
is performed.

UPDATING THE FIRMWARE

dealer).
