17. UPDATING THE FIRMWARE

Updating the firmware
CAUTION: NEVER turn OFF the transceiver
while updating the firmware. If you turn OFF
the transceiver, or if a power failure occurs
while updating, the transceiver firmware will
be damaged, 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 transceiver warranty period is still valid.
