D Firmware confirmation

The firmware version of the IC-7600 can be
confirmed during turning power ON.

corner.

■ 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
firmware 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.
