Icom strongly suggests that the customer have their dealer or Icom distributor, for a reasonable fee, install
Icom options at the time of the order. Icom understands that even the simplest of installations demands the
judgment of a trained Icom technician. Therefore, Icom will not be responsible for damage to the optional
unit, or subsequent damage to the transceiver due to user installation problems. The option’s or the
transceiver’s Warranty can be voided in such situations, at the sole judgment of Icom. For those customers
who still wish to install their own options, nowing the ris s and possible consequences, the following
information is provided for information purposes only.
The following are instructions for removing the covers of the IC-7410.
WARNING ! Turn OFF the power and disconnect the C power cable from the transceiver before performing
any work on the transceiver. Otherwise, there is danger of electric shock and/or equipment damage.
