===CAUTION===

Updating the firmware is very risky. If you make a mistake, the IC-7700 may not operate properly, and repair at Icom Inc.(Japan) may be the only way to fix it.

You undertake the updating of the firmware at you own risk and responsibility, Please refer to the firmware download homepage and/or the instruction manual for the correct procedures in updating the firmware.

Also all preciously set conditions, the memory contents, etc will be lost when making a firmware update.

Making a backup file of programmed contents and settings onto the USB- Memory before updating is recommended.

Do you agree to all of the above?

Firmware File Name

IC-7700 IP Address

Type the IC-7700’s IP address here.

Turn the IC-7700 power ON.

When the normal operational screen appears, set the firmware file name and IP address, then click [Start] button.

Updating the main CPU firmware first. It will take approx. 1 minute.

DO NOT turn the IC-7700 power OFF until "Completed" dialog is displayed.

Depending on the updated contents, the sub CPU and/or DSP firmware will automatically be updated when rebooting the IC-7700 and this will take approx. 2 minutes. DO NOT turn the IC-7700 power OFF until the normal operational screen appears, in such case.

Do you wish to start the firmware update?
