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, knowing the risks 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 DC power cable from the transceiver before performing
any work on the transceiver. Otherwise, there is danger of electric shock and/or equipment damage.
1. Remove the two screws from the carrying handle and remove it from the transceiver.
2. Remove the six screws from the top of the transceiver and the six screws from the sides, then lift up the
top cover.
3. Turn the transceiver upside-down.
CAUTION : NEVER HOLD THE UNIT BY THE DIAL OR ANY OTHER KNOBS when you turn the
transceiver upside down. This may damage them, or cause you to drop the transceiver.
4. Remove the six screws from the bottom, and then lift off the bottom cover.
You are now inside the transceiver. If you don’t have the access you like, you may have to
disassemble the front unit also.
Again, if you don’t need comfortable and don’t have the right tools, don’t even think to do the
following modification. It’s not worth to damage your brand new ICOM IC-7410 HF/50 MHz
transceiver. You must have experience working with SMD components and you also need to have
1 or 2 SMD diodes to solder to the right places, as shown to the following diagram. You will need
at least a low wattage soldering iron for SMD components and a powerful magnifying glass.
