Icom IC-9100 Instruction Manual - Page 183

16 OPTION INSTALLATION ■ Opening the transceiver's case 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. The following are instructions for removing the covers of the IC-9100. R WARNING!
