Here is an excellent video that shows how to change the battery. I've done it and it was rather easy to do. Just be careful to use good soldering techniques and handling of the components as they are

But wouldn't it also lose the settings as soon as you remove the old battery? You can't leave the rig powered up while replacing the battery because it requires too much disassembly. To bury a battery

I believe that I was wrong and the battery may well be just for the clock. I do know that the clock will reset every time the radio is turned off is the battery is dead. I believe that the frequencies

Nope! And changing the battery will dump your info.

Is there a way to get the remaining life of the battery? If it also holds the memory settings, I would hate to lose all of my memory settings – and it would be nice to replace the battery before that

When your clock resets every time y0u turn off your radio you will know that the battery needs replacement. It may be that the battery does not keep the frequency memory alive. that may be stored in f

There is a small silver oxide battery in the logic unit to maintain the radio memory. When it goes the radio will lose it's memory when turned off, battery or power supply no or off. You can tell beca

I've owned my IC-7000 since 2007 and never heard of this! Mine has spent its life on a series of AC powered supplies that are off far more than they're on (on a yearly basis). I know there have been t

Hi Thank you for the replies. It’s a simple Land Rover Defender so no fancy gadgets (alarm may well be a culprit too). I’ll test the standing current draw etc Happy New Year to you all Tom

If the battery is more than 3 or 4 years old, that is the most likely culprit.

I recall when I measured my Icom 706 it was on the order of a milliamp. I'm not next to my 7000 to measure it but I suspect it's similarly "not much". A switch won't hurt but I suspect it won't solve

I had three of them and never noticed, but then I did not run them mobile very much. I suspect that the parasitic loads from the car itself are in the same order of magnitude. I think that the radio j

Hi i have two IC7000 radios and I love them. I have one mobile in my car and it’s just great. However, I recall reading somewhere that even when the radio is “off” it’s still drawing a small current -

PWK goes to the lLOGIC unit via J651 to pin 135 on IC1302.

I assume that the start was the click - click problem that is usually a short in the control head taking out the 8 volt from the main board. After that was resolved I again assume that you had the 8 v

Hi Barron, Thank you for your information , in actually , I have been replaces all these four (28 pin x2 and 30 pin x2 ) FFC ribbon cables with new one , but the problem still happen . from the beginn

Just for the heck of it try changing the ribbon cables. at the front of the board. The cables are not expensive and are sometimes problematic. I have not had this particular problem, but have traced s

Hi Mark, I been a certain times not use my ic-7000 , last week when I try to turn it on , the ic-7000 response with click and click from the power relay and can not power on the ic-7000 , after I clea
