IC7610 and IC7300 Battery clock issue

Dopo circa 2/3 anni si presenta il problema dell’orario sia sul 7300 che sul 7610, in particolare se non si utilizza la Radio tutti i giorni Vi capiterà di ritrovarvi l’orario da settare, Questo inconveniente è dovuto all’usura della pila al litio microscopica saldata sulla main unit che si trova smontando il coperchio di sotto. ho risolto il problema sostituendola con una classica pila al litio CR2032 presente in molte PC mother board per il bios.

Disclaimer: Suggerisco di eseguire la modifica solo ad OM con ottima conoscenza e attrezzatura per la gestione di componentisctica smd, non mi assumo nessuna responsabilità per eventuali danni all’apparecchiatura.

After  2/3 years the time erased arises both on the 7300 and on the 7610, in particular if you do not use the Radio every day you will happen to find the time to be set, This inconvenience is due to the wear of the microscopic lithium wing battery welded in main unit that is located by disassembling the lid below. I solved the problem by replacing it with a classic CR2032 lithium battery present in many pc mother board for the bios.

Disclaimer: I suggest to perform the mod.  only to people with excellent knowledge on equipment assembled with smd components, I do not assume any responsibility for any damage to the Radio.
