We in the Elecraft world are very fortunate in that they allow us to update
our electronic (PDF) manuals, unlike the big three Japanese manufacturers. 
Open the manual in Adobe Acrobat Reader, select the text box icon (third
from the right), highlight a portion of the text you want to annotate, and
then you can paste (or type) in the firmware update text you want.  Then,
you'll see an icon by that text which, if you cursor over it, will display
the pasted text.

After you have pasted all the appropriate firmware update text into the
manual, save it with a different filename.  I simply add "Annotated" so I
know that copy is the annotated version.  I copy that file to all my
computers and to a thumb drive so I have the latest version available at all
times.  BTW, the new text will appear when you search (CNTRL+F) the
annotated file.  I find this simpler, cleaner, and more efficient than
updating the paper manuals.  I did the latter (a lot) during my 26-year USAF
career!

I'm stuck with using paper for the IC-7610 I won at the Dayton Contest
Dinner in May--thank-you Icom!
