MAINTENANCE
■
Fuse replacement
If a fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, try
to find the source of the problem, and replace the dam-
aged fuse with a new, rated fuse.
CAUTION:
Disconnect the DC power cable from
the transceiver when changing a fuse.
The IC-756 has 2 types of fuses installed for trans-
ceiver protection.
• DC power cable fuses ............................... FGB 20 A
• Circuitry fuse ............................................... FGB 5 A
DC POWER CABLE FUSE REPLACEMENT
Circuitry fuse (FGB 5 A)
20A fuse
The transceiver has a lithium backup battery on the
inside of the front panel for clock and timer functions.
The usual life of the backup battery is approximately 5
years.
When the backup battery is exhausted, the trans-
ceiver transmits and receives normally but cannot re-
tain the current time.
