Scanner unit maintenance
D Cleaning
q
Wipe the surface of the scanner unit with a clean
soft cloth.
• DO NOT use harsh solvents such as benzene or alco-
hol.
w
Check that there is no dirt or caked-on salt.
• A heavy deposit of dirt or caked-on salt on the painted
surface of the upper scanner unit will cause a consider-
able drop in radar performance.
e
Check for cracks or deterioration of the rubber
packing and replace it, if necessary.
D Painting (MXR-5000T only)
To prevent the corrosion, paint the surface of the
scanner body (except the scanner unit) once or twice
a year.
D Mounting
Check the mounting bolts of the scanner unit and
tighten, if necessary.

Fuse replacement

replace the blown fuse with a new, properly rated one
as shown at right.
