Care and maintenance
Turn the power OFF before wiping away any dust and stains on the transceiver with a dry
soft cloth. For stubborn stains, slightly moisten a soft cloth and wring it out before using it
to wipe away the stains.
Caution:
Never use washing detergents and organic solvents (thinner, benzene, etc.).
Doing so may result in paint flaking or damage to the transceiver finish.
Replacing the fuse

inoperable, correct the cause of the problem, and then replace the fuse with a new one of
the correct rating (USA version: 25 Amp, EXP/European version: 20 Amp).
Caution:
When replacing the fuse, be sure to disconnect the power supply cable from
the transceiver and from the external DC power supply.
