3.3Transducer Maintenance

Marine life on the transducer face will result in a gradual decrease in sensitivity. Check the transducer face for cleanliness each time the boat is dry-docked. Carefully remove any marine life with a piece of wood or fine-grade sandpaper.

3.4 Replacing the Fuse

The fuse in the power cable protects the system from reverse polarity of the power supply and equipment fault. If the fuse blows, find the cause before replacing it. Use only a 1A fuse (61NM-125V, 1A, or equivalent FGBO-A, AC125V, 1A, Code No. 000-549-061). Using the wrong fuse will damage the unit and void the warranty.

WARNING

Use the proper fuse.

Fuse rating is shown on the equipment. Use of a wrong fuse can result in fire and damage the equipment.

3.2Cleaning the Display Unit

Dust or dirt on the display unit can be removed with a soft cloth. If desired, a water-moistened cloth may be used. Use special care when cleaning the LCD since it scratches easily. Do not use chemical cleaners to clean the display unit - they can remove paint and markings.
