4CONNECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Antenna

Akey element in the performance of any communication sys-
tem is an antenna. Contact your dealer about antennas and
the best places to mount them.

Fuse replacement

A fuse is installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a fuse
blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track down the
source of the problem if possible, and replace the damaged
fuse with a new rated one.
Fuse rating: 10 A, IC-F520/F620: 20 A

Cleaning

If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a
soft, dry cloth.
AVOID the use of solvents such as benzene or
alcohol, as they may damage the transceiver sur-
faces.
