3.2 Cleaning 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.
3.3 Transducer
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 (FGMB
1A 125V, Code No. 000-114-805) or
equivalent. Using the wrong fuse will
damage the unit and void the warranty.

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