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 (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.

Use of a wrong fuse can result in fire and
damage the equipment.
