The Bearcat 880 is designed to give you years of trouble-free service.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Except for the fuse in the DC

power cord, no maintenance is required.

To replace a blown fuse:
1. Press ends of the fuse holder together. Twist to open. Carefully

separate the two pieces.

2. Remove the fuse and inspect. If blown, replace with the same

type fuse.

Use only the fuse specified for your Bearcat 880. Failure to do so may void your

warranty.
