9.2 Preventive Maintenance
Regular maintenance is necessary to
maintain performance. Check the items
mentioned below monthly to keep the
equipment in good working order.
Antenna unit
Check fixing bolts for tightness.
Antenna cable
Check connector for tightness, rust, damage
and water leaks.
Power cable
Check for tight connection.
Ground terminal
Check for rust and tight connection.
Fuse
The 2A fuse in the power cable protects the
unit from overvoltage and equipment fault. If
the fuse blows, find out the cause before
replacing the fuse. If the fuse blows after
replacement, request service.
WARNING
Use only a 2A fuse in the power cable.
Use of different fuses may cause fire.
Battery
A battery installed on the NP board inside
the display unit preserves date when the
power is turned off. The life of the battery is
about three years. When the battery voltage
is low “NG” appears on the start-up display.
When this happens, contact your dealer to
request replacement of the battery.
