MAINTENANCE

The Bearcat 880FM 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
