MAINTENANCE

■ Fuse replacement

If a fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, try
to find the source of the problem, repair it, and replace
the damaged fuse with a new, adequately rated fuse.
CAUTION:
Disconnect the DC power cable
from the transceiver when changing a fuse.
The IC-7000 has three fuses (DC power cable fuses ×
2, circuitry fuse × 1) installed for transceiver protection.
• DC power cable fuses .......................... ATC20 30 A
• Circuitry fuse .......................................... ATC20 5 A
CIRCUITRY FUSE REPLACEMENT
The 13.8 V DC from the DC power cable is applied
to all units in the IC-7000, except for the power am-
plifier, through the circuitry fuse. This fuse is installed
in the FRONT unit.
R WARNING
cover using your finger nails, this may result in in-
jury.

■ Memory backup

All of the CPU's memory is backed up by an EE-
PROM (Electronically-Erasable Programmable
Read-Only Memory). All data you set, such as VFO,
memory, set mode contents, etc. are stored in this
EEPROM. There is no internal lithium battery.

■ Cleaning

If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty,
wipe it clean with a dry, soft cloth.

AVOID the use of strong chemical solvents
such as thinner, benzine or alcohol to clean
the transceiver. These may damage the
transceiver's surfaces.
