5.2 Fuse Replacement
A 5A fuse (type: FGBO-A 5A AC125V) in the power cable protects the equipment
against overcurrent, reverse polarity of the ship’s mains and internal fault. If the fuse
blows find the cause before replacing it. Contact your dealer about replacement. (A
7A fuse (type: FGMB 7A 125V) also is contained inside the display unit. Contact
your dealer about its replacement.)

Use of a wrong fuse can cause fire or
damage the equipment.
