iC-m59 Datasheet, PDF (30/36 Pages) List of Unclassifed Manufacturers – VHF MARINE TRANSCEIVER

6 CONNECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE
I Antenna
A key element in the performance of any communication sys-
tem is an antenna. Ask your Dealer about antennas and the
best places to mount them.
I Fuse replacement
Two fuses are installed in the supplied DC power cable. If a
fuse blows or the transceiver stops functioning, track down
the source of the problem, if possible, and replace the dam-
aged fuse with a new, rated one.
☛ Fuse rating: 10 A
I Cleaning
If the transceiver becomes dusty or dirty, wipe it clean with a
dry, soft cloth.
AVOID the use of solvents such as benzene or al-
cohol, as they may damage transceiver surfaces.
I Optional unit installations
In order to add the DSC or voice scrambler functions to the
IC-M59, the following optional units must be installed.
UX-120: DSC functions
OPC-457: GPS connection when UX-120 is installed
