5. Maintenance

The FM-2710 is designed to provide years of trouble-free operation. It is, however, recommended to

inspect and maintain the following points to minimize the possibility of equipment failure and assure

optimum performance. Be sure to disconnect the power cable at the fuse holders before performing any

maintenance work.

5-1. Cleaning of Transceiver

Cabinet, LCD

Keep the unit clean and dry at all times. Dust or loose dirt accumulated on the front panel and knobs

should be wiped off with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use mild detergent and water on a cotton

tipped swab or soft cloth. Never use plastic solvents, such as thinner or acetone for cleaning; they may

dissolve paint coating/marking on the front panel and cabinet case.

Connectors

Check all connectors for foreign material and corrosion. If corroded, clean the contact and re-tighten

securely.
