MAINTENANCE
■ Memory backup
All of the CPU’s memory is backed up by an EEP-
ROM (Electronically-Erasable Programmable Read-
Only Memory). All data you set, such as memory con-
tents, set mode contents, etc. is stored in this EEP-
ROM. There is no internal lithium battery.
■ CPU resetting
If the IC-R8500 is behaving erratically, this may be an
indication of a CPU malfunction. In such cases, reset
the CPU.
While pushing [MW], push [POWER] in to turn on the
receiver power.
• The CPU is reset.
NOTE: Resetting the CPU clears all memory con-
tents and returns internal settings to their factory
defaults.
■ Cleaning
If the receiver 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
receiver. These may damage the receiver’s
surfaces.
For internal maintenance and optional installations,
disassemble the receiver.
q Remove 6 screws from the top of the receiver and
4 screws from its sides.
w Carefully lift up the top cover while disconnecting
the plug from the speaker cable.
e Turn the receiver upside down.
r Remove 6 screws from the bottom cover, then lift
up the bottom cover.
