This may cause the external DC power to be supplied directly to the internal battery which results in overheating the battery and blowing the fuse. To protect the battery, replace the fuse with a protection diode, part number ERB83-004. Note models with serial numbers greater than 801XXXX allready incorporate this diode as D16. Time required for this change is 1/2 hour or less.
