In my English manual there are step-by-step instructions on page 114.  I 
haven't done this but here's what it says:

"In the event this internal fuse blows, it can be replaced.  However, this 
requires moderate transceiver disassembly.

-  With the top cover removed, locate the two screws mounting the fan 
assembly to the PA Unit heat sink.

-  Remove the screws and move the fan assembly to one side.

-  Remove the remaining 4 heat sink screws and lift the PA assembly from 
the chassis.  You will need to unplug the mini coax (with the yellow band) 
from the RX ANT IN connector on the BPF Unit.

-  Remove the four screws from the PA UNIT mount, and remove the mount to 
expose the BPF UNIT and the fuse labelled FH 1001

-  Using a pair of fuse pullers, remove the blown fuse and replace only 
with a similar fast-blow type fuse (0.5A maximum).

-  Reassemble the PA UNIT mount, yellow-banded coax cable, PA UNIT, and fan 
assembly in reverse order, then replace the top cover."

There is a drawing in the manual that shows FH 1001 located beside and a 
little in front of the Band Data jack and a little to the right (viewed 
from the rear of the radio)of three relays RL 1002-1004.  It is 
perpendicular to the back of the radio.
