Correct In-line Fuse For 3206 C? Mine Has 2a And Has Blown Twice.

The power supply for my Garmin 3206C has a 2A in-line fuse.  It has blown twice, which is very inconvenient.  Once it blew at a time which caused a potentially dangerous situation.  Is that the correct fuse for this unit?  If not, what is the highest A fuse I could use without posing a risk to the unit?
