REPLACING THE FUSE The unit's fuse protects it from short circuits and DC power surges. If the unit stops working and the POWER indicator is not on, replace the fuse. Use a fuse rated at 2 amps and at least 125 volts. For continued protection against a risk of fire hazard, replace only with same type fuse. Labelling on the fuse shows its type. To avoid a shock hazard, press POWER so that the button is off and unplug the unit's power cord before you replace the fuse. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the fuse compartment cap on the back of the unit. With some fuse holders, you can simply unscrew the fuse cap. Remove the old fuse and place the new fuse in the compartment cap. Then, replace the cap and use a screwdriver to screw it back into the fuse compartment.
