WARNING
Disconnect the line cord at the rear pan-

the instrument (front and rear) before
replacing the line fuse.
The power line fuse is accessible from the rear panel, just be-
low the AC power receptacle (see Figure 1-1). Perform the
following steps to replace the line fuse:
1. Insert a bladed screwdriver into the slot of the fuse car-
rier.
2. While pushing in, turn the screwdriver counter-clock-
wise until the spring-loaded fuse carrier releases from
the fuse holder.
3. Pull out the fuse carrier and replace the fuse with the
type specified in Table 1-1.
CAUTION
To prevent instrument damage, use only
the fuse type specified in Table 1-1.
4. Re-install the fuse carrier.
NOTE
If the power line fuse continues to blow, a
circuit malfunction exists and must be cor-
rected. Refer to the troubleshooting sec-
tion of this manual for additional
information.
