from the power inlet. Open the fuse holder drawer by inserting a
small screwdriver under the tab and prying it open. Remove the
innermost (operative) fuse from its retaining tabs and replace the
fuse if necessary. A spare fuse is located in the outermost
chamber of the fuse drawer. Replace only with a fuse of exactly
the same value as the original. (Fuse type may be found in the
