The following instructions are used by qualified person only to avoid

electrical shock, do not perform any service other than contained in the
operation instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

6-1. Fuse Rating and type

If the fuse blows, the product will not operate. Try to determine and
correct the cause of the blown fuse, then replace the fuse with
correct rating and type shown as below:

WARNING: For continued fire protection, replace only

with 250V fuse of the specified type and rating, and
disconnect the power cord before proceeding fuse
replacement.

6-2. Cleaning
To keep the instrument clean, wipe the case with a damp cloth and
detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
