protect the electronic circuits in the GFA-565, it is recommended that it be replaced only with
one of the fuses listed in the table below. Please note that the fuses listed are for operation

Whenever the POWER switch on the front panel is turned on and the amplifier is energized,
the POWER LED will glow. If turning on the amplifier does not cause the POWER LED to
glow, it may be an indication that the AC LINE FUSE is blown. Unplug the AC LINE CORD
from the AC wall outlet and turn the POWER switch off and check the fuse. If the fuse is
blown, replace it with one of the fuses listed in the table below, plug the amplifier into its
AC-wall outlet and turn on the amplifier. If after replacing the fuse, it blows immediately upon
turning on the amplifier (POWER LED does not glow), a failed electronic component or
other internal malfunction must be suspected. Make no further attempts at fuse replacement
or operation of the amplifier. Refer the problem to competent ADCOM-authorized
service personnel .
NOTE
Before checking or replacing a blown fuse, make certain you UNPLUG THE AC LINE
CORD FROM THE AC WALL OUTLET TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
