AC POWER FUSE REPLACEMENT

 

 

Never replace the fuse with any other value than a one (1) amp slow blow fuse, 250V for a unit 

configured to operate at 120V AC. Never use any other value than a one-half (1/2) amp slow 

blow fuse, 250V for a unit configured to operate at 240V AC. The AC Power Cord must be 

unplugged from the AC Power jack on the back of the unit prior to replacing the fuse. The fuse 

panel can then be removed from the unit by inserting the tip of a small screwdriver into the small 

tab at the top edge of the fuse panel and then pushing the panel out from the jack. The fuse is 

the 5mm x 20mm type and fits into the clip inside the fuse panel. After the panel is extracted, 

remove the old fuse from the mounting clip and install the new fuse in its place. Carefully slide 

the fuse panel back into the AC jack assembly after inserting the new fuse. Set the unit Power 

On/Off switch to the Off position and plug the AC Power cord back into the AC Power jack. Then 

set the Power On/Off switch to the On position and verify proper operation. Ask your Authorized 

Cary Audio Design dealer for advice if the fuse repeatedly blows. 

 

 

CARE AND CLEANING

 

 

The cabinet housing and front panel of the CAD 

Xciter 

may be cleaned with a soft cloth and 

Windex or a window cleaner. The frequency of cleaning will be governed by how many hours the 
CAD 

Xciter 

is operated and by the cleanliness of the operating environment.
