Fuse Replacement:
The Magstim Bistim² must be disconnected from the mains by disconnecting the
power cord from both of the 200² units. Insert the tip of a small blade screwdriver or similar tool into
the slot below the arrow to lever the retaining lip enabling the fuse tray to be pulled out. Replace the
blown fuse(s) with one of the correct rating (See above to ensure the correct fuse is replaced) and
locate and push home the tray ensuring the retaining lip clicks into place.
Changing The Voltage Selector Setting:
The Magstim Bistim² must be disconnected from the mains
by disconnecting the power cord from both of the 200² units. Remove the fuse tray as instructed
above, rotate the voltage selector to the desired setting and replace the cover. A legend will indicate
the voltage selected when the fuse cover is replaced.
Note: Only replace fuses with those of the correct rating, and only operate the instrument with
the voltage selector set at the appropriate voltage. Failure to do so may cause serious damage
to the device(s).
