cord, no maintenance is required.

To replace a blown fuse:

1. Press ends of the fuse holder       

together. Twist to open.
Carefully separate the 
two pieces.

2. Remove the fuse and inspect. 

If blown, replace with the same
type fuse.

Use only the fuse specified for your 

PC78XL

.

Failure to do so may void your warranty.
