3. Squeeze the two side clips on the fuse block while you pull out the block.

4. Remove the fuses from the block, then install the new fuses.

5. Position the fuse block with the small tab pointing down, then push in the block

until the side clips engage.

6. Connect the power cord, then power on the 2996 Detector.
