    Attention To avoid risk of fire only the appropriate fuses for the corresponding line voltage must be used 1. Turn off the TED200C and disconnect the mains cable. 2. The fuse holder (R10) is located below the 3-pole power connector of the mains jack (R8). Release the fuse holder by pressing its plastic retainers with the aid of a small screwdriver.
