6. Manutenzjoni
6.1 Tindif
Biex tnaddaf l-istrument, uża drapp artabampened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the instrument is powered off and disconnected from all power sources before cleaning.
6.2 Sostituzzjoni tal-Fjus
If the instrument does not power on, the fuse may need replacement. The fuse holder is located on the rear panel. Always replace the fuse with one of the same type and rating as specified on the instrument (e.g., 250mA T, 100/120 VAC or 125mA T, 220/240 VAC).
- Skonnettja l-korda tad-dawl mill-istrument.
- Open the fuse holder cover.
- Remove the old fuse and insert a new fuse of the correct rating.
- Close the fuse holder cover securely.
7 Issolvi l-problemi
| Problema | Kawża Possibbli | Soluzzjoni |
|---|---|---|
| L-istrument ma jixgħelx. | No AC power; Blown fuse. | Check power cord connection; Replace fuse (refer to Section 6.2). |
