Changing the fuse of the Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO power supply
To change the fuse, the enclosure of BOTW P&P ECO has to be opened.
Opening the enclosure is straighorward.
Step 1:
Turn "OFF" the BOTW P&P ECO and wait for 30
seconds unl the green LED is fully dimmed.
Disconnect the BOTW P&P ECO from your audio
device. Disconnect the BOTW P&P ECO from the
mains and remove the mains cable from the BOTW.
Step 2:
Turn the BOTW P&P ECO upside down. There
are 4 small screws on the boom side;
remove them.
Step 3:
Turn the BOTW P&P ECO back on its feet. The enclosure
can now be opened. This might be dicult. To make
this easier use a wooden clothespin, chopsck, or other
type of wedge to shove in the gap/line between the top
and boom parts of the enclosure.
Step 4:
When the enclosure is opened, you will nd
the fuse on the back side of the mains lter.
You can easily ip it out with a pencil or
chopsck.

Step 5:
Install the new fuse and install the enclosure cover back on the boom then
screw the 4 screws. And you are ready!
DO NOT use the BOTW P&P ECO without enclosure cover.
The mains lter contains a lethal voltage.
