on the back, and the strobe will function as before.

You may want to check why the problem occurred, so you can prevent this in the future.

Troubleshooting

below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following

steps.

If the DJ Switch does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. If the fuse is burned out, replace

the broken fuse with a new one, with the same specifications.

Response: Suspect two potential problem areas: the power supply or the fuse.

1. Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.

2. The fuse. See page 5 for the fuse.
