Step 3

              Remove the Rubber Cushions

Each of the four legs has a rubber cushion on its bottom. For each cushion, insert a plastic opening tool between the plastic leg and rubber cushion, and pry off the rubber cushion.

Step 4

              Remove the Spanning Screw

Using a spanner screwdriver, remove the one 10mm long 7mm diameter spanner screw from the side of the brass panel.

Step 5

              Remove the Leg Screws

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the 10mm long 7mm diameter Phillips-head screws from the inside of all four legs.
The smaller leg at the bottom is now loose and not attached to the device. Set it aside.

Step 7

              Color the Wires

Color coordinating wire groups make it easier to identify the wire groups during reassembly.
Inside the device, there are three junctions with wires joined by Phillips-head screws. The first is connected to two wires, and the other two are connected to three wires each.
Unscrew the screw at the junction near the opposite side of the device from the front panel.
Label each of the two wires at this junction with a single color of tape.

Step 8

              Label the Second Wire Junction

Unscrew the screw at the junction just clockwise from the button panel.
Label the three wires of this junction with tape of a second color.

Unscrew the screw at the junction just clockwise from the button panel.

Label the three wires of this junction with tape of a second color.

Step 9

              Label the Third Wire Junction

Unscrew the screw from the wire junction just behind the front panel.
Label the three wires at this junction with a third color of tape.

Unscrew the screw from the wire junction just behind the front panel.

Label the three wires at this junction with a third color of tape.

Step 10

              Plug the Device into an Outlet

During these steps, DO NOT touch the wires directly. You may be electrocuted.
Plug the device’s power cord into a functioning outlet.

Plug the device’s power cord into a functioning outlet.

Step 11

              Check the Voltage between the Wires

Locate the two wires which are connected directly to the power cord. Unlike the other wires, they are sheathed in a particularly thick, dot-textured plastic.
Make sure the voltmeter is on and set to a setting beween 120 and 500V. For most voltmeters the proper setting for this is the 200V setting.
Attach one of the voltmeter’s probes to the metal portions of each of the two wires connected to the power cord’s end on the device
The voltmeter should read a number significantly above 20V. A reading between 100 and 150 V indicates that the device is getting enough power. A lower number indicates the power cord is broken.
