For Android devices, enable the location service and app location authorization to perform the search and connection in the app(The location function relates to privacy data, and MICTUNING assures that it won’t collect such data; it is required due to physical layer regulations on Android devices).

 

Q9: Can I replace the fuses in the control box?

A: Yes, BUT always use a new fuse with the SAME or LOWER amperage as the old one. For instance, replace a 30A fuse with another 30A or less; to replace a 5A fuse, do NOT use a 10A fuse.
