MAINTENANCE
GENERAL INFORMATION
Your transceiver has been factory aligned and tested to
specification before shipment. Under normal
circumstances, the transceiver will operate in accordance
with these operating instructions. All adjustable
trimmers, coils and resistors in the transceiver were
preset at the factory. They should only be readjusted by
a qualified technician who is familiar with this transceiver
and has the necessary test equipment. Attempting
service or alignment without factory authorization can
void the transceiver warranty.
When operated properly, the transceiver will provide
years of service and enjoyment without requiring further
realignment. The information in this section gives some
general service procedures requiring little or no test
equipment.
SERVICE
If it is ever necessary to return the equipment to your
dealer or service center for repair, pack the transceiver
in its original box and packing material. Include a full
description of the problems experienced. Include your
telephone number along with your name and address in
case the service technician needs to call for further
explanation while investigating your problem. Don’t
return accessory items unless you feel they are directly
related to the service problem.
You may return your transceiver for service to the
authorized KENWOOD Dealer from whom you purchased
it or any authorized KENWOOD service center. A copy
of the service report will be returned with the transceiver.
Please do not send subassemblies or printed circuit
boards. Send the complete transceiver.
Tag all returned items with your name and call sign for
identification. Please mention the model and serial
number of the transceiver in any communication
regarding the problem.
