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.
