Caution:
This equipment contains CMOS devices which are susceptible to dam-
age from static charges. Refer to Section 1.2 in Part A for more infor-
mation on anti-static procedures when handling these devices.
The following test procedures and fault finding flow charts may be used to help locate a
hardware problem, however they are by no means a complete fault finding procedure.
If you still cannot trace the fault after progressing through them in a logical manner,
contact your nearest Tait Dealer or Customer Service Organisation. If necessary, you can
get additional technical help from Customer Support, Radio Systems Division, Tait Elec-
tronics Ltd, Christchurch, New Zealand (full contact details are on page 2).
Refer to Section 5 where the parts lists, grid reference index and diagrams will provide
detailed information on identifying and locating components.
The following topics are covered in this section.
