Maintenance - Kenwood TM-631A Instruction Manual

6. MAINTENANCE
6-1. 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 oper-
ating instructions. All adjustable trimmers and coils in your
transceiver were preset at the factory and should only be
readjusted by a qualified technician with proper test
equipment.
Attempting service or alignment without factory authoriza-
tion can void the transceiver's warranty.
When operated properly, the transceiver will provide many
years of service without requiring realignment. The infor-
mation in this section gives some general service procedures
which can be accomplished without sophisticated test
equipment.
6-2. SERVICE
Should it ever become necessary to return the equipment
to your dealer or service center for repair, pack it in its origi-
nal box and packing, and include a full description of the
problems involved. Also include your telephone number. You
need not return accessory items unless directly related to
the service problem.
Caution:
Do not pack the equipment in crushed newspapers for ship-
ment. Extensive damage may result, during shipment.
