Signal Source
1. AM signal generator (AM SG)
2. FM signal generator (FM SG)
3. Sweep generator (10.7 Mhz for FM)
Output Indicator
1. SSVM
2. Oscilloscope
3. Frequency Counter
General preparation
1. Check source voltage.
2. Set function switch to band being aligned
3. Turn volume control to minimum (unless noted otherwise)
4. Connect low side of signal and output indicator to chassis ground unless otherwise specified.
Keep ground connection close to high side connection.
5. Keep signal inout as low as possible to avoid AGC and AFC action
(set output indicator to high sensitivity.)
6. Standard modulation is 1000 Hz AT 30% amplitude for AM (1000 Hz at 22.5 kHz deviation for FM)

BATTERY SENTINEL LEN ADJUSTMENT SETTING OF the 27 pin of IC2 (FOR SWITCH -ON POINT)
1. Plug unit into an AC outlet.
2. Set clock as described in owner's manual
3. Connect a DC power supply to the battery snap (inside battery compartment - no battery connected.)
Connect to DC voltmeter across battery snap.
4. Set DC power suply to 8.2 volts. Adjust 27 pin of IC2 to the point where the Battery Sentinel just turns on. Disconnect DC power supply and voltmeter.
5. Connect to a new battery . (Battery Sentinel Indicator will automatically be reset.)
