knowledge on I
C or UART commands is necessary,
because ComPair takes care of this.
3. ComPair speeds up the repair time since it can

is working) and all repair information is directly available.
4. ComPair features TV software up possibilities.
Specifications
ComPair consists of a Windows based fault finding program
and an interface box between PC and the (defective) product.
The ComPair II interface box is connected to the PC via an

Caution: It is compulsory to connect the TV to the PC as

blown!
