This equipment contains devices which are susceptible to
damage from static charges. Refer to

This chapter provides enough fault finding information to allow you to trace
the fault to an individual board in the reciter. A faulty system interface board
can be replaced in the field. However, if the digital board or RF board is
faulty, you must return the complete reciter to your nearest Customer
