Chapter 8 — Troubleshooting
8-1

Introduction

This chapter describes the primary troubleshooting operations that can be performed. Perform the
troubleshooting suggestions in the order in which they are listed.
Only qualified service personnel should replace internal assemblies. Major subassemblies that are shown in
the replaceable parts list are typically the items that may be replaced.
Because they are highly fragile, items that must be soldered may not be replaced without special training.
Removal of RF shields from PC boards or adjustment of screws on or near the RF shields will de tune sensitive
RF circuits and will result in degraded instrument performance.
