Maintenance +30 - Kenwood TM-701A 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 instruc-
tion manuals. All adjustable trimmers and coils in your tran-
sceiver has been adjusted at the factory and should only
be readjusted by a qualified technician with proper test
equipment. Attempting service or alignment without fac-
tory authorization 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.

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
