SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY PRECAUTION metallic parts, one at a time. Measure The AC voltage across the combination of 1500 ohms resistor and 0.15 mF capacitor. Reverse the AC plug at the AC outlet and WARNING: Service should not be attempted by repeat AC voltage measurements for each exposed anyone unfamiliar with the necessary precautions on this metallic part.

ETON E1 ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE RF BOARD Before alignment is attempted, carefully examine the board for cold solder joints, solder bridges, and missing or incorrectly inserted parts. The board must be connected to a suitable controller or front panel board. A working audio board should also be used for listening during certain tests.
6. Enable DX (preamp on) and check for a 10 to 13 dB increase in level. (See Figure 6). 7. Disable DX (preamp off) and tune the unit to 1 MHz. Check the bandpass filter # B (1 – 2 MHz). It should look like Figure 7.

XM INTERFACE BOARD As with other boards previously tested, carefully examine the board for cold solder joints, solder bridges and missing or incorrectly inserted parts before applying power. A test fixture containing a main (RF) board and a front panel board will be needed to test this board, or a complete working receiver can be used.
FINAL TEST These tests should be performed on a unit which is completely assembled, using boards which have been tested and aligned as called out in the previous sections. left and right channels are functional. A. Inspect for appearance flaws. 2.
