10. AM Signal Generator (108 - 136 MHz)
NOTE1 :Use non-metsttic tuning tools.
The test eauloment and Receiver should be warmed up at least 10 minutes before proceeding with alignment.
Input signal from the Generator should be kept as low as possible and still obtain usabie output.
NOTE 2: A 9·volt betterv is required to hold the memory when AC is disconnected . Always be sure the unit is loaded with
afresh 9·volt betterv or the pre-programmed channels will be last rand will have to be re-proçremmed}.
.•OTE 3: For servicing VHF Mid band of European/A ustralian models, see Appendi x on pages 41and 42.

ZEROMATIC FUNCTION AND HOW Ta CHECK IT
I
*Z eromatic functions when OUTPUT 1 is in "H" level.
To
adjust el vo ltage, receive signal in Manual mode , and set T105 to get half sup ply voltage (IC101, 4 pin). It is con -

In the event
Zeromatic does not function right, refer to " REFERENCE FREQUENCY asc ALlGNMENT" and check
