Confirmation Step 3

CONFIRMATION STEP 3: ANTENNA SYSTEM SIMPLE INSPECTION [AUDIO]

NOTE:
- Because the antenna system is equipped with a capacitor, the continuity cannot be checked. Therefore proceed to the following simple inspection.
1. Turn the AM radio on.
2. Tune to the frequency with no radio broadcast and listen for a buzzing sound.
3. Turn a hand-held light on and shake it around the antenna rod (around 10-20 mm)
4. If a whirring sound from the speaker synchronized to the work light movement is confirmed, the antenna system is normal.






NOTE: Use a fluorescent light type for the inspection. Accurate diagnosis cannot be done with an incandescent light.
