Consult Technical Notes A technical note about each major change is published on the Technical
Support website. Technical notes giving details of any intervening minor
but important changes are also published. To access these technical
notes, follow the procedure below. It is advisable to print and store a
copy of every technical note published.
1. If not already logged on to the Technical Support website, do so
as described above. (Associate access is sufficient.)
2. Click the “Mobile Radios — TM8000” option. A list of facilities for
this product family appears.
3. Click the “Technical Notes” facility. A list of all technical notes
appears.
4. From the publication dates of the technical notes identify those
that follow publication of the PCB information pack in question.
5. Identify any of the above technical notes that apply to the control-
head board.
6. For each technical note identified in Step 5, click the adjacent
“view/download” command. The technical note is displayed. View
the document, print a copy, or save a copy in the test PC.
Alternatively, right-click the “view/download” command and select
the save or print option from the menu that appears.
7. Determine from the technical notes if any changes apply to the
required replacement component.
Obtain Replacement
Component
Determine if the required replacement component is included in Spares
kit 4; a contents list is supplied with the kit. (Check with TEL regarding
the availability of the kit.) If the required component is not included in
the kit, order the component from a CSO or, in the case of a CSO, from
TEL. Always ensure that the replacement component has the identical
specification to that given in the BOM. It is particularly important for
the tolerances to be the same.
