Section  III-IV 

RESTRICTED 

AN  08-40SCR274-2 

(1)  FOR  TONE  OR  CW OPERATION. 

a

Set  the  "TRANSMITTER  SELECTION" 

switch  to  the  desired  preset  transmitting  frequency  in­

dicated on  the  write-in plate. 

(b) 

Set  the  "TONE-CW  VOICE"  switch  to 

either  "TONE" on  "CW". 

c

)  Turn  the  "TRANS.  POWER"  switch  to 

"ON"  position. 

(d) 

Wait  15  seconds  for  the  transmitter  to 

warm  up.  Leave  switch  on  throughout  the  flight  to 
avoid  repetition  of  the  1 5  second  warm-up. 

(e

Press  either  the  built-in  key  or  the  external 

key  to  transmit.  A  tone  of  approximately  1000  cycles 
per  second  should  be  heard  while  transmitting  in either 
the  "TONE" or 

"cw" 

position. 

(2)  For  "VOICE" operation. 

CAUTION 

Do  not  key  the  transmitter  with  the  built-in 

key, an external key, or the  microphone  switch 
when  the  controls  are  the  "VOICE"  position. 

(

a

Set  the  "TRANSMITTER  SELECTION" 

switch  to  the  desired  pre-set  transmitting  frequency  in­

dicated on the write-in plate. 

(b) 

Set  the  "TONE-CW-VOICE"  switch  to 

"VOICE"  position. 

c

)  Turn  the  "TRANS.  POWER  SWITCH"  to 

"ON"  position  and  let  it  warm  ur  for  15  seconds. 

(d) 

Press  the  Hpress-to-talk"  button  on  the  mi­

crophone  and  talk  clearly  and  distinctly  into  the  micro­
phone.  The  transmitting  dynamotor  will  not start  until 

the press-,to-talk button has been.closed.  Sidetone should 

be  heard distinctly  when transmitting. 

(3) 

Leave  the  HTONE-CW-VOICE"  switch  on 

"VOICE"  unless  controlled  use  on  "TONE"  or  HCW" 
is expected. 

SECTION  IV 

EMERGENCY  OPERATION  AND  REPAIR 

I.  FUSE  REPLACEMENT. 

a. 

FUSE  IN  RECEIVER  RACK. 

WARNING 

Dynamotor  DM-32-A,  on  each  of  the  receiv­
ers,  generates  250  volts  direct  current.  The 

danger  of  exposure  to  the  voltage  must  not 
be  ignored.  Make  certain  that  all  control 

switches  are  "OFF"  before  performing  any 
adjustment  to  the  equipment. 

(1)  Make  sure  the  "CW-OFF  MCW"  switch  is  on 

"0 

FF"  position. 

(2)  Remove  the  fuse  cover  located  on  the  top  end 

of  the  receiver  rack.  It  is  held  in  place  by  a  snapslide 
and stud. 

(3  Replace  the  bad  fuse  by  a  good  10  ampere  fuse. 

( 4)  Replace  the  fuse  cover. 

(5)  Place  the  HCW-OFF-MCW"  switch  to  either 

CW  or  MCW"  position,  if  further  operation  is  de­

sired. 

b. 

FUSE  IN  MODULATOR  UNIT. 

WARNING 

Dynamotor  DM-33-A,  on  the  modulator  unit 
generates  600  volts  direct  current.  This  is 

sufficient  to  cause  severe  shock  or  even  death. 

Make  certain  that  the  dynamotor  is  not  run­

ning  before  making  any  adjustment. 

(1)  Remove  Plug  PL-148  from  Modulator  Unit 

BC-456- ( 

)

*, 

or  if  this  -is  difficult  because  of  the  loca­

tion  of  the  equipment,  exercise  extreme  caution  to 

prevent  the  metal  fuse  end  from coming  in  contact  with 

the  fuse  cover  central locking  stud. 

(2)  Remove  the  fuse  cover  from  the  spare  fuses 

located to the  right of  the  dynamotor. 

(3)  Remove  the  fuse  cover  from  the  fuses  in  serv­

ice,  located  to  the  left  of  the  dynamotor.  Fuse  covers 

are  held  in  place  by  a  snapslide  and  stud. 

( 4)  Replace  the  bad  fuse  with  one  of  the  spare 

fuse  20  ampere fuses. 

( 5)  Replace  the  fuse  covers. 

(6)  PI�ce  the  "TRANS. POWER" switch to  "ON" 

position, if further operation is desired. 

Any issue  may be  used.
