SECTION 6
SERVICE BULLETINS
This section is to be used by you to file the three classifications of service bulletins which are
periodically released by the Manager of Technical Support.
The following are brief descriptions of each classification:
FIELD CHANGE ORDER
A Field Change Order describes hardware or software changes to ATARI products and instructs
how to implement these changes. This identifies a failure mode which affects reliability and
describes a procedure to correct the failure. This procedure must be performed on all units
serviced or repaired.
UPGRADE BULLETIN
An Upgrade Bulletin describes product improvements or modifications which the consumer
may wish to purchase. These Bulletins allow you to modify the customer's unit to add
capabilities which may not have been available when the unit was originally manufactured.
TECH TIP
A Tech Tip is a document of a general nature which transmits routine service or repair
information. By communicating methods developed since you attended training classes, Tech
Tips aid to continuously improve repair skills and increase knowledge of ATARI Products.
Other times, Tech Tips alert you to units which have been modified and are now standard from
ATARI Manufacturing, but are different from many existing units and require different repair
techniques.
