TDS 420A, TDS 430A & TDS 460A Service Manual

Modules can be serviced by selecting one of the following three options. Contact
your local Tektronix service center or representative for repair assistance.

Module Exchange.

In some cases you may exchange your module for a reman-

ufactured module. These modules cost significantly less than new modules and
meet the same factory specifications. For more information about the module
exchange program, call 1-800-TEK-WIDE, extension 6630.

Module Repair and Return.

You may ship your module to us for repair, after which

we will return it to you.

New Modules.

You may purchase replacement modules in the same way as other

replacement parts.
