HX400

 

Alignment

 

 

The

 

HX400

 

has

 

been

 

carefully

 

aligned

 

at

 

the

 

factory

 

for

 

the

 

specified

 

performance

 

across

 

the

 

marine

 

and

 

LMR

 

bands.

 

Realignment

 

should

 

therefore

 

not

 

be

 

necessary

 

except

 

in

 

the

 

event

 

of

 

a

 

component

 

failure.

 

All

 

component

 

replacement

 

and

 

service

 

should

 

be

 

performed

 

only

 

by

 

an

 

authorized

 

STANDARD

 

HORIZON

 

representative,

 

or

 

the

 

warranty

 

policy

 

may

 

be

 

voided.

 

The

 

following

 

procedures

 

cover

 

the

 

sometimes

 

critical

 

and

 

tedious

 

adjustments

 

that

 

are

 

not

 

normally

 

required

 

once

 

the

 

transceiver

 

has

 

left

 

the

 

factory.

 

However,

 

if

 

damage

 

occurs

 

and

 

some

 

parts

 

are

 

replaced,

 

realignment

 

may

 

be

 

required.

 

If

 

a

 

sudden

 

problem

 

occurs

 

during

 

normal

 

operation,

 

it

 

is

 

likely

 

due

 

to

 

component

 

failure;

 

realignment

 

should

 

not

 

be

 

done

 

until

 

after

 

the

 

faulty

 

component

 

has

 

been

 

replaced.

 

We

 

recommend

 

that

 

servicing

 

be

 

performed

 

only

 

by

 

authorized

 

STANDARD

 

HORIZON

 

service

 

technicians

 

who

 

are

 

experienced

 

with

 

the

 

circuitry

 

and

 

fully

 

equipped

 

for

 

repair

 

and

 

alignment.

 

Therefore,

 

if

 

a

 

fault

 

is

 

suspected,

 

contact

 

the

 

dealer

 

from

 

whom

 

the

 

transceiver

 

was

 

purchased

 

for

 

instructions

 

regarding

 

repair.

 

Authorized

 

STANDARD

 

HORIZON

 

service

 

technicians

 

realign

 

all

 

circuits

 

and

 

make

 

complete

 

performance

 

checks

 

to

 

ensure

 

compliance

 

with

 

factory

 

specifications

 

after

 

replacing

 

any

 

faulty

 

components.

 

Those

 

who

 

do

 

undertake

 

any

 

of

 

the

 

following

 

alignments

 

are

 

cautioned

 

to

 

proceed

 

at

 

their

 

own

 

risk.

 

Problems

 

caused

 

by

 

unauthorized

 

attempts

 

at

 

realignment

 

are

 

not

 

covered

 

by

 

the

 

warranty

 

policy.

 

Also,

 

STANDARD

 

HORIZON

 

must

 

reserve

 

the

 

right

 

to

 

change

 

circuits

 

and

 

alignment

 

procedures

 

in

 

the

 

interest

 

of

 

improved

 

performance,

 

without

 

notifying

 

owners.

 

Under

 

no

 

circumstances

 

should

 

any

 

alignment

 

be

 

attempted

 

unless

 

the

 

normal

 

function

 

and

 

operation

 

of

 

the

 

transceiver

 

are

 

clearly

 

understood,

 

the

 

cause

 

of

 

the

 

malfunction

 

has

 

been

 

clearly

 

pinpointed

 

and

 

any

 

faulty

 

components

 

replaced,

 

and

 

the

 

need

 

for

 

realignment

 

determined

 

to

 

be

 

absolutely

 

necessary.

 

The

 

following

 

test

 

equipment

 

(and

 

thorough

 

familiarity

 

with

 

its

 

correct

 

use)

 

is

 

necessary

 

for

 

complete

 

realignment.

 

Correction

 

of

 

problems

 

caused

 

by

 

misalignment

 

resulting

 

from

 

use

 

of

 

improper

 

test

 

equipment

 

is

 

not

policy.

 

While

 

most

 

steps

 

do

 

not

 

require

 

all

 

of

 

the

 

equipment

 

listed,

 

the

 

interactions

 

of

 

some

 

adjustments

 

may

 

require

 

that

 

more

 

complex

 

adjustments

 

be

 

performed

 

afterwards.

 

Do

 

not

 

attempt

 

to

 

perform

 

only

 

a

 

single

 

step

 

unless

 

it

 

is

 

clearly

 

isolated

 

electrically

 

from

 

all

 

other

 

steps.

 

Have

 

all

ready

 

before
