CONFIRMATION STEP 3: ANTENNA SYSTEM SIMPLE INSPECTION [RADIO]

id0903e3804200

• Because the antenna system is equipped with a capacitor, the continuity cannot be checked. Therefore proceed to the following simple inspection.

1. Turn the AM radio on.

2. Tune to the frequency with no broadcast and listen for a buzzing sound.

3. Turn a hand-held light on and shake it around the antenna rod (around 10—20 mm {0.40—0.78 in})

4. If a whirring sound from the speaker synchronized to the work light movement is confirmed, the antenna system is normal.

Note

• Use a fluorescent light type for the inspection. Accurate diagnostic cannot be done with an incandescent light.
