It does not include information on specifications, installation and operation, which are described in the FT-990 Operating Manual, provided with each transceiver, or on FT-990 accessories, which are described in manuals provided with each. Servicing this equipment requires expertise in handling surface mount chip components. Attempts by non-qualified persons to service this equipment may result in permanent dam- age not covered by warranty. For the major circuit boards, each side of the board is identified by the type of the majority of components installed on that side. In most cases one side has only chip components, and the ntact MALATRON TECHNICAL SERVICES 25104 Fa BM S584 rquresenauionok other has either a mixture of both chip and lead components (trimmers, coils, electrolytic capacitors, packaged ICs, etc), or lead compo- nents only. While we believe the technical information in this manual is correct, Yaesu assumes no liability for damage that may occur as a result of typographical or other errors that may be present. Your cooperation in pointing out any inconsistencies in the technical information would be appreciated. Yaesu Musen reserves the right to make changes in this transceiver and the alignment procedures, in the interest of technological im- provement, without notification of the own- ers.
