Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 4-2 MAINTENANCE OPTIMOD-FM 2200 page Routine Maintenance The 2200 OPTIMOD-FM Audio Processor uses highly stable analog and digital circuitry throughout. Recommended routine maintenance is minimal. 1. Periodically check audio level and gain reduction meter readings. Become familiar with normal audio level meter readings, and with the normal perform- ance of the G/R metering. If any meter reading is abnormal, see Section 5 for trou- bleshooting information. 2. Listen to the 2200's output. A good ear will pick up many faults. Familiarize yourself with the "sound" of the 2200 as you have set it up, and be sensitive to changes or deteriorations. But if problems arise, please don't jump to the conclusion that the 2200 is at fault. The troubleshooting information in Section 5 will help you determine if the problem is with OPTIMOD-FM or is somewhere else in the station's equipment. 3. Periodically check for corrosion. Particularly in humid or salt-spray environments, check for corrosion at the input and output connectors and at those places where the 2200 chassis contacts the rack. 4. Periodically check for loss of grounding. Ch
