Furuno FR-1710 manual Advanced-level Troubleshooting, Serviceman qualification, Service call

3.6 Advanced-level Troubleshooting

This paragraph describes how to cure hardware and software troubles which should be car- ried out by qualified service personnel.

Note: This radar equipment contains complex modules in which fault diagnosis and repair down to component level are not practicable by users.

Serviceman qualification

All adjustments of radio transmitter during or coinciding with the installation, servicing, or maintenance which may affect the proper operation must be performed by or under the imme- diate supervision and responsibility of a person holding an operator certificate containing a ship radar endorsement.

This is what the U.S. Codes of Federal Regulations part 80.169 implies (not exact extract).

As such, every administration sets forth its own rule; service personnel must be aware of this kind of competency requirements.

Service call

When making a service call to your service agent, check S/N and symptom beforehand.
