- PRO34.6
- 17. On the component side of the PC board you will see lots of nifty surface
- mounted compone~ts, a fat little barrel capacitor (used for maintaining the
- channel freqs while you change the batteries.. and make modifications :)
- near the edge of the PC board you will see a couple of small diodes moutned
- vertically. These will be labeled on the PC board as D10 and D11, you will
- also see a place for another diaode to be soldered in but was not
- installed at the factory.. this is D9.
-
- 18. You must now move diode D11 to the place where D9 is labled. As you have
- probably noticed by now there is a tin cover over about 1/2rd of the
- PC boards solder side. The edge of the tin cover nearest the diodes has
- 2 metal tabs soldered to the P board. Desolder these 2 tabs and gently
- bend the metal cover way from the soder side of the PC board. This will
- expose the board enough to let you get your soldering iron in to where
- the diode leads are.
-
- 19. Desolder the D11 diode from the bottom while pulling it away from the board
- on the top of the board using neadle nose pliers on the LEAD only.
-
- 20. Now heat up the D9 solder pads and insert the diode (the same way it was
- oriented in the D11 location)
-
- You Have Completed the Mods for complete 800mhz band coverage and 66-88mhz band
- cov}rage.
-
- Follow the same steps backwards (20->1)and replace "remove" with "replace"
- and "desolder" with "solder"
-
- LASTLY, Now that you have made the mods, you can use the warranty card to
- light the Bar-B-Q Grill with. :-)
