3.1
Review and become familiar with entire procedure before beginning Calibration Process.
Unless otherwise designated, and prior to beginning the Calibration Process,
ensure that all test equipment voltage and/or current outputs are set to zero (0)
or turned off, where applicable. Ensure that all equipment switches are set to
the proper position before making connections or applying power.
3.2 Connect TI and test equipment to appropriate power source and set all POWER switches to ON. Allow a
2 hour warm-up time for the TI and allow test equipment to warm-up as required by manufacturer of test
equipment.

NOTE
Adjustment of the Time Base Oscillator is normal due to the Aging Rate of the
crystal, This is common to all Quartz Oscillators. However, in order to ensure
the reliability of the TI, the following action will be taken: If TI passes the
following applicable steps, NO ADJUSTMENT ACTION should be entered
into the Maintenance Data Collection System. If the TI failed, perform the
applicable steps listed in applicable Maintenance Technical Order or
Commercial Data and enter appropriate ADJUSTMENT ACTION into the
Maintenance Data Collection System.
