Situation: Now that the soldier has familiarized himself with the components, schematic
diagram, and circuitry of the TA-236/FT, he must start his troubleshooting procedures. If there is a DA
Form 2407, Maintenance Request attached to the telephone, he can verify the trouble symptom. If there
is no DA Form 2407, a preventive maintenance check would be performed. During the maintenance
check, broken components, wires, and loose terminations may be discovered. After the maintenance
check is performed, the repairer must continue the troubleshooting process by performing a continuity
check using the test equipment available.
