1) Check the set for completeness:
Make sure that all the necessary components and accessories are on hand and ready for use. Never operate the transmitter without the antenna attached.

Make corrections where possible or report the faulty condition. Make sure that all knobs and exterior parts are on the set. Immediately report any that are
missing.
3) Check the condition of plugs, receptacles, and connectors:
Do not attempt to connect the set for operation until you are sure that the plugs and connectors are clean and in good condition and that the receptacles to which they must be connected are also clean and in
good condition.
