Calibration and Testing

Once everything is assembled take following steps to
calibrate the system,

1. Remove IC1, IC2, IC3 and IC4 from the IC bases.

2. Apply 18V ( to 22V Max.) DC source to the power
connector (J3). Fig.2 - DTMF output generated by the system at the
testing stages. (Test points : TRN1 input terminals)
