INTRODUCTION:
Elapsed
Time
    1.  During preceding lessons you have learned how to install 
        the multiplexers, apply power, perform a pre-operational 
        test, install the Test Set TS 3647/G and use the test set 
        as an Order Wire to establish contact with the operator 
        at the distant end.

    2.  During the next 2 hours, we are going to discuss and practice 
        the installation of tactical analog telephones using TD-1233/TT 
        and TD-1234/TT multiplexers.

    3.  At the end of this period of instruction, you will be able 
        to install tactical analog telephones using TD-1233/TT and 
        TD-1234/TT multiplexers in 1 out of 2 attempts within 
        30 minutes.
