The vertical alignment adjustment screw of the RF is right beneath the hole, and can be reached by inserting a small screw driver through the hole. This hole is cover by a screw on the M2-M4, and I believe, on the M6 (which I don't own), it is covered by the non-reusable plastic disc. Since the technician adjusted the RF, he had to remove the disc and replaced it with a new one. --------------------------------------- Gand Huang LT Bell Laboratories, an AT&T company 200 Laurel Ave. 3B-216 Middletown, NJ 07748 U.
