The activities of the radio and television maintenance professional are different and varied, as they include the installation, operation and maintenance of electronic devices such as radio, television, video, recorders, stereos and audio devices in vehicles (radio and recorder) in addition to the installation, operation and maintenance of satellite television station reception devices (antenna and receivers) and others, and professionals also work in selling and marketing these devices. Radio and television electronics professionals install equipment in homes, offices, or institutions. This process includes making the necessary extensions for antennas and installing them, making auxiliary electrical extensions, installing and storing the receiving channels for television, radio, video, and other devices, as well as connecting the interconnected devices (such as television and video devices). Then the professional explains to the customer how to use the devices and remote controls and how to recalibrate the devices and other activities that the customer may need to do. When these devices break down, home electronics professionals repair them. Each of these devices consists of many systems, which the professional needs to know, diagnose the malfunction in them, and maintain them. Some radio and television professionals work in selling and marketing various devices because their professional experience is important in explaining the advantages of different devices to customers and explaining the professional specifications, differences and advantages of each type of these devices.

For example, a television set consists of a wave reception system, an amplification system, a screen system, an electrical power system, and others. The first step in the process of repairing faults is to identify the faulty system. Professionals do this through their precise knowledge of these devices and how they work and by reading professional information catalogs (practical diagrams) for these devices. After identifying the faulty system, the professional examines the components of this system, starting from examining the connections and electrical elements to examining the electronic boards with all their elements. This examination is done using a multimeter and examination screwdrivers. As for the electronic parts and circuits, they are examined by measuring the important values ​​at the inputs and outputs of these circuits after passing inspection signals through them and comparing these values ​​with those found in the work tables for the electronic boards that are found in the professional catalogs of the devices. Modern technologies are currently used In detecting faults, such as electronic and computerized measuring devices that track faults and help detect them in the shortest time and with high rates of speed and performance. After identifying the faulty parts, the professional changes them or changes the electronic boards on which these parts are located. These parts are installed on the boards using welding devices that are also used to reconnect broken electrical and electronic circuits.

2- Professional development:
The possibility of starting as a radio and television professional assistant after graduation. The period varies according to previous experience and the ability to develop, and then work as a radio and television professional. It is also possible for his/her work to develop over time to become a specialist with experience. In medium and large workshops, it is possible to develop to work as a supervisor of electronics professionals, and many professionals create their own work.
