Usage:

Reference: In this issue, How To Use SIRS (Service Information Retrieval System) On Microfiche; How To Use SIRS (Service Information Retrieval System) On The Worldwide Information System (All Dealers except NACD).

In addition to the microfiche information retrieval system, you can access SIRS on the dealer terminal system. For more information on this subject, see the publication, Direct Inquiry-Service Information Retrieval System (SIRS)-User Instructions, Form SEBD3459. This manual contains the instructions for using the terminal to obtain information for service repairs and improvement of product performance.

Benefits of terminal inquiries of SIRS are:

... information is current. References to publications are available immediately after the publication date.

... fewer steps in the retrieval process compared to microfiche.

... saves time. Literature abbreviations and a range of years are now optional fields that can be used to make specific inquiries for literature.

... miscellaneous references in the Publications List are available now by using the literature abbreviation in the optional field.

... the references requested appear on the CRT screen and you can choose to print only those screens you actually want to keep on paper.
