Final Draft Radio Programming and Tuning: Radio Tuning Setup Notes...
• Safe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices. • Repair procedures and techniques. • Disassembly and re-assembly of the radio. Only Motorola Service Centers or Authorized Motorola Service Dealers can perform this function. C a u t i o n Preventive Maintenance Periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.
Final Draft Disassembly And Reassembly Procedures: Preventive Maintenance 5.2.1 Inspection Check that the external surfaces of the radio are clean, and that all external controls and switches are functional. It is not recommended to inspect the interior electronic circuitry. 5.2.2 Cleaning Procedures The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the methods to be used when cleaning the external and internal surfaces of the radio.
• Ground the working surface of the service bench to protect the CMOS/LDMOS device. We recommend using the Motorola Static Protection Assembly (part number 0180386A82), which includes a wrist strap, two ground cords, a table mat, and a floor mat.
When damaged parts are replaced, identical parts should be used. If the identical replacement part is not locally available, check the parts list for the proper Motorola part number and order the part from the nearest Motorola Radio Products and Solutions Organization (RPSO) listed in Appendix A of this manual.
If a unit requires further testing or service than is customarily performed at the basic level, please send the radio to a Motorola Service Center Appendix A. To assure the safety and regulatory compliance of the SL1M, the radio must be repaired only at Motorola service facilities. Please contact your local dealer or Point of sale for futher instructions.
