Preface; Who Should Use This Manual; How This Manual Is Organized - Motorola iDEN i265 Field Service Manual

PREFACE

The iDEN i265 Digital Multi-Service, Data-Capable Portable Field Service Manual contains the
information necessary to identify and fix problems in the Motorola i265 Digital Portable. This unit
is based on digital technology and is designed to operate on iDEN systems.
Basic and field-level service for the i265 unit as described in this manual includes troubleshooting,
testing, board swapping, and maintenance.
Service for the i265 unit is based on the substitution method: a faulty part is replaced by a working
one, providing quicker service to the customer. For example, if the battery is faulty, it is replaced. If
the unit requires more complete testing or service than is available at the basic level, the unit is
processed to the next servicing tier, serviced, and returned to the iDEN Customer Care Center
(ICC).
NOTE: Before operating or testing this unit, please read the Safety and General Information
section in the front of this manual.
