Chapter 1 Maintenance

1.0 Introduction
This chapter of the manual describes:
•

Preventive maintenance

• Safe handling of CMOS devices
• Repair procedures and techniques
NOTE The Servicing of your Intrinsically Safe Radios.
In order to maintain compliance, radios that are FM Approved to intrinsically safe
standards MUST be repaired at FM audited service centers. See Further Assistance From
Motorola on page 1-2 for more information.
1.1 Preventive Maintenance
Periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.
1.2

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.
1.3

Cleaning

The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the methods to be
used when cleaning the external and internal surfaces of the radio. External surfaces include the
front cover, housing assembly, and battery case. These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a
periodic visual inspection reveals the presence of smudges, grease, and/or grime.
NOTE Internal surfaces should be cleaned only when the radio is disassembled for servicing or
repair.
The only recommended agent for cleaning the external radio surfaces is a 0.5% solution of a mild
dishwashing detergent in water. The only factory recommended liquid for cleaning the printed
circuit boards and their components is isopropyl alcohol (100% by volume).
CAUTION: The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on
certain plastics. Aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals should be avoided.
1. Cleaning External Plastic Surfaces
The detergent-water solution should be applied sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-
bristled brush to work all loose dirt away from the radio. A soft, absorbent, lintless cloth or
tissue should be used to remove the solution and dry the radio. Make sure that no water
remains entrapped near the connectors, cracks, or crevices.
