Motorola ASTRO XTS 3500 Basic Service Manual page 15

WARNINGS
• Failure to use an FMRC Approved Product unit with an FMRC Approved battery or FMRC Approved
accessories specifically approved for that product may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of
an unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an FMRC Approved Product unit will negate the Approval
rating of the product.
Repair of FMRC Approved Products
REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH FMRC APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
You should not repair or relabel any Motorola- manufactured communication equipment bearing the FMRC Approval
label ("FMRC Approved Product") unless you are familiar with the current FMRC Approval standard for repairs and
service ("Class Number 3605").
You may want to consider using a repair facility that operates under 3605 repair service approval.
WARNINGS
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any FMRC Approved Product unit could adversely affect the
Approval rating of the unit.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in serious injury
or death.
FMRC's Approval Standard Class Number 3605 is subject to change at any time without notice to you, so you may
want to obtain a current copy of 3605 from FMRC. Per the December 1994 publication of 3605, some key definitions
and service requirements are as follows:
Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition—
Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done in an FMRC Approved facility.
Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the outer
casing of the unit to be opened in a manner which exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit. You do not have
to be an FMRC Approved Repair Facility to perform these actions.
Relabeling
The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are controlled to ensure
that any relabeling is limited to units that were originally shipped from the Manufacturer with an FM Approval label
in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the repair facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered
from the original manufacturer, as needed, to repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may be obtained and applied
by the repair facility, provided there is satisfactory evidence that the unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC
Approved unit. Verification may include, but is not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval label, a unit with a
defective housing displaying an Approval label, or a customer invoice indicating the serial number of the unit and
purchase of an FMRC Approved model.
Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola communications equipment certified by Factory Mutual is tested as a system and consists of the FM
Approved portable, FM Approved battery, and FM Approved accessories or options, or both. This FM Approved
portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items, even if the
substitute has been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications equipment unit. Approved
configurations are listed in the FM Approval Guide published by FMRC, or in the product FM Supplement. This FM
Supplement is shipped from the manufacturer with the FM Approved radio and battery combination. The Approval
Guide, or the Approval Standard Class Number 3605 document for repairs and service, can be ordered directly from
Factory Mutual Research Corporation located in Norwood, Massachusetts.
