Chapter 2 Maintenance Introduction This chapter provides details about the following: • Preventive maintenance (inspection and cleaning) • Safe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices • Disassembly and reassembly of the radio • Installation of Option Boards Preventive Maintenance The radios do not require a scheduled preventive maintenance program; however, periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.
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 listed in the “Piece Parts” section of...
If a unit requires more complete testing or service than is customarily performed at the basic level, send this unit to a Motorola Authorized Service Center. (See Chapter 1, section 1.2.4 Technical Support on page 1-3 for a list of authorized service centers.) The following disassembly procedures should be performed only if necessary: •...
Maintenance Detailed Radio Disassembly 2.6.1 Front Cover from Chassis Disassembly 1. Turn off the radio. 2. Remove the battery: a. Pull down on the two battery-release buttons. b. With the buttons pulled down, the top of the battery will fall from the radio. c.
Maintenance 5. Separate the chassis from the internal electronics front cover assembly as follows: a. Insert a small, 3/16” flat-blade screwdriver, or similar instrument, in between the thin remaining wall and the chassis at the bottom of the radio. Do not mar the O-ring sealing area on the housing.
Maintenance 2.6.2 Chassis Assembly/Disassembly 1. If disassembly of the chassis or the main board is required, then use a TORX™ screwdriver with a T6 head to remove the four screws holding the main board to the chassis. Screws (4) Compliant Main Ground Contact...
Maintenance 3. To remove the keypad retainer shield: a. Insert the tip of a “penknife size,” flat blade screwdriver in the opening at the end of the keypad retainer arm tab. b. Pry the tab away from the side of the front cover until it moves past the ledges on the side wall.
Maintenance 2.6.4 Speaker, Microphone, and Universal Connector Flex Disassembly 1. If disassembly of the speaker-microphone assembly is necessary, remove the dustcover by turning the screw at the bottom of the dustcover counterclockwise with your fingers. Lift the dustcover out of its pocket. NOTE: The dustcover must be removed to remove the speaker-microphone assembly flex circuit.
Maintenance 6. After the universal connector tail of the speaker-microphone assembly is removed, the assembly can be completely removed. If it is necessary to replace the speaker or microphone, or both, do it while the flex circuit is removed from the front cover. When reassembling the microphone in its boot, make sure the microphone port faces the round hole in the bottom of the boot.
2-10 Maintenance 2.7.3 Option Board Reassembly 1. Replace the option board. 2. Insert the “top hooks” of the keypad retainer into the slots below the speaker (above the display) in the front cover. Snap all four of the retainer arm tabs in place in the front cover. NOTE: Pull the speaker-microphone flex circuit out of the way during reassembly.
Maintenance 2-11 5. Push the chassis assembly completely into the top of the front cover until it settles in place. 6. Be sure the O-ring is properly seated. 7. Snap the bottom of the chassis into the front cover. 8. Reassemble the knobs, dust cover, antenna, and battery. Radio Chassis Figure 2-10: Fastening the Chassis...
