In instances where the product is covered under a "return for replacement" or "return for repair" warranty, a check of the product should be performed prior to shipping the unit back to Motorola. This is to ensure that the product has been correctly programmed or has not been subjected to damage outside the terms of the warranty.
Aftermarket and Accessory Division (AAD). If no part number is assigned, the part is not normally available from Motorola. If the part number is appended with an asterisk, the part is serviceable by Motorola Depot only. If a parts list is not included, this generally means that no user-serviceable parts are available for that kit or assembly.

INTRODUCTION Radio Model Information The model number and serial number are located on a label attached to the back of your radio. You can determine the RF output power, frequency band, protocols, and physical packages. The example below shows one portable radio model number and its specific characteristics. Table 1-1 Radio Model Number (Example: MDH25KDC9AA3AE) Type of Model...
WARNING: Do not disassemble the FMRC Approved Product unit in any way that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit. Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and FM Approval labeling. Radios will not be “upgraded” to this capability and labeled in the field.
REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA FMRC APPROVED PRODUCTS 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).
Repair of FMRC Approved Products 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 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.
Chapter 3 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 Repair procedures and techniques Installation of Option Boards Preventive Maintenance The radios do not require a scheduled preventive maintenance program; however, periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.
Wear a conductive wrist strap in series with a 100k resistor to ground. (Replacement wrist straps that connect to the bench top covering are Motorola part number RSX- 4015.) Do not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS devices.
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 Communications parts center listed in the “Piece Parts” section of this manual.
MAINTENANCE 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 for a list of authorized service centers.) The following disassembly procedures should be performed only if necessary: Chassis Assembly Disassembly (Paragraph 6.2)

Radio Disassembly — Detailed Pull the volume and channel selector knobs off of their shafts. Knobs Figure 3-2 Knob Removal NOTE Both knobs slide on and off. However, they are supposed to fit very tightly on their shafts. Separate the chassis from the internal electronics front cover assembly as follows: Insert a small, flat-blade screwdriver, or similar instrument, in between the thin retaining wall and the chassis at the bottom of the radio.
MAINTENANCE Lay the chassis down. Rotate the front cover backward and slightly away from the chassis. Lift the latches on the main circuit board to release the flexes from their connectors. Latches Flex Connectors Figure 3-4 Unlatch Flex Connectors Chassis Assembly Disassembly Use a TORX™...
Radio Disassembly — Detailed Remove the O-ring. Slide off the ground contact from the top corner boss of the radio chassis. Keypad, Display, and Keypad/Option Board Disassembly If the disassembly of the keypad, the keypad printed circuit board, or the display is required, lift the microphone flex circuit up, and carefully remove the microphone and its boot from the front cover pocket.
MAINTENANCE The keypad/option board, and the keypad, can be removed without the use of tools. Retainer Display Module Keypad/Option Board Keypad Radio Body Figure 3-7 Removing the Keypad Retainer and Other Boards from the Radio Body At this point, the Option Board Installation Procedure should be performed, if necessary.

3-10 MAINTENANCE Control Top Disassembly To remove the control top assembly, place a screwdriver next to the antenna boss, and pry it against the control top escutcheon. This will lift the control top escutcheon away from its double-sided adhesive. Grab the double-sided adhesive near the volume potentiometer, and lift it away.
Radio Reassembly — Detailed 3-11 NOTE Pull the speaker-microphone flex circuit out of harm’s way during reassembly. Re-insert the microphone and boot into the pocket in the front cover. Lay the speaker-microphone flex on top of keypad/option board retainer. Catches Retainer Figure 3-10 Lock retainer catches to the radio’s body Chassis Assembly Reassembly...
