Assemble Radio

3.1 Replace the Transceiver Board
1. Inspect and if necessary, reapply thermal grease to the heatsinking pads in the chassis.
2. Before installing the connector retaining clips, ensure that the board is sitting flush on the
chassis mounting surface.
3. Install the 13 screws with 0.4 -07 NM (4-6 in lbs) of torque using a T8 TORX driver.
3.2

Replace the Top Cover and Control Head

1. Position the top cover over the chassis and replace. Ensure that the cross snaps into the
recesses.
2. Connect the control head to the radio by the flex.
3. Press the control head onto the radio chassis until the protruding tabs on the chassis snap into
the recesses inside the control housing, see Figure 3-4.
Maintenance
The thermal grease can act as an adhesive and cause the leads of the
heat dissipating devises to be over stressed if the board is lifted too quickly.
