subject of a claim of infringement of a United States patent, that such purchaser will permit
MOTOROLA, at its option and expense, either to procure for such purchaser the right to
continue using the Product or parts or to replace or modify the same so that it becomes
noninfringing or to grant such purchaser a credit for the Product or parts as depreciated and
accept its return. The depreciation will be an equal amount per year over the lifetime of the
Product or parts as established by MOTOROLA.
MOTOROLA will have no liability with respect to any claim of patent infringement which is based
upon the combination of the Product or parts furnished hereunder with software, apparatus or
devices not furnished by MOTOROLA, nor will MOTOROLA have any liability for the use of ancillary
equipment or software not furnished by MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with
the Product. The foregoing states the entire liability of MOTOROLA with respect to infringement of
patents by the Product or any parts thereof.
Laws in the United States and other countries preserve for MOTOROLA certain exclusive rights for
copyrighted MOTOROLA software such as the exclusive rights to reproduce in copies and distribute
copies of such Motorola software. MOTOROLA software may be used in only the Product in which
the software was originally embodied and such software in such Product may not be replaced,
copied, distributed, modified in any way, or used to produce any derivative thereof. No other use
including, without limitation, alteration, modification, reproduction, distribution, or reverse
engineering of such MOTOROLA software or exercise of rights in such MOTOROLA software is
permitted. No license is granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise under MOTOROLA patent

Notes

Chapter 3 Transceiver Performance Testing

3.1

General
These radios meet published specifications through their manufacturing process by utilizing
high-accuracy laboratory-quality test equipment. The recommended field service equipment
approaches the accuracy of the manufacturing equipment with few exceptions. This accuracy must
be maintained in compliance with the manufacturer’s recommended calibration schedule.

3.2

Setup
Supply voltage is provided using a 13.8 VDC power supply. (Note: applying 13.8 VDC at the DC
power cable will ensure a minimum of 13.2 VDC at the DC connector of the radio). The equipment
required for alignment procedures is shown in the Radio Tuning Equipment Setup Diagram,
Figure 4-4.
Initial equipment control settings should be as indicated in Table 3-1. The remaining tables in this
chapter contain the following related technical data:

NOTE: The radio stops at each display for 2 seconds before moving to the next information display.
If the information cannot fit into 1 line, the radio display scrolls automatically character by
character after 1 second to view the whole information. If the Top Navigation Button () is
pressed before the last information display, the radio shall suspend the information display
until the user presses Bottom Navigation Button ( ) to resume the information display. The
radio beeps for each button press. After the last display, RF Test Mode will be displayed.

3.3.2

RF Test Mode
When the radio is operating in its normal environment, the radio's microcontroller controls the RF
channel selection, transmitter key-up, and receiver muting, according to the customer codeplug
configuration. However, when the unit is on the bench for testing, alignment, or repair, it must be
removed from its normal environment via a special routine, called TEST MODE or air test.
In RF Test Mode, the display upon the first line is “RF Test”, together with the power level icon at the
right end of the first line. The display upon the second line is the test environment, the channel
number and channel spacing (“CSQ CHXX SP25”). The default test environment is CSQ.
1. Each short press of button P2 changes the test environment
(CSQ->TPL->DIG->USQ->CSQ). The radio beeps once when radio toggles to CSQ, beeps
twice for TPL, beeps three times for DIG and beeps four times for USQ.
NOTE: DIG is digital mode and other test environments are analog mode as described in
Table 3-3.
2. Each short press of button P1 toggles the channel spacing between 20 kHz, 25 kHz and
12.5 kHz. The radio beeps once when radio toggles to 20 kHz, beeps twice for 25 kHz and
beeps three times for 12.5 kHz.

(1 line each above and below the center row) until the top and bottom of the screen (row 7–0
and 9–16) is completely filled.
4. When the screen is filled up with the horizontal lines, any button press clears the screen and
displays vertical lines at column 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60. Any button press fills
the screen with vertical lines, (1 line to the right of all existing lines) until the display is filled.

Chapter 5 Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures

5.1

Introduction
This chapter provides details about the following:
• Preventive maintenance (inspection and cleaning).
• Safe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices.
• Repair procedures and techniques.
• Disassembly and reassembly of the radio.

5.2

Preventive Maintenance
Periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.

5.2.1

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.

5.2.2

Cleaning Procedures
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 control
head and housing assembly. 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 service 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

Use all chemicals as prescribed by the manufacturer. Be sure to follow all
safety precautions as defined on the label or material safety data sheet.
The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on
certain plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners and other
chemicals.

5-2

Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices

Cleaning External Plastic Surfaces
Apply the 0.5% detergent-water solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to
work all loose dirt away from the radio. Use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth or tissue to remove the
solution and dry the radio. Make sure that no water remains entrapped near the connectors, cracks,
or crevices.
Cleaning Internal Circuit Boards and Components
Isopropyl alcohol (100%) may be applied with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to dislodge
embedded or caked materials located in hard-to-reach areas. The brush stroke should direct the
dislodged material out and away from the inside of the radio. Make sure that controls or tunable
components are not soaked with alcohol. Do not use high-pressure air to hasten the drying process
since this could cause the liquid to collect in unwanted places. Once the cleaning process is
complete, use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth to dry the area. Do not brush or apply any isopropyl
alcohol to the frame, control head and housing assembly.
NOTE: Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination by
dissolved material (from previous usage).

5.3

Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) and Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide
Semiconductor (LDMOS) devices are used in this family of radios, and are susceptible to damage by
electrostatic or high voltage charges. Damage can be latent, resulting in failures occurring weeks or
months later. Therefore, special precautions must be taken to prevent device damage during
disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair.
Handling precautions are mandatory for CMOS/LDMOS circuits and are especially important in low
humidity conditions.

Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices

DO NOT attempt to disassemble the radio without first referring to the following CAUTION
statement.

!
Caution

This radio contains static-sensitive devices. Do not open the radio unless you are
properly grounded. Take the following precautions when working on this unit:

• Store and transport all CMOS/LDMOS devices in conductive
material so that all exposed leads are shorted together. Do not insert
CMOS/LDMOS devices into conventional plastic “snow” trays used
for storage and transportation of other semiconductor devices.
• Ground the working surface of the service bench to protect the
CMOS/LDMOS device. We recommend using a wrist strap, two
ground cords, a table mat, a floor mat, ESD shoes, and an ESD
chair.
• 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 4280385A59).
• Do not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS/LDMOS devices.
• Do not insert or remove CMOS/LDMOS devices with power applied.
Check all power supplies used for testing CMOS/LDMOS devices to
be certain that there are no voltage transients present.
• When straightening CMOS/LDMOS pins, provide ground straps for
the apparatus used.
• When soldering, use a grounded soldering iron.
• If at all possible, handle CMOS/LDMOS devices by the package and
not by the leads. Prior to touching the unit, touch an electrical
ground to remove any static charge that you may have
accumulated. The package and substrate may be electrically
common. If so, the reaction of a discharge to the case would cause
the same damage as touching the leads.

preferred components and solder assembly techniques to comply with the European
Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS 2) Directive 2011/65/EU and
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2012/19/EU. To
maintain product compliance and reliability, use only the Motorola specified parts in this
manual.

Any rework or repair on Environmentally Preferred Products must be done using the appropriate
lead-free solder wire and lead-free solder paste as stated in the following table:

Parts Replacement and Substitution
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 Appendix A of this manual.
Rigid Circuit Boards
This family of radios uses bonded, multi-layer, printed circuit boards. Since the inner layers are not
accessible, some special considerations are required when soldering and unsoldering components.
The printed-through holes may interconnect multiple layers of the printed circuit. Therefore, exercise
care to avoid pulling the plated circuit out of the hole.
When soldering near a connector:
• Avoid accidentally getting solder in the connector.
• Be careful not to form solder bridges between the connector pins.
• Examine your work closely for shorts due to solder bridges.

Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio – General

5.5

5-5

Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio – General
Since these radios may be disassembled and reassembled with the use of only eleven screws
(board to casting), it is important to pay particular attention to the snaps and tabs, and how parts
align with each other.
The following tools are required for disassembling and assembling the radio:
• Small Flat Blade Screwdriver
• Control Head Dismantling Tool (Motorola Part No. 6686119B01)
• Torque Driver (2–36 lbs-in or 0.2–4.0 N-m), (Motorola Part No. RSX4043A)
• TORX™ T10 Driver Bit (Motorola Part No. 6680387A74)
• TORX™ T8 Driver Bit (Motorola Part No. 6680387A72)
• TORX™ T6 Driver Bit (Motorola Part No. 6680387A70 - for use with Option Board only)
• 9/16” Deep Socket Driver (RF Connector Nut)
If a unit requires more complete testing or service than is customarily performed at the basic level,
please send radio to a Motorola Service Center listed in Appendix B.
The following disassembly procedures should be performed only if necessary.

Notes

Chapter 6 Basic Troubleshooting

6.1

Introduction
This chapter contains error codes and board replacement procedures. This section can help you
isolate a problem to the board level. If the radio does not pass all the performance checks in
Chapter 3 or exhibits an error code listed below, then the circuit board should be replaced. Please
send the radio to a Motorola Service Center listed in Appendix B.
NOTE: To access the various connector pins, use the housing eliminator/test fixture along with the
diagrams found in this section of the manual. (See Section, "Service Aids" on page 2-2, for
the appropriate Motorola service aids and tools part numbers.)

6.1.1

High Power RF Precaution

!
Caution

6.2

The radio might transmit while the technician believes the radio is in receive
mode under the following conditions: radio failure, digital affiliation, a
defective PTT button, or other unintentional activations.
To avoid possible equipment damage, when performing both transmit and
receive tests, a suitable attenuator rated at 100 W or more should always
be used with test equipment connected to the RF connector. The only
exception to this is when the equipment’s input power rating is higher than
the maximum output power of the radio.

Replacement Service Kit Procedures
Once a problem has been isolated to a specific board, install the appropriate service kit (see Model
Charts in section 1.5 on page 1-4 through section 1.8 on page 1-5), which is orderable from Motorola
Radio Products and Solutions Organization at 1-800-422-4210.
Refer to https://businessonline.motorolasolutions.com for further information.
If a board is replaced, it does not necessarily need to be retuned if it has been factory tuned. It
should however be checked for performance before being placed into service. Of particular concern
is the Bias DAC, which will need to be set for the appropriate final device bias current prior to keying
up the radio. If the bias is not properly set it may be possible to cause damage to the transmitter.

!
Caution

The Tuner Tool only allows the serial number of a blank board to be entered
once. Be very attentive during this procedure.

6-2

6.3

Basic Troubleshooting: Power-Up Error Codes

Power-Up Error Codes
When the radio is turned on (powered-up), the radio performs cursory tests to determine if its basic
electronics and software are in working order. Problems detected during these tests are presented
as error codes on the radio’s display. The presence of an error should prompt the user that a
problem exists and that a service technician should be contacted.
Self-test errors are classified as either fatal or non-fatal. Fatal errors inhibit user operation; non-fatal
errors do not. Use the following tables to aid in understanding particular power-up error code
displays.

Glossary

Glossary

This glossary contains an alphabetical listing of terms and their definitions that are applicable to
portable and mobile subscriber radio products. All terms do not necessarily apply to all radios, and
some terms are merely generic in nature.

Term

Definition

Analog

Refers to a continuously variable signal or a circuit or device designed to
handle such signals.

Band

Frequencies allowed for a specific purpose.

CMOS

Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor.

CPS

Customer Programming Software: Software with a graphical user interface
containing the feature set of a radio.

Default

A pre-defined set of parameters.

Digital

Refers to data that is stored or transmitted as a sequence of discrete symbols
from a finite set; most commonly this means binary data represented using
electronic or electromagnetic signals.

DPL

Digital Private-Line: A type of digital communications that utilizes privacy call,
as well as memory channel and busy channel lock out to enhance
communication efficiency.

FCC

Federal Communications Commission.

Frequency

Number of times a complete electromagnetic-wave cycle occurs in a fixed unit
of time (usually one second).

GPIO

General-Purpose Input/Output.

GPS

Global Positioning System.

IC

Integrated Circuit: An assembly of interconnected components on a small
semiconductor chip, usually made of silicon. One chip can contain millions of
microscopic components and perform many functions.

IF

Intermediate Frequency.

kHz

kilohertz: One thousand cycles per second. Used especially as a radio
frequency unit.

LCD

Liquid-Crystal Display: An LCD uses two sheets of polarizing material with a
liquid-crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the
liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them.

LDMOS

Laterally Diffused Metal Oxide Semiconductor.

LED

Light Emitting Diode: An electronic device that lights up when electricity is
passed through it.

MDC

Motorola Digital Communications.

Glossary-2

Term

Definition

MHz

Megahertz: One million cycles per second. Used especially as a radio
frequency unit.

Paging

One-way communication that alerts the receiver to retrieve a message.

PC Board

Printed Circuit Board. Also referred to as a PCB.

PL

Private-Line Tone Squelch: A continuous sub-audible tone that is transmitted
along with the carrier.

Programming Cable

A cable that allows the CPS to communicate directly with the radio using USB.

Receiver

Electronic device that amplifies RF signals. A receiver separates the audio
signal from the RF carrier, amplifies it, and converts it back to the original
sound waves.

Repeater

Remote transmit/receive facility that re-transmits received signals in order to
improve communications range and coverage (conventional operation).

RF

Radio Frequency: The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between audio
sound and infrared light (approximately 10 kHz to 10 GHz).

RX

Receive.

Signal

An electrically transmitted electromagnetic wave.

Spectrum

Frequency range within which radiation has specific characteristics.

Squelch

Muting of audio circuits when received signal levels fall below a pre-determined
value. With carrier squelch, all channel activity that exceeds the radio’s preset
squelch level can be heard.

TOT

Time-out Timer: A timer that limits the length of a transmission.

TPL

Tone Private Line.

Transceiver

Transmitter-receiver. A device that both transmits and receives analog or digital
signals. Also abbreviated as XCVR.

Transmitter

Electronic equipment that generates and amplifies an RF carrier signal,
modulates the signal, and then radiates it into space.

TX

Transmit.

UHF

Ultra-High Frequency.

USB

Universal Serial Bus: An external bus standard that supports data transfer rates
of 12 Mbps.

VHF

Very High Frequency.

VIP

Vehicle Interface Port.

XPR
