any such suit which are attributable to any such claim, but such defense and payments are
conditioned on the following:
A. that MOTOROLA will be notified promptly in writing by such purchaser of any notice of such
claim;
B. that MOTOROLA will have sole control of the defense of such suit and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise; and
C. should the Product or parts become, or in MOTOROLA's opinion be likely to become, the
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

Chapter 3 Transceiver Performance Testing

3.1

General
These radios meet published specifications through their manufacturing process by utilizing highaccuracy 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.
Although these radios function in digital and analog modes, all testing is done in analog mode.

3.2

Setup
Supply voltage is provided using a 7.5 VDC power supply. The equipment required for alignment
procedures is connected as shown in the Radio Tuning Equipment Setup Diagram, Figure 4-2.

Do NOT use any form of connector, e.g. wires, crocodile
clips, and probes, to supply voltage to the radio, other
than the Motorola approved battery eliminator.
Initial equipment control settings should be as indicated in Table 3-1. The remaining tables in this
chapter contain the following related technical data:

pressed before the last information display, the radio shall suspend the information display
until the user presses Right Navigation Key (X) 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. The default test environment is CSQ.

5-1

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.
• Disassembly and reassembly of the radio.
• Repair procedures and techniques.

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 front
cover, housing assembly and battery case. 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

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. After completing of the cleaning
process, use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth to dry the area. Do not brush or apply any isopropyl
alcohol to the frame, front cover or back cover.
NOTE Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination by

dissolved material (from previous usage).

!
Caution

5.3

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.

Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) 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 circuits and are especially important in low humidity
conditions. DO NOT attempt to disassemble the radio without first referring to the CMOS CAUTION
paragraph in the Disassembly and Reassembly section of the manual.

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 the Motorola Static
Protection Assembly (part number 0180386A82), which includes a
wrist strap, two ground cords, a table mat, and 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.

Parts Replacement and Substitution
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 (RPSO) 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.

Ensuring Radio Immersibility
This section discusses radio immersibility concerns, tests, and disassembly and reassembly of the
XPR series radios.

5.8.1

Servicing
The XPR series radios shipped from the Motorola factory have passed vacuum testing and should
be capable of restoring the watertight integrity of the radio.

!
Caution

5.8.2

It is strongly recommended that the maintenance of the radio be deferred to
qualified service personnel and service shops. This is of paramount importance
as irreparable damage to the radio can result from service by unauthorized
persons. If disassembly is necessary, unauthorized attempts to repair the radio
may void any existing warranties or extended performance agreements with
Motorola. It is also recommended that immersibility be checked annually by
qualified service personnel/workshop that is authorized by Motorola.

Accidental Immersion
If the radio is accidentally dropped in water, shake the radio to remove the excess water from the
speaker grille and microphone port area before operating; otherwise, the sound may be distorted
until the water has evaporated, or is dislodged from these areas.

5.8.3

Specialized Test Equipment
This section summarizes the specialized test equipment necessary for testing the integrity of the
XPR series radios.
To ensure that the radio is truly a watertight unit, special testing, test procedures, and specialized
test equipment are required. The special testing involves a vacuum check of the radio and pressure
testing (troubleshooting) for water leaks if the vacuum check fails. The specialized test equipment/
instrument (Table 2-2 on page 2-2) is authorized by Motorola and needed to perform the vacuum
check and pressure testing, if required. Any equipment/tools/instruments not mentioned in the table
must not be used to perform these test.

5.8.4

Vacuum Pump Kit NLN9839
The vacuum pump kit includes a vacuum pump with gauge, and a vacuum hose. A connector fitting
(part number 5871134M01) and fitting seal (part number 3271133M01) pump connector, which must
be ordered separately, connects the vacuum hose to the radio’s chassis.

5.8.5

Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Ensuring Radio Immersibility

Pressure Pump Kit NTN4265
The pressure pump kit includes a pressure pump with gauge, and a pressure hose. As with the
vacuum pump kit above, the connector fitting - fitting seal pair connects the pressure hose to the
radio’s chassis.

5.8.6

Miscellaneous Hardware
Other items needed for testing the immersibility radio include:

5.8.7

•

Large water container

•

Deionized (DI) water

•

A supply of replacement parts: Main seal O-ring, Battery Contact Seal, Breathing Vent Label
and Breathing Vent Membrane.

Vacuum Test
The vacuum test uses a vacuum pump and gauge. The pump creates a vacuum condition inside the
radio, and the gauge monitors the radio for a stable vacuum reading; that is, checking for a properly
sealed, watertight unit. Before starting the vacuum test:
•

Remove the battery.

•

Remove the universal connector dustcover to expose the universal connector.

•

Remove the breathing vent label and breathing vent membrane.

To conduct the vacuum test:
1.

Attach antenna firmly to the radio.

2.

Attach the vacuum hose to the vacuum pump. Check the pump and hose for leaks by
blocking off the open end of the hose and operating the pump a few times. The actual reading
of the gauge at this point is not important; it is important that the gauge pointer remained
steady, indicating no vacuum leaks in the pump.

3.

Ensure that the fitting seal is attached to the hose-to-chassis pump connector. Screw the
pump connector into the tapped hole in the chassis.

!

Please do not bend or over tighten pump connector to the chassis.

Caution

4.

Attach the open end of the hose to the pointed end of the pump connector.

5.

Place the radio on a flat surface with the chassis facing upward.

6.

Operate the pump until the gauge indicates 6 in. Hg of vacuum on the radio.Observe the
gauge for approximately 1 minute.

•

If the needle falls 0.5 in. Hg or less (one scale interval, for example, from 3 in. Hg to 2.5 in.
Hg), then the radio has passed the vacuum test and is approved for immersibility. No
additional testing will be required.

•

If the needle falls more than 0.5 in. Hg (one scale interval, for example, from 3 in. Hg to less
than 2.5 in. Hg), then the radio has failed the vacuum test and the radio might leak if

Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Ensuring Radio Immersibility

5-31

immersed. Additional troubleshooting of the radio will be required; complete this procedure,
then go to Section 5.8.8 "Pressure Test".
7.

5.8.8

Remove the vacuum hose and pump connector from the radio.

Pressure Test
Pressure testing the radio is necessary only if the radio has failed the vacuum test. Do not perform
the pressure test until the vacuum test has been completed. Pressure testing involves creating a
positive pressure condition inside the radio, immersing the radio in water, and observing the radio
for a stream of bubbles (leak). Since all areas of the radio are being checked, observe the entire unit
carefully for the possibility of multiple leaks before completing this test.
To conduct the pressure test:
1.

Screw the pump connector (with fitting seal) into the tapped hole in the chassis.

2.

Attach one end of the pressure hose to the pump connector and the other end to the pressure
pump.

3.

Attach antenna firmly to the radio.

4.

Operate the pump until the gauge reads approximately 1 psig.

!

Pressure any greater than 1 psig might push air around the main seal

Caution

5.

Maintain the pressure at 1 psig and immerse the radio into a water-filled container.

6.

Watch for any continuous series of bubbles. A stream of bubbles indicates a sign of leakage.

NOTE Some air entrapment may cause the accumulation of bubbles, especially in the grille area,

but the bubbles should not be continuous.

!

Please do not bend or over tighten pump connector to the chassis.

Caution

7.

Note all of the seal areas that show signs of leakage. Pinpoint the problem(s) to one (or more)
of the following areas:

•

Front Housing

•

Chassis (Main Seal O-ring)

•

Battery Contact Seal

8.

Remove the radio from the water container, and dry the radio thoroughly. Be especially
careful to dry the area around the main seal to prevent contamination of the internal

5-32

Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Ensuring Radio Immersibility

electronics while the unit is open

!
Caution

9.

Keep the area around the chassis’s vacuum port dry by ensuring that there is no
water around it.

Remove the pump connector from the chassis.

10. Radio after performing Pressure Test must undergo baking process in a temperature chamber
for constant temperature soaking at 60°C for 1 hour. This is to ensure no moisture is trapped
inside the radio and prevent contamination of the internal electronics after reassembling the
radio.

5.8.9

Troubleshooting Leak Areas
Before repairing any leak, first read all of the steps within the applicable section. This will help to
eliminate unnecessary disassembly and reassembly of a radio with multiple leaks. Troubleshoot
only the faulty seal areas listed in Section 5.8.8 "Pressure Test" on page 5-31, and when multiple
leaks exist, in the order listed.
NOTE Before reassembling the radio, always install a new Main seal O-ring, Battery Contact Seal

in the defective area.

5.8.9.1 Front Housing

Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures: Ensuring Radio Immersibility

5.8.9.4 Breathing Vent Membrane and Breathing Vent Label
To replace the Breathing Vent Membrane and Breathing Vent Label:
1.

Remove the Breathing Vent Label that covers the Breathing Vent Membrane from the
chassis.

2.

Remove the Breathing Vent Membrane.

3.

Ensure that the chassis’s surface (at the Breathing Vent Label & Breathing Vent Membrane
recessed) is clean, no/minimum scratches and free from any adhesive or other foreign
materials.

4.

Install a new Breathing Vent Membrane, covering the vent port hole, in the small recessed
area in the chassis. Ensure that no oily substance come in contact with the seal.

5.

Install a new Breathing Vent Label over the Breathing Vent Membrane in the larger recessed
area in the chassis. Press down evenly over the label’s surface to ensure good adhesion.

5.8.9.5 Battery Maintenance
1.

As part of an Annual Battery Maintenece Program or as required (when the battery contacts
are dirty or show signs of wear) it is recommended that the Battery‘s Radio-side and Chargerside contacts are cleaned with DeoxIT®GOLD cleaner/lubricant.

2.

DeoxIT®GOLD (Supplier CAIG Labs, P/N G100P) cleaner/lubricant pen has been found to be
very effective at cleaning and extending the life of the battery‘s contacts. DeoxIT®GOLD
cleaner/lubricant is available at numerous electronics suppliers (Radio Shack, McMaster Carr,
Fry’s, etc.) and directly from manufacturer, CAIG Labs, at http://www.caig.com.

3.

This pen based package is recommended as it provides better access to the recessed contacts of the battery. The pen’s tip may need to be modified (trimmed on the sides) to improve
penetration into the battery contact slots. Per the manufacturer’s instructions, shake the pen
until the fluid begins to flow and wipe the battery's contact surface with the felt tip. After
cleaning, inspect the contact surfaces for signs of advanced wear.

4.

Advanced contact wear is defined as wear through either the contact platings (gold and
nickel) to the base metal (copper). Copper exposure is characterized by a distinctive orangebrown metal appearance surrounded by the silvery nickel underplate and gold top coat.

5.

In some cases, a magnified (10x minimum) inspection may be required to verify wear through
to the base material. Polishing of the gold or nickel surface is common and is not considered
a need for replacement. In instances where advanced wear is evident, the battery should be
replaced.

6.

After cleaning the contact areas of any foreign material, let the lubricant/cleaner dry for 2 minutes. Replace the battery on the radio and test for intermittency by moving the battery relative
to the radio as might occur in regular use.

NOTE Regular maintenance (at least annually) of this area is recommended to ensure

contamination free interface and to prolong the life of the battery contacts.

Chapter 6 Basic Troubleshooting

6.1

Introduction
This chapter contains error codes and board replacement procedures. If the board does not pass all
the performance checks in Chapter 3 or exhibits an error code listed below, then the circuit board
should be replaced. If repair requires knowledge of details of component level troubleshooting,
please send 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 the section, "Service Aids" on page 2-2,
for the appropriate Motorola service aids and tools parts numbers.)

6.2

Replacement Back Cover Kit Procedures
Once a problem has been isolated to a specific board, install the appropriate service kit (See Model
Charts in Chapter 1), which is orderable. from Motorola Radio Products and Solutions Organization
at 1-800-422-4210.
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 the blank board to be entered
once. Be very attentive during this procedure.

6-2

Basic Troubleshooting: Power-Up Error Codes (Display Model only)

6.3

Power-Up Error Codes (Display Model only)
Upon powering up, the radio performs certain tests to determine if its basic electronics and software
are in working order. Any error detected has an associated error code that is presented on the radio
display. These error codes are intended to be used by a service technician when the radio
generates the Self Test Fail Tone. If these tests are successfully completed, the radio will generate
the Self Test Tone.
There are two classes of detectable errors, fatal and non-fatal. If it is considered as a fatal error, then
the normal radio operation will be inhibited. Fatal errors include hardware errors detected by the
microprocessor and certain memory errors. These memory errors include incorrect ROM checksum,
incorrect RAM checksum, and incorrect checksums of codeplug (Persistent Storage) blocks that
contain operating parameters. If the codeplug block operating parameters are corrupted, operation
of the unit on the proper frequency, system, and group are in question. Attempts to use this
information could provide the user with a false sense of security that others are receiving his
messages. Corrupted codeplug blocks of call IDs, or their associated aliases are considered nonfatal errors. While the user may be inconvenienced, normal communication is still possible.

Basic Troubleshooting: Operational Error Codes

Operational Error Codes
During radio operation, the radio performs dynamic tests to determine if the radio is working properly.
Problems detected during these tests are presented as error codes on the radio’s display. The
presence of an error code should prompt a user that a problem exists and that a Motorola Authorized
MOTOTRBO dealer should be contacted. Use Table 6-2 to aid in understanding particular
operational error codes.
