2. Disassembly and Reassembly 
2.1 Disassembling the Radio 
Step 1 Turn off the radio and remove the power cord, and loosen the two screws to remove the radio. 
Step 2 Remove the antenna.   
Step 3 Loosen the three screws to remove the front panel. Then remove the FFC. 
Step 4 Detach the volume control knob and loosen the four screws. Then remove the PCB from the 
control panel. 
Step 5 Undo the clips on both sides of the radio, and then remove the rear cover.

Step 6 Loosen the eleven screws to remove the upper shield cover.   
Step 7 Loosen the screw fixing the antenna connector and two screws fixing the PA module. Then take 
the PCB out. 
2.2 Reassembling the Radio   
To reassemble the radio, perform the above steps in a reverse way.

6.2.2 Testing the Radio 
After tuning all the items of the radio, you need to test the digital RF signal of the mobile radio via 
Aeroflex 3920 (Digital Radio Test set). 
Transmitting 
Step 1 Connect the mobile radio to Aeroflex 3920 via the antenna connector. 
Step 2 Open the Tuner software and go to “TEST -> TX -> Transmit BER (0.153)”. 
Step 3 Select the channel to be tested and select the corresponding power level (High Power or Low 
Power) in “Parameter” on Tuner. 
Step 4 Click the “Transmit On” button on Tuner. 
Step 5 Set the parameters on the Aeroflex 3920 as follows: 
 Frq: Be consistent with the TX frequency of the channel to be tested. 
 STD IB 511: .153 
Step 6 Observe the “avg” value of “UUT TX Bit Err” parameter in “UUT Measurements” module of 
Aeroflex 3920, which is the average bit error rate of the tested channel during transmitting. 
The radio is operating properly when the Aeroflex 3920 parameters are as follows:   
 FSK Error: ≤5% 
 Symbol Clock Err: ≤100 Hz 
 Signal Power: 3.9–4.5W 
 Magnitude Error: ≤1% 
 UUT TX Bit Err = 0% 

UHF1 (400–470 MHz) 
28 
Step 7 Click the “Transmit Off” button on Tuner to finish testing. 
Receiving 
Step 1 Connect the antenna connector of the radio to the RF port of Aeroflex 3920, and set Aeroflex 
3920 as follows (remain default values for other parameters): 
 Frq: Be consistent with the frequency of the channel to be tested. 
 STD IB 511: .153 
 Lv1 (signal strength): -116 dBm (-110 dBm by default) 
Step 2 Open the Tuner software and go to “TEST -> RX -> Receiver BER (0.153)”. 
Step 3 Select the channel to be tested and click the “Start” button on Tuner. 
Step 4 Observe the “Average Rate” displayed on Tuner. 
You can set different “Average Num” (the calculation base of BER, which is “10” by default) to 
obtain different “Average Rate”. 
Step 5 Modify the value of “Lv1” parameter of Aeroflex 3920, so as to obtain the average BERs of the 
tested channel under different signal strengths. 
The mobile radio is operating properly when the average BER is less than 5%. 
Note 
When the parameter “Lv1” is set to “-110 dBm”, the mobile radio is operating properly when 
the average BER is less than 1%. 
Step 6 Click the “Stop” button on Tuner to finish testing.
