Intrinsically Safe Radio Information
2.1 FMRC Approved Equipment
Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous concentrations of flammable
materials exist (hazardous atmosphere) is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic
safety and with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Association) Article 500
(hazardous [classified] locations).
An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC), lists manufacturers
and the products approved by FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has also issued a voluntary
approval standard for repair service (“Class Number 3605”).
FMRC Approval labels are attached to the radio to identify the unit as being FM Approved for
specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group along
with the part number of the battery that must be used. Depending on the design of the portable unit,
this FM label can be found on the back or the bottom of the radio housing. The FM Approval mark is
shown below.
Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the Intrinsically Safe, hazardous
atmosphere capability and FM Approval labeling. Radios will not be “upgraded” or converted to
Intrinsically safe, and or labeled in the field, after it has been shipped from the manufacturing
location.
• Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous
atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified (for example,
FMRC Approved) for such use. An explosion or fire may result.
• Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product in a hazardous
atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example,
cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries
and cause an explosion or fire.
• Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere.
Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing
accessories and cause an explosion or fire.
• Turn a radio off before removing or installing a battery or
accessory.
• Do not disassemble an FMRC Approved Product unit in any way
that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit.

Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer (Motorola) at one of its FM
audited manufacturing facilities.
2.2 Repair of FMRC Approved Products
REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH FMRC APPROVAL 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”). Repairs and service to be done
FM audited locations.
The following are key definitions, from the FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number 3605, 1994.
2.2.1 Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original
condition-Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done in an FMRC audited facility. Items not
considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the
outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner which exposes the internal electrical. You do not
have to be an FMRC audited Repair Facility to perform these actions.
2.2.2 Relabeling
The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are
controlled to ensure that any relabeling is limited to units that were originally shipped from the
Manufacturer with an FM Approval label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the
repair facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered from the original manufacturer, as needed,
to repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may be obtained and applied by the repair facility,
provided there is satisfactory evidence that the unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC
Approved unit. Verification may include, but is not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval label, a
unit with a defective housing displaying an Approval label, or a customer invoice indicating the serial
number of the unit and purchase of an FMRC Approved model.
• Failure to use an FMRC Approved portable radio unit with an
FMRC Approved battery or FMRC Approved accessories
specifically Agency approved for that product may result in the
dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio
combination being used in a hazardous location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an FMRC Approved
Product unit will negate the Approval rating of the product.
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any FMRC Approved Product unit
could adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous
atmosphere could result in serious injury or death.

Chapter 3
Maintenance
3.1 Introduction
This chapter provides details about the following:
lPreventive maintenance (inspection and cleaning)
lSafe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices
lDisassembly and reassembly of the radio
lInstallation of Optional Retrofit Kit
lInstallation of Option Boards
3.2 Preventive Maintenance
The radios do not require a scheduled preventive maintenance program; however, periodic visual
inspection and cleaning is recommended.
3.2.1 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.
3.2.2 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.
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 (70% by volume).
Cleaning External Plastic Surface
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 (70%) 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
NOTE: Internal surfaces should be cleaned only when the radio is disassembled for service
or repair.
CAUTION: Certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful effects on certain
plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals.

3-2 Maintenance
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.
3.3 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 following CAUTION
statement.
3.4 Repair Procedures and Techniques — General
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 Communications parts center listed in the “Piece Parts” section of this manual
(See page 1-2).
NOTE: Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination
by dissolved material (from previous usage).
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:
lStore and transport all CMOS devices in conductive material so that all exposed
leads are shorted together. Do not insert CMOS devices into conventional plastic
“snow” trays used for storage and transportation of other semiconductor devices.
lGround the working surface of the service bench to protect the CMOS 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.
lWear 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.)
lDo not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS devices.
lDo not insert or remove CMOS devices with power applied. Check all power
supplies used for testing CMOS devices to be certain that there are no voltage
transients present.
lWhen straightening CMOS pins, provide ground straps for the apparatus used.
lWhen soldering, use a grounded soldering iron.
lIf at all possible, handle CMOS 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.

Maintenance 3-3
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 the 20-pin and 40-pin connectors:
lAvoid accidentally getting solder in the connector.
lBe careful not to form solder bridges between the connector pins.
lExamine your work closely for shorts due to solder bridges.
Flexible Circuits
The flexible circuits are made from a different material than the rigid boards, and require different
soldering techniques. Excessive prolonged heat on a flexible circuit can damage the material.
Therefore, avoid excessive heat and excessive bending.
For parts replacement, use the ST-1087 Temperature-Controlled Solder Station with a 600-700
degree tip, and use small diameter solder such as ST-633. The smaller size solder will melt faster and
require less heat to be applied to the circuit.
To replace a component on a flexible circuit:
1. Grasp with seizers (hemostats) the edge of the flexible circuit near the part to be removed.
2. Pull gently.
3. Apply the tip of the soldering iron to the component connections while pulling with the seizers.
3.5 Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio — General
Since these radios may be disassembled and reassembled with the use of only four (board to casting)
screws, 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 the radio:
l3/16” flat blade screwdriver
lPenknife-size screwdriver
lTORX™ T6 screwdriver
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, section 1.2.4 Technical Support
on page 1-3 for a list of authorized service centers.)
The following disassembly procedures should be performed only if necessary:
section 3.6.2 Chassis Assembly/Disassembly on page 3-6
section 3.6.3 Keypad, Display, and Keypad/PassPort/Option Board Disassembly on page 3-6
section 3.6.4 Speaker, Microphone, and Universal Connector Flex Disassembly on page 3-8

section 3.6.6 Control Top Disassembly on page 3-9
section 3.7.7 DTMF Retrofit Kit Procedure (Optional Upgrade Procedure) on page 3-12
section 3.7.8 Option Board Installation on page 3-13
NOTE: Do not attempt to puddle-out components. Prolonged application of heat may
damage the flexible circuit.

Transceiver Performance Testing
4.1 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.
4.2 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. However, when the unit is on the bench
for testing, alignment, or repair, it is removed from its normal environment and cannot receive
commands from its system. Therefore, the internal microcontroller does not key the transmitter or
unmute the receiver. This prevents the use of a normal tuning procedure. To solve this problem, a
special “test mode” is incorporated into the radio.
Note 1: On VHF/UHF, LTR models, the radio must be in either conventional or LTR mode.
Note 2: The test mode procedure that follows assumes that the Customer Programming Software
Front Panel Access screen has both the FPA and RF TEST boxes selected. Select from the
programming screen to enable or disable certain features of the radio RF test mode.
lFPA entry not selected blocks all test modes.
lFPA entry selected and RF TEST not selected blocks RF test mode.
lFPA entry selected and RF TEST selected enables all test modes.
To enter the test mode for a display radio:
1. Turn the radio on.
2. Within ten seconds after the self test is complete, press ‘side button 2’, shown in
Figure 4-1 on page 4-3, five times in succession.
3. After “CSQ CHXX SP25” appears on the display, the radio is on channel XX (see Note
on following page), carrier squelch mode, 25 kHz channel spacing. Each additional
press of ‘side button 2’ (see Table 4-3 on page 4-5) scrolls to the next channel spacing,
and a corresponding set of tones are sounded. Refer to Figure 4-4 on page 4-4 for test
mode information for a four-line display radio.
4. Press ‘side button 1’ to scroll through the test environments listed in Table 4-1 on
page 4-4.
5. Press ‘side button 2’ for 3 seconds to switch the radio to the control head test mode.
‘LCD Test’ appears on the display.
6. Press ‘side button 1’ to turn on all the dots of the first character. Another ‘side button 1’
press turns on all the dots of the next character, continuing until the last character is
reached.
7. Press ‘side button 1’ at the end of the LCD test to activate the ‘Icon Test’. The next ‘side
button 1’ press turns on the first icon.

4.3 Test Frequencies for Display and Non-Display Radios
The radio channels and test frequencies are listed in Table 4-4. The channels are selected using the
channel selector switch located on top of the radio, as shown in Figure 4-1 on page 4-3. The test
environment and channel spacing for any particular frequency is selected using ‘side buttons 1 and 2’,
as listed in Table 4-1 on page 4-4 and Table 4-2 on page 4-5. The display radio shows the selected
parameters on the radio display, and sounds the corresponding number of beeps and tones listed in
Table 4-1and Table 4-1. The non-display radio only sounds the beeps and tones.
Note: On UHF LTR models, radios must be in conventional or LTR modes.

5.3 CPS Programming Setup
The CPS programming setup, shown in Figure 5-2, is used to program the radio codeplug.
NOTE: Refer to appropriate program on-line help files for the codeplug programming procedures.
5.4 Cloning (Conventional and LTR)
Cloning is the same for both the Conventional and LTR radio. Cloning is the process of copying the
content of one radio (source radio) into another radio (target radio). Radio content refers to system-
type features such as frequency, squelch type options, trunking, etc.
NOTE: Cloning can be performed only on radios with identical model numbers and software options.
Radio functionality inherent in one radio cannot be cloned to another radio that does not contain the
same functionality. Tuning and alignment information are not transferable and are not affected by
cloning.
Signaling Identification Numbers (IDs) are duplicated in the cloning process. Unique IDs may be
assigned with the CPS.
NOTE: Unsuccessful cloning attempts will not damage the radio.
Procedure:
1. Turn source and target radios off.
2. Connect cloning cable to side connector of both radios.
3. Turn on target radio.
4. On source radio, simultaneously press ‘side buttons 1 and 2’, shown in Figure 5-3, then turn radio
on. Both radios produce a “clone-entry” tone and turn on their green LEDs. Display radios show
“Cloning To” (source radio) and “Program” (target radio).
5. Release both side buttons. The electronic transfer process begins and will take approximately
one to three minutes.
6. When cloning is completed, both radios reset themselves and turn their green LEDs off. The

5.4.1 Error Codes (Display Radios Only)
l“ERR: Mismatch” - The model numbers or the code plug versions are not the same for both
radios. Cloning cannot be performed.
l“ERR: Timeout” - Communication between the two radios was not established or was disrupted
during the cloning process. If this occurs, check the cloning cable and all connections. Repeat the
cloning procedure.
5.5 Cloning (Privacy Plus)
This function is used to copy codeplug information from one radio to another. A radio and RIB must be
properly connected to the computer and power turned on before you attempt the PROGRAM function.
The time required to PROGRAM a codeplug will depend on the computer and the size of the
codeplug you are programming. Only radios with the same model number, protocol option and
codeplug version may be cloned. Trunked radios may not be cloned unless System Keys have been
loaded for each trunking system ID. Tuning and alignment information are not transferable and are
not affected by cloning. Signalling Identification are duplicated in the cloning process. Unique IDs may
be assigned with the CPS.

Procedure:
1. Use the READ RADIO function to read the radio codeplug to be cloned. i.e. the “Source” code-
plug.
2. If required, enter the Individual ID’s for the new radio. Trunking system keys (or FTR Key) are
required for cloning the Trunking System Data.
3. If required, go to the SDF merge screen, to merge SDF Trunking System Data.
4. Connect “Target” radio to the computer and press READ SERIAL NUMBER button to read the
“Target” radio’s serial number. This number must be different from the “Source” codeplug, or the
cloning progress will fail.
5. Connect “Target” radio to the computer, and press the PROGRAM button to program the “Source”
codeplug into the “Target” radio.
6. The CPS will validate the code plug.
7. If it fails a warning screen will be displayed informing of the incompatibility between the CPS and
code plug, otherwise the information is written into the radio’s code plug.
5.6 Cloning (PassPort)
Cloning of PassPort data in the HT1250•LS+ may only be accomplished via the PPCPS. In order to
“clone” the contents of one radio into another radio, the user must attach the first radio to the RIB
cable and read the contents of the PassPort personality by pressing the “Read Device” icon on the
toolbar (or by choosing “Read Device” from the file menu and selecting the proper COM port). The
user should then select each PassPort zone and change the MIN for each zone. He/She may then
attach the second radio to the RIB cable and write the personality into it by pressing the “Write
Device” icon on the toolbar (or by choosing “Write Device” from the file menu and choosing the proper
COM port). Alternatively, the information may be cloned to multiple radios by saving the personality
data to a file. The file may, at a later time, be re-read and the MIN may be changed for each zone and
then written to the radio through the procedure described above. Care must always be taken by the
user to ensure that the MIN is unique for each radio to avoid undesirable results in the system.
WARNING: Do NOT turn off the radio or disconnect it from the computer while attempting to
PROGRAM the codeplug. Interrupting the programming process WILL DESTROY the code-
plug contents and completely DISABLE the radio

5.8 HT1250•LS+ PassPort Tone Options
In order to provide more detailed information about the radio’s state to a user or service technician
various Tones and Display options are available.
One Tone option is a short low pitched tone that sounds whenever the radio loses contact for any
reason with its registered PassPort site and begins to search for another site. This Tone is enabled by
the “Enable LOS Search start tone” option.
Service technicians who are determining system coverage and RSSI settings may want to be able to
discriminate between the LOS (Loss of System) for complete loss of data from the site or when the
site RSSI drops below required levels. A second Tone following the first LOS Tone indicating that LOS
was caused by complete LOS of Passport data from the site and not low.
RSSI can be activated with the “Enable LOS CRC Search start tone” option.
Enable just the “Enable LOS Search start tone” option. Allow the radio to register. Turn off the Home
repeater. The radio will sound a single tone and start to search. Turn on the Home repeater. Allow the
radio to register. Remove the antenna. The radio will sound a single tone and start to search. Replace
the antenna.
Enable the “Enable LOS CRC Search start tone” option also. Allow the radio to register. Turn off the
Home repeater. The radio will sound two tones and start to search. Turn on the Home repeater. Allow
the radio to register. Remove the antenna. The radio will sound a single tone and start to search.
5.9 HT1250•LS+ Special Diagnostic Functions
Some special diagnosis functions can be turned on “as needed” basis by accessing the “Service
Menu”. In order to enter this menu please proceed as follows
1) Press the Menu Key. (You don't need to be registered).
2) Quickly press the P1 then the P2 key.
3) Service Menu appears on the screen.
4) Press the Menu key to select it.
A series of functions then become available to you as you scroll up and down. They are as follows:
PassPort ESN: Enter the Service Menu and using the Up/Dn keys scroll to “PassPort ESN”. Press
the Select key. Use the Up/Dn and Select Keys to activate or deactivate this function. This function
momentarily displays the radio's PassPort Electronic Serial Number.
PassPort Information Report - Enter the Service Menu and using the Up/Dn keys scroll to “Report”.
Press the Select key. The display will sequentially show, the search method preference, the number
of NearNeighbors from the last registered site neighbor list, All Neighbors, the total number of unique
stored Neighbor frequencies and then display the known list of Neighbor Frequencies. The report will
complete and the radio will search and re-register.
Monitor - This Service Menu option defeats PassPort coded squelch and allows a technician to hear
all transmissions on the system. This function can be enabled or disabled using the PassPort CPS
(PPCPS).
Show RSSI - Enter the Service Menu and using the Up/Dn keys scroll to “Show RSSI”. Press the
Select key. Use the Up/Dn and Select Keys to activate or deactivate this function. This diagnostic
momentarily displays the ASID and RSSI of all received site IDLE messages in the format “WXXX-
YYY-ZZZ” where W is a “-” on an Idle channel and a “+” on a busy one, XXX is the ASID of the site,
YYY is the RSSI of the message just received and ZZZ is the current running average RSSI. This can
be helpful in determining RSSI roaming settings. Also while this feature is enabled and the radio is
searching, each new search frequency is momentarily displayed in order to track the radio's progress
through the known frequencies.
Search Freq-(Enter Search Frequencies): Enter the Service Menu and using the Up/Dn keys scroll to
“Search Freq”. Press the Select key. Using the numeric keys and Left (P1) key for backup/delete and
5-8 Radio Tuning, Programming, Cloning, Lowband Antenna Cutting Procedure, PassPort Tone Options, and Diagnostic Functions
the “*” key for the decimal point, enter the desired Search Frequency in MHz. Press the Select key
when the entry is complete or the Escape/Exit Key to exit the function without entering a search
frequency. After pressing the Select key the radio will exit the Menu mode and begin searching the
entered frequency for a period of time equal to twice the initial search delay. This utility allows a new
radio or a radio with an empty Neighbor List Almanac to search an initial frequency other than its
Home Frequency or a Seed List Frequency. This can be helpful when programming and delivering a
new radio to a customer in an area not served by a site on his Home Frequency.
Clear Almanac – (Clear Neighbor list Almanac): Enter the Service Menu and using the Up/ keys
scroll to “Clear Almanac”. Press the Select key. The stored Neighbor frequencies will be erased. This
utility allows clearing obsolete Neighbor frequencies collected.

Power Up Self-Test
6.1 Error Codes - Conventional and LTR Radios
Turning on the radio starts a self-test routine that checks the RAM, ROM checksum, EEPROM
hardware, and EEPROM checksum. If these checks are successful, the radio generates two high-
pitched self-test pass tones, or a musical tone (selected in CPS). If the self-test is not successful, one
low-pitched tone is heard. Radios with displays are able to display the error codes. The displayed
error codes and related corrections are listed as follows:
Table 6-1: Power-up Display Codes - (Conventional Radios)
If the error code
displayed is... then, there is
a... To correct the problem...
“RAM TST ERROR” RAM test failure. Retest the radio by turning it off and turning it on
again. If message reoccurs, replace RAM (U405).
“ROM CS ERROR” Wrong ROM
checksum. Reprogram FLASH memory, then retest. If message
reoccurs, replace ROM (U406).
“EEPRM HW ERROR” Codeplug structure

6-2 Power Up Self-Test
6.2 Error Codes - Privacy Plus
At power-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
display. The presence of an error code 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 will inhibit user operation, non-fatal errors will not. Use Table 6-2: Power-up Display Codes to
aid in understanding particular power-up error code displays.
