1-4 INTRODUCTION
1.0 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.
• Installation of Option Boards.
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.
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 (70% 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.
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 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.
• Ground 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.
• 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 devices.
• Do 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.
• When straightening CMOS pins, provide ground straps for the apparatus used.
• When soldering, use a grounded soldering iron.
• If 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.
Repair Procedures and Techniques — General 2-3
NOTE Ensure that the volume knob is in the OFF position before disassembling the radio.
2. Insert the flat screw driver (4 mm maximum) into the slot and push the plastic up.
Do the same with the second slot to free the control head from the chassis assembly. See
Figure 2-2.
Radio Disassembly - Detailed 2-5
3. To free the control head, disconnect the flat cable from the chassis assembly See Figure 2-3.
2. Insert the flat screw driver near the ‘T’ and push the plastic cover up until it pops over the ‘T’
mount boss. Perform the same function on the ‘T’ location on the other side of the chassis.
3. Next place the radio in a horizontal position as shown in Figure 2-5 and insert the flat screw
driver into the slot to release the upper cover.

4. Loosen the M2 screw (about 3 to 4 turns) on the RF connector using hex tool
(Part number: 6680334F39).
5. Loosening this screw, enables you to unscrew the RF connector from outside.
6. Carefully remove the main PCB in a diagonal manner.

10. Take the main shield and place it on the chassis. Check that the corners of the main shield are
seated properly on the corner supports.
11. Take the main seal and place it inside the top cover. Verify that the main seal is seated prop-
erly on its placement ribs and all around the groove.
12. Take the upper cover, place it properly on the chassis, and push it down. Three click sounds
are heard from both sides and back.
NOTE Care should be taken not to touch or contaminate the conductive strip connectors and key-
pad conductors on the underside of the display and the elastomeric connectors (EM400
only).

1.0 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.
2.0 Setup
Supply voltage is provided using a power supply (13.8Vdc for low power models, 13.6Vdc for high
power models). The equipment required for alignment procedures is connected as shown in the
Radio Tuning Test Setup Diagram, Chapter 4, Figure 4-6.

1 External Speaker (-) Connect external 8 or 4 ohms speaker to pin 1 and 16.
Caution: Bridge-type output. Neither pin 1 or 16 is grounded.
3 External Mic PTT Put this pin low (less than 0.66 Vdc) to key transmitter and enable
external mic audio path. This path is pulled low via a diode when front
panel mic PTT is pulled low to allow sensing of mic PTT by accessory.
This pin pulled high to 3.3 Vdc via 3.3k ohms
4 Programmable Defaults to External Alarm. Provides an active high to 13.8 Vdc battery
Output supply. maximum current: 0.25 amps.
5 Flat_TX_Audio Input Input impedance: Greater than 35k ohms. The nominal input level is 150
mV rms for 60% deviation.
6 SCI Serial Communication Interface. On MDC and P/L radios only, this pin
can be configured as a general purpose input by removing resistor R421.
9 Emergency Input When connecting the Emergency Footswitch between pin 9 and 7, the
radio will sense the connection upon Power-up.
Shorting this pin to Ground by pressing the switch when the radio is OFF,
turns ON the radio in Emergency Mode.
Shorting this pin to Ground by pressing the switch when the radio is ON,
activates Emergency Mode.
To turn OFF a radio that was turned ON by Emergency Footswitch (ON/
OFF knob in OFF position) turn knob to ON and then to OFF position.
10 Ignition Sense For optional 3-wire ignition control, connect this pin to the vehicle
ignition-controlled voltage source for ignition-controlled radio ON/OFF.
To resume NON ignition state, remove the battery connection for 10
seconds; remove the ignition connection from this pin and re-connect the
battery connections.
11 Receive Audio Programmable (using CPS in the RX Audio Type): 660mV rms (de-
Output emphasized/muted) or 330mV rms (non de-emphasized muted.
Minimum load resistance: 5k ohms
15 Internal Speaker Connect to internal speaker (+) and by internal jumper to pin 16
16 External Speaker (+) Connect external 8 or 4 ohms speaker to pins 1 and 16.
CAUTION: Bridge type output. Neither pin 1 nor 16 is grounded.
6-6 ACCESSORIES & CONNECTOR PIN FUNCTIONS
2 Boot/DTMF This pin function depends on the voltage applied to pin 3 (See pin 3, Hook
Keypad Column description).
When configured as “Boot”, applying 5V to this pin will set the radio to Boot
state.
When configured as “DTMF Keypad Column”, this pin will carry column
voltages generated by the DTMF microphone (RMN5029).
3 Hook When 0V is applied to this pin (mic on hook), pins 2 and 7 will be
configured to “Column” and “Row”.
When no voltage is applied to this pin (mic off hook), this pin will read 2.7V,
and pins 2 and 7 will be configured to “Column” and “Row”.
When 9.3V is applied to this pin (programming cables or Mag One mic
RMN5018), pins 2 and 7 will be configured to “Boot” and “SCI”.
6 Mic. PTT Microphone PTT is active low, so this port reads “0” when PTT is pressed
and “1” when PTT is released.
10 K ohms internal pull up resistor to 9.3 V.
Pulling low this pin will also pull low, via a diode, pin 3 (external MIC PTT)
of the accessory connector.
7 SCI/DTMF The function of this pin depends on the voltage applied to pin 3 (see pin 3
Keypad Row description).
When configured as “SCI”, serial communication with the radio is
facilitated.
When configured as “DTMF Keypad Row” this pin will carry new voltages
generated by the DTMF mic (RMN5029)
