ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
Facilities
To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility
where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Aircraft
When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.
Medical Devices
Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation
of 15 cms (6 inches) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker.These
recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
● ALWAYS keep the radio more than 15 cms from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON.
● Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
● Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
● Turn the radio OFF immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference,
you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
Vehicles with an air bag
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to installation of electronic equipment to avoid
interference with air bag wiring.
WARNING: Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag
! deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and
cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
NOTE The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelling areas such as
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres are often but not always posted.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Antennas
CAUTION: Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
! comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
CAUTION: All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
! conductive material such as jewellery, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The
conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse, or other container with metal objects.
Repair
REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPROVAL ARE
! THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
● Repairs to a Motorola FM approved radio product should only be done at a location
that has been FM audited under the FM 3605 repairs and service standard.
● Contact Motorola for assistance regarding repairs and service of Motorola
intrinsically safe equipment.
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original
condition.
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
circuits of the unit.
Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving agency, (FM,
UL, CSA, CENELEC or ATEX) is tested as a complete system which consists of the listed agency
Approved portable, Approved battery, and Approved accessories or options, or both. This Approved
portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items,
even if the substitute has been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications
equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed by the Approving Agency (FM, UL, CSA,
CENELEC or ATEX).
The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of that
radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system.
The manual PN referenced on the Intrinsically Safe Approval Label identifies the approved
Accessories and or options that can be used with that portable radio unit.
Using a non Motorola intrinsically safe battery and or accessory with the Motorola approved radio unit
will void the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit.

2.2.1 Receiver
Incoming RF signals from the antenna are first routed through the harmonic filter and antenna
switch, part of the transmitter circuitry, before being applied to the receiver front end. The receiver
front end consists of a preselector filter, RF amplifier, interstage filter, and a double-balanced first
mixer (Figure 2-2).
The mixer output is applied to a diplexer network which matches the 44.85 MHz IF signal to the
crystal filter, and terminates the mixer into 50 ohms at all other frequencies.
The receiver back-end is a dual conversion design. High IF selectivity is provided by a 4-pole
fundamental mode 44.85 MHz crystal filter. The output is matched to an IF amplifier stage. The
output of the IF amplifier is applied to the input of the receiver IFIC.
2.2.2 Transmitter
When the radio is transmitting, microphone audio is passed through the audio IC, where pre-
emphasis and low-pass (splatter) filtering are done. The output of the audio IC is used to modulate
the TX VCO, which creates the modulated carrier. The modulated carrier is then amplified by the pre-
driver and power amplifier circuit, which transmits the signal under dynamic power control

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.
1. Signaling Identification Numbers (IDs) are duplicated in the cloning process. Unique IDs may be
assigned with the CPS.
Procedure:
1. Turn source and target radios off.
2. Connect cloning cable (PMKN4003) to the side connector of both radios.
3. Turn on the destination radio.
4. Press and hold the two side buttons at the same time on the source radio and then power up the
source radio (Figure 5-3). Both radios produce a “clone-entry” tone.
5. Release both side buttons, 1 and 2.
6. When cloning is completed, the source radio produce’s a “clone-exit” tone and both the source
and destination radios reset.
7. Turn both radios off.
8. Disconnect the cloning cable from both radios and turn them on for normal operation.

6.1 Introduction
This section provides details about the following:
• Preventive maintenance (inspection and cleaning)
• Safe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices
• Disassembly and re-assembly of the radio
• Repair procedures and techniques
6.2.1 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 plas-
! tics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals.
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.
Note: Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination by
dissolved material (from previous usage).

8.1 Introduction
This section provides details about the following:
• Preventive maintenance (inspection and cleaning)
• Safe handling of CMOS and LDMOS devices
• Disassembly and re-assembly of the radio
• Repair procedures and techniques
8.2.1 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 plas-
! tics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals.
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.
Note: Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination by
dissolved material (from previous usage).
The following tools are required for disassembling the radio (see Chapter 3 for a list of service aids):
• knob remover/chassis opener
• penknife-size screwdriver
• TORX™ 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 Appendix B for a list of authorized service
centers.
The following disassembly procedures should be performed only if necessary:
• Chassis Disassembly
• Speaker Disassembly
• PTT Disassembly

Note: Both knobs slide on and off. However the knobs are designed to fit very tightly on the shaft.
5. Separate the chassis from the front housing assembly by using the knob remover/chassis opener
too. Place the broad side of the opener into the slots located at the base of the radio (Figure 8-3).
Press the handle on the opener downwards. This pressing action forces the thin inner plastic wall
toward the base of the radio, releasing the two chassis base tabs..

CAUTION: Marring the front cover O-ring sealing area will prevent the radio from sealing properly. If the
! O-ring is damaged, replace it with a new one.
Note: The speaker wire assembly microphone wire assembly and keypad ribbon connector con-
necting the front housing assembly and the chassis prevent the two units from being com-
pletely separated
6. Pull the chassis assembly out of the front cover only until the volume and channel selectors shaft
just clear the top of the case. (Figure 8-4).
Rotate the chassis counterclockwise out of the housing and position next to the housing. Take care
not to damage the speaker and microphone wires that are still connected to the chassis (Figure 8-4).

7. Install the retainer screw using a T6 Torx screwdriver. Torque to 0.26 - 0.28Nm (2.3 - 2.5 lb/in).
Note: Be sure the battery contact seal protrudes through the chassis and is not pinched under the
chassis.
4. Use the T6 Torx screwdriver to fasten the screws holding the main board to the chassis. Tighten
to 0.42 - 0.44Nm (3.7 - 3.9 in/lb).
5. Replace the O-ring by positioning it in the top groove by the volume/frequency switches. Stretch
the O-ring to place it into the retaining groove at the bottom end of the chassis.
6. Check that the O-ring is not twisted and is being held by the top and bottom chassis groves.
7. Replace the audio jack shroud.

Note: Care should be taken when dressing the speaker and microphone wires to avoid pinching
them between the speaker magnet and shield, or between the accessory connector and
housing.
Note: Ensure that the plug orientation is correct with the exposed pins in the wire casing facing
upward and fully plugged in.
a. Connect the speaker wire assembly into the 10-pin connector on the main board and
bend the wires at the board connector so the wires are positioned toward the top of the
radio (Figure 8-13).
b. Connect the microphone wire assembly into the two hole socket on the main board and
bend the wires at the board connector so the wires are positioned toward the top of the
radio (Figure 8-13).
c. Slide the audio jack shroud onto accessory connector (Figure 8-12).
2. Slide the volume potentiometer and frequency switch shafts into their respective holes in the front
cover. Look through the accessory connector opening to make certain that the wires are not
pinched.
3. Push the topside of the board chassis upward until it touches the housing end. Before snapping
the board into the housing, perform the following checks.:
a. Open the dust cap and ensure the wires are not pinched between the shroud and housing.
b. Ensure the O-ring is seated in the groove.
c. Ensure that the bottom side of the dust cap is fully pressed into the housing before the
snapping the board into place.

The terms and conditions of warranty are defined fully in the Motorola Dealer or Distributor or
Reseller contract. These conditions may change from time to time and the following notes are for
guidance purposes only.
In instances where the product is covered under a "return for replacement" or "return for repair"
warranty, a check of the product should be performed prior to shipping the unit back to Motorola.
This is to ensure that the product has been correctly programmed or has not been subjected to
damage outside the terms of the warranty.
Prior to shipping any radio back to the appropriate Motorola warranty depot, please contact

accompanied by a Warranty Claim Form, available from your Customer Services representative.
Products should be shipped back in the original packaging, or correctly packaged to ensure no
damage occurs in transit.
After the Warranty period, Motorola continues to support its products in two ways.
1. Motorola's Radio Aftermarket and Accessory Division (AAD) offers a repair service to both
end users and dealers at competitive prices.
2. AAD supplies individual parts and modules that can be purchased by dealers who are
