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.
Aftermarket and Accessory Division (AAD). If no part number is assigned, the part is not normally available from Motorola. If the part number is appended with an asterisk, the part is serviceable by Motorola Depot only. If a parts list is not included, this generally means that no user-serviceable parts are available for that kit or assembly.

Chapter 3 MAINTENANCE 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. Preventive Maintenance The radios do not require a scheduled preventive maintenance program; however, periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.
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 RSX4015_.) Do not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS devices.
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.
MAINTENANCE Radio Disassembly - Detailed The procedure to remove and replace a Control Head, Top Cover or Transceiver Board is similar for all models of radio. A typical procedure is therefore shown followed by specific disassembly procedures for Control Heads on radio models without a display and radio models fitted with a display.
Radio Disassembly - Detailed Flexible Connection ZWG0130210-O Figure 3-2 Flexible Connection Removal Remove the flexible connection from the socket on the control head board. Top Cover Removal Insert the dismantling tool in the middle of the radio assembly side groove as shown in Figure 3-3.
MAINTENANCE Transceiver Board Removal Remove the screws securing the diecast cover to the chassis, using the T20 TORX™ driver as shown in Figure 3-4. Lift the cover from the chassis. Screws (6 on 25W models) (9 on 60W models) Diecast Cover Radio Chassis...
Radio Disassembly - Detailed Disassembly of Control Head - GM340 (without display) To dismount the control head housing from the back housing, insert the dismantling tool in the groove between the two housings as shown in Figure 3-6. ZWG0130214-O Figure 3-6 Control Head Back Housing Removal Press the dismantling tool until the snap connectors on the side of the back housing release from the control head.
MAINTENANCE ZWG0130216-O Figure 3-8 Board, Keypad and Speaker Removal Remove the speaker from the control head housing. Disassembly of Control Heads - GM360 and GM380 (with display) Dismount the control head housing from the back housing as described for control heads without displays, Figure 3-6 and 3-7.
Radio Assembly Remove the display and the top and bottom elastomeric connectors from the control head housing (GM360 only). NOTE Care should be taken not to touch or contaminate the conductive pads on the under side of the keypad, the elastomeric connectors or the conductive contacts on the printed circuit board .
3-10 MAINTENANCE Radio Chassis and Transceiver Board Inspect the transceiver board chassis and if required reapply thermal grease to the heatsink area on the chassis and heat dissipating devices. You may have to remove damaged thermal pads from the chassis and devices prior to applying the grease. Insert the transceiver board at an angle (approximately 30°) into the chassis taking care to slide the antenna connector and accessory connector into their cut-outs in the chassis.

Chapter 4 TRANSCEIVER PERFORMANCE TESTING 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.
TRANSCEIVER PERFORMANCE TESTING 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.
