Section 2: MAINTENANCE
1.0 Introduction
This chapter covers Preventive Maintenance, Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices, General Repair Procedures and Techniques, and Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio.
2.0 Preventive Maintenance
Periodic visual inspection and cleaning are recommended.
2.1 Inspection
Check external surfaces for cleanliness and all external controls and switches for functionality. Interior electronic circuitry inspection is not recommended.
2.2 Cleaning Procedures
Recommended cleaning agents and methods for external and internal surfaces:
- External Surfaces (front cover, housing, battery case): Use a 0.5% solution of mild dishwashing detergent in water. Apply sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush. Remove solution and dry with a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth or tissue. Ensure no water remains in connectors, cracks, or crevices. Avoid aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals that may harm plastics.
- Internal Circuit Boards and Components: Use isopropyl alcohol (100% by volume) with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to dislodge embedded materials. Brush material away from the radio's interior. Avoid soaking controls or tunable components. Do not use high-pressure air for drying. Dry with a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth. Do not apply alcohol to the frame, front, or back cover. Always use fresh alcohol and a clean container.
NOTE: Internal surfaces should only be cleaned when the radio is disassembled for service or repair.
3.0 Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices
CMOS devices are susceptible to damage from electrostatic or high voltage charges, which can cause latent failures. Special precautions are mandatory, especially in low humidity conditions:
- Store and transport CMOS devices in conductive material, with exposed leads shorted together. Do not use conventional plastic "snow" trays.
- Ground the service bench working surface. Use a Motorola Static Protection Assembly (wrist strap, ground cords, table mat, floor mat) or equivalent.
- Wear a conductive wrist strap connected in series with a 100kΩ resistor to ground. (Replacement wrist straps: Motorola part number 4280385A59).
- Do not wear nylon clothing.
- Do not insert or remove CMOS devices with power applied. Check power supplies for voltage transients.
- Provide ground straps for apparatus used when straightening CMOS pins.
- Use a grounded soldering iron.
- Handle CMOS devices by the package, not the leads. Touch an electrical ground before handling the unit to discharge static charge. The package and substrate may be electrically common.
4.0 Repair Procedures and Techniques – General
NOTE: Environmentally Preferred Products (EPP) use environmentally friendly components and solder assembly techniques (complying with EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE Directive 2002/96/EC). Use only Motorola-specified parts for product compliance and reliability.
Rework or repair on EPP products must use appropriate lead-free solder wire and paste:
- Lead Free Solder Wire: Motorola Part Number 1088929Y01 (Alloy 95.5Sn/3.8Ag/0.7Cu, RMA Flux, 2.7-3.2% Flux Content, 217°C Melting Point, Supplier Part 52171, 0.015" Diameter, 1lb spool).
- Lead Free Solder Paste: Motorola Part Number 1085674C03 (Manufacturer Part NC-SMQ230, 900-1000KCPs Viscosity, Type 3, 95.5%Sn-3.8%Ag-0.7%Cu Composition, 89.3% Metal, 217°C Liquid Temperature).
Parts Replacement and Substitution
Use identical replacement parts. If unavailable, order the correct Motorola part number from the list in "Appendix A Replacement Parts Ordering".
Rigid Circuit Boards
These radios use bonded, multi-layer PCBs. Inner layers are not accessible. Exercise care to avoid pulling plated circuits out of holes when soldering/desoldering. Avoid getting solder in connectors or forming solder bridges between connector pins.
Flexible Circuits
Flexible circuits require different soldering techniques. Excessive heat or bending can cause damage. Use the ST-1087 Temperature-Controlled Solder Station (600-700°F tip) and small diameter solder like ST-633. To replace a component, grasp the circuit edge, apply heat to connections while pulling with tweezers. Do not puddle-out components.
Chip Components
Use the RLN4062 Hot-Air Repair Station (370°C / 700°F, minimum airflow). To remove: apply hot air, then remove component with tweezers. Remove excess solder from pads using solder wick and iron or desoldering station. To replace using soldering iron: apply fresh solder to one pad, position new component with tweezers while heating, then heat remaining pad. Ensure all solder joints are smooth and shiny.
To replace using hot air: reflow pads, apply solder paste flux, position component with tweezers, apply heat with hot-air hand piece, and inspect repair.
