12. Reinstall the keypad flex attachment bracket (43). Insert the two
tabs on the bracket through the two slots in the keypad flex (37)
and into the two slots in the controller board (44), then snap
down the two casting snaps.
13. Reinstall the LCD module (38), display locator pad (39), and
display flex attachment bracket (42). Position the LCD module,
with display locator pad, so that the back of the module faces
upward, the flex points toward the bottom of the radio, and the
locating “finger” on the flex passes through the opening between
the middle compression fingers on the bracket. Insert the tab on
the bracket through the slot in the flex and into the slot in the
controller board (44), then snap down the two chassis snaps. Flip
the LCD module down to cover the display flex connector and
keypad flex connector brackets. Press the display locator pad (39)
down over the three locator tabs on the casting.
14. Reinstall the main seal (58) around the casting assembly (54).
Start at the top of the casting and work the seal around the
perimeter of the casting until it is completely in place.
15. While holding the casting assembly (54) in one hand and the
housing assembly (2) in the other, plug the 41-pin connector on
the controls flex assembly (18) into the connector on the
controller board (44).
NOTE: This can easily be done using the thumb of the
hand holding the chassis.
16. With the fronts of both the casting assembly (54) and housing
assembly (2) facing upward, carefully insert the top of the casting
into the top of the housing assembly. Making sure that the
antenna bushing is inside the antenna hole in the control top,
pivot the bottom of the housing downward toward the bottom of
the casting until they meet. Snap the housing assembly and
casting assembly together.
17. Referring to the Basic Service Manual (68P81083C85), Chapter 6,
reinstall: the universal connector cover or any accessory
connected to the radio, the antenna, and the battery.
NOTE: If the volume knob (6) or frequency knob (13) were
removed prior to servicing the main chassis,
reinstall them.
