A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design
configuration. Modifications can only be made by the original product
manufacturer at one of its FMRC-audited manufacturing facilities.
Repair of FMRC
Approved
Products
REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH FMRC APPROVAL ARE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
You should not repair or relabel any Motorola-manufactured communication
equipment bearing the FMRC Approval label (“FMRC Approved Product”)
unless you are familiar with the current FMRC Approval standard for repairs
and service (“Class Number 3605”).
You may want to consider using a repair facility that operates under 3605
repair service approval.
FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number 3605 is subject to change at any time
without notice to you, so you may want to obtain a current copy of 3605 from
FMRC. Per the December 1994 publication of 3605, some key definitions and
service requirements are as follows:
Repair A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it
back to its original condition—Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done in
an FMRC Approved facility.
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. You do not
have to be an FMRC Approved Repair Facility to perform these actions.
Relabeling The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of FMRC
Approval labels are controlled to ensure that any relabeling is limited to units
that were originally shipped from the Manufacturer with an FM Approval label
in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the repair facility. An
FMRC Approval label shall be ordered from the original manufacturer, as
needed, to repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may be obtained and
applied by the repair facility, provided there is satisfactory evidence that the
unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC Approved unit. Verification may
include, but is not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval label, a unit
with a defective housing displaying an Approval label, or a customer invoice
indicating the serial number of the unit and purchase of an FMRC Approved
model.
• Failure to use an FMRC Approved Product unit with an FMRC Approved battery or
FMRC Approved accessories specifically approved for that product may result in
the dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio combination being
used in a hazardous location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an FMRC Approved Product unit will
negate the Approval rating of the product.

• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any FMRC Approved Product unit could
adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result
in serious injury or death.
