INTRODUCTION
1.0 About this Manual
1.1 Scope
This manual is intended for use by service technicians familiar with mobile two-way radio 
equipment. It contains service information required for the equipment described and is current as of 
the printing date. Changes which occur after the printing date may be incorporated by a complete 
manual revision or alternatively as additions.
1.2 Organization
This manual is organized such that the first three chapters contain non–band-specific information, 
and the remaining chapters cover band-specific information (for example, VHF low power, UHF 
Band 1 high power, etc.).
All data on control heads—including board overlays, schematics, and parts lists—is contained in 
Chapter 2, and all data on controllers is in Chapter 3.
The band-specific chapters (Chapters 4–13) each contain their own sections on: 
• model charts and technical specifications (Section 1)
• theory of operation (Section 2)
• troubleshooting charts (Section 3)
• board overlays, schematics, and parts lists (Section 4)
Every chapter includes its own table of contents. In addition, the introductory page for each 
schematics section in the manual has allocation charts, indicating the page numbers for each board 
overlay, schematic and parts list in the section.
1.3 Conventions
“Microprocessor” is abbreviated as “µP”.
