Motorola EP350

Introduction 1-3
Any rework or repair on Environmentally Preferred Products must be done using the appropriate
lead-free solder wire and solder paste as stated in the following tables:
Parts Replacement and Substitution
When damaged parts are replaced, identical parts should be used. If the identical replacement
component is not locally available, check the parts list for the proper Motorola part number and
order the component from the nearest Motorola Communications parts center listed in the “Piece
Parts” section of this manual.
Rigid Circuit Boards
The family of radios uses bonded, multi-layer, printed circuit boards. Since the inner layers are
not accessible, some special considerations are required when soldering and unsoldering
components. The through-plated holes may interconnect multiple layers of the printed circuit.
Therefore, care should be exercised to avoid pulling the plated circuit out of the hole.
When soldering near the connector pins:
• Avoid accidentally getting solder in the connector.
• Be careful not to form solder bridges between the connector pins
• Closely examine your work for shorts due to solder bridges.
Chip Components
Use the RLN4062 Hot-Air Repair Station for chip component replacement. Adjust the
temperature control to 390 °C (735 °F), and adjust the airflow to a minimum setting. Airflow can
vary due to component density.
• To remove a chip component:
1. Use a hot-air hand piece and position the nozzle of the hand piece approximately 0.3 cm
(1/8") above the component to be removed.
2. Begin applying the hot air. Once the solder reflows, remove the component using a pair
of tweezers.
3. Using a solder wick and a soldering iron or a power desoldering station, remove the
excess solder from the pads.
