EX600 / EX600•XLS Radio Disassembly — Detailed 3-13
4. Pull the volume and channel selector knobs off of their shafts.
5. Separate the chassis from the internal electronics front cover assembly as follows:
a. Insert a small, flat bladed screwdriver, or similar instrument, in between the thin retaining
wall and the chassis at the bottom of the radio. Do not mar the O-ring sealing area on the
housing.
b. Slowly pry the bottom of the chassis from the cover by pushing the chassis opener (part
number 6680702Z01) down, and prying the handle of the tool over and behind the base
of the radio. This prying action forces the thin inner plastic wall toward the base of the
radio, releasing the two chassis base tabs.

NOTE
Both knobs slide on and off. However, they are supposed to fit very tightly on their shafts.

CAUTION: Marring the front cover O-ring sealing area will prevent the radio from sealing
properly.
NOTE
Flexible ribbon circuits (flexes) connecting the front cover assembly and the chassis pre-
vent you from completely separating the two units.
