Inspect Mechanical
Parts
Regardless of the reason for detaching the control head, it is advisable to
inspect the mechanical parts for damage. Any exterior damage will have
been identified already in Subsection 5.1 (on page 107). Check for and
rectify any interior damage as follows:
1. Inspect the control-head loom. If the loom has obvious physical
damage, replace it with a spare loom from Spares kit 1 (two-digit
display) or Spares kit 10 (one-dig it display). The product code and
contents of the kit are listed in Subsection 6.2 (on page 131).
2. Inspect the control-head seal. Refer to Figure 6.2, which shows
a cross-section of the seal. Check for any sign of deformation, cuts
or tears. Pay particular attention to the two lips of the seal.
3. If the seal is damaged, replace it with a spare seal from Spares kit
7. This kit contains a set of these seals.
4. Inspect the interior of the control head for signs of damage.
Check for cracked, broken or burnt parts. In a control head with
UI the parts to inspect are the space-frame, speaker and, if fitted,
concealed microphone. In a blank control head inspect the
programming connector and attached loom.
5. If the inspection in Step 4 reveals no damage, continue with the
repair of the radio as described in Subsection 5.2 (on page 109).
If there is damage in a control head with UI, disassemble the
control head and replace the damaged part or assembly as
described in the next subsection. If there is damage in a blank
control head, replace the complete control head; for the relevant
product code refer to Subsection 1.5 (on page 26).
