Maintenance
Alignment
The advanced design and manufacturing techniques eliminate the need for
traditional tuning tasks for the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus transceiver. All
circuits in the transceiver have been aligned at the factory with specialized
equipment. Alignment in the field should not be necessary or attempted.

Programming
Configuration items for field programming of the ASTRO Spectra/Spectra Plus
Consolette are shown in Table 16 on page 34. It is important to note that the
field programming setup connects directly to the ASTRO transceiver and not
to the accessory connectors on the rear panel of the Consolette. Therefore, the
first step in programming the codeplug of the Consolette is to remove the top
cover. See “Disassembly and Reassembly” on page 38 for cover removal and
replacement instructions. Once the top cover has been removed, the ASTRO
Spectra/Spectra Plus transceiver can be connected to a PC.
There are two different methods by which the ASTRO transceivers are
connected to the PC, based on whether it is an ASTRO Spectra or ASTRO
Spectra Plus model. The ASTRO Spectra transceiver is connected to the PC
using a Smart Radio Interface Box (RLN1015). The Smart Radio Interface Box
is connected to the 15-pin accessory connector on the rear of the ASTRO
Spectra transceiver via the ASTRO Spectra Interface cable (30-80369B73),
and to the PC via an IBM PC-AT Computer Interface Cable (30-80369B72).
See Figure 11 on page 36. The ASTRO Spectra Plus transceiver is connected
directly to the PC using the HKN6155 Programming/Flash cable connected to
the microphone connector on the front panel of the transceiver. See Figure 12
on page 36. Prior to programming, make certain that external equipment is
disconnected from the accessory connectors on the rear of the Consolette.

Programming
Always be sure you are ordering/using the latest version of the software
package. If you are not sure, contact Motorola Product Services or United
States and Canada Aftermarket Products Division at 1-800-422-4210.
In order to FLASH the internally housed ASTRO mobile, the lid must be
removed from the Consolette. Connect the ASTRO mobile programming cable
(HKN6155_) to the microphone connector on the front panel of the ASTRO
mobile and follow the FLASHport instructions.
