2.2 Repair of FMRC Approved Products
REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH FMRC APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE USER.
You should not repair or relabel any Motorola- manufactured communication equipment bearing the
FMRC Approval label (“FMRC Approved Product”) unless you are familiar with the current FMRC
Approval standard for repairs and service (“Class Number 3605”). Repairs and service to be done
FM audited locations.
The following are key definitions, from the FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number 3605, 1994.
2.2.1 Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original
condition-Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done in an FMRC audited facility. Items not
considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the
outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner which exposes the internal electrical. You do not
have to be an FMRC audited Repair Facility to perform these actions.
2.2.2 Relabeling
The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are
controlled to ensure that any relabeling is limited to units that were originally shipped from the
Manufacturer with an FM Approval label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the
repair facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered from the original manufacturer, as needed,
to repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may be obtained and applied by the repair facility,
provided there is satisfactory evidence that the unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC
Approved unit. Verification may include, but is not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval label, a
unit with a defective housing displaying an Approval label, or a customer invoice indicating the serial
number of the unit and purchase of an FMRC Approved model.
• Failure to use an FMRC Approved portable radio unit with an
FMRC Approved battery or FMRC Approved accessories
specifically Agency approved for that product may result in the
dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio
combination being used in a hazardous location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an FMRC Approved
Product unit will negate the Approval rating of the product.
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any FMRC Approved Product unit
could adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous
atmosphere could result in serious injury or death.
