Required Tools:
Hinge Mechanism tool,

NOTE: i 860 flip components include a
self-contained Hinge Mechanism
(see Figure 7-13), which is
removed and installed using the
Hinge Mechanism tool. No other

hinge mechanism (see Figure 7-14 and
Figure 7-15). Discard damaged
pushbutton.
3. Attach tool to the hinge mechanism.
Mate the tool's recessed part with the
matched protruding part on the
mechanism. Match alignment line on
tool with the “MOTOROLA” name on
front housing (see Figure 7-16).
4. Insert and turn tool clockwise to engage
the hinge mechanism (see Figure 7-17).
5. Once engaged, gently pull the tool/
mechanism while maintaining alignment
of the tool line and MOTOROLA name.
Adjust flip angle within 3 to 5 degrees to
maintain alignment (see Figure 7-18).
