6.1 Detachment of Control Head
Detach Control Head
Whether the control head or the radio body is faulty, the control head
needs to be detached from the radio body. Do so as follows:
1. Note which way up the control head is attached to the radio body.
The control head may be oriented with the underside of the radio
body either facing up or facing down. The configuration depends
on the Customer’s installation, and the radio will need to be
returned to the Customer with the same configuration.
2. Disconnect the radio from any test equipment or power supply.
3. Note the two points where the control head should be levered off
the radio body. As shown in
Figure 6.1 , these points are indicated
by dot-dash-dot marks on the underside of the radio body. The
lever point is between the rubber control-head seal and the front
panel of the control head.
4. At each of the above lever points, insert the blade of a medium-
sized (about 5 mm) flat-bladed screwdriver and lever off the
control head.
5. After detaching the control head, disconnect the control-head
loom at the connector on the radio body. Refer to
Figure 6.2 .
6. Inspect the control head and loom as described below.
