Radio Disassembly/Assembly
Overview
This section explains, step by step, how to disassemble
and reassemble the GTX /GTX LTR/LTS 2000 radio.
Safety Information
When testing and repairing the GTX/GTX LTR/LTS
2000 radio, observe the handling precautions to pre-
vent unnecessary damage to the radio.
¥ Minimize handling of static-sensitive compo-
nents and modules.
¥ Transport and store static-sensitive components
or assemblies in their original containers on a
metal rail. Label any package that contains
static-sensitive components or assemblies.
¥ Discharge static electricity from the body by
wearing a grounded antistatic wrist strap while
h a n d l i n g t h e s e c o m p o n e n t s . S e r v i c i n g
static-sensitive components or assemblies
should only be done at a static-free work station
by qualiÞed service technicians. Increasing the
humidity in the work area minimizes static elec-
tricity problems.
¥ Do not allow anything that can generate or hold
a static charge on the workstation surface.
¥ Keep the component leads shorted together
whenever possible.
¥ Pick up components by their bodies. Never pick
them up by their leads.
¥ Do not slide the components over any surface.
¥ Avoid handling components in areas with a
ßoor or work surface covering that can generate
a static charge.
¥ Use a soldering iron connected to earth ground.
¥ Use only approved, anti-static, vacuum-type
desoldering tools for removing components.
