Motorola SSETM 5000 - Manual (Page 83)

Chapter 7 Disassembly/Reassembly Procedures
This chapter provides detailed procedures for disassembling/reassembling SSE 5000 radios and
also includes preventive maintenance and handling precautions, which provide information vital to
the successful operation and maintenance of your radio.
When performing the disassembly/reassembly procedures, refer to the exploded view ( Figure 7-1 on
page 7-3 ) and to the parts list ( Table 7-1 on page 7-4 ). Items in parentheses ( ) throughout this
chapter refer to item numbers in the exploded view and its associated parts list.
This chapter also has procedures for removing and installing the SSE 5000 radio’s standard
accessories and changing the Volume and Channel Select knobs.
7.1 General Maintenance
In order to avoid operating outside the limits set by the FCC, we recommend that you align the
SSE 5000 radio’s reference oscillator every time the radio is taken apart, or once per year, whichever
comes first. Periodic visual inspection and cleaning is also recommended.
7.1.1 Inspection
Check that the external surfaces of the radio are clean, and that all external controls and switches
are functional. A detailed inspection of the interior electronic circuitry is not needed.
7.1.2 Cleaning
The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the methods to be used
when cleaning the external surfaces of the radio. External surfaces include the housing assembly
and battery case. These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual inspection reveals
the presence of smudges, grease, and/or grime.
The only recommended agent for cleaning the external radio surfaces is a 0.5% solution of a mild
dishwashing detergent in water.
The detergent-water solution should be applied sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled
brush to work all loose dirt away from the radio. A soft, absorbent, lintless cloth or tissue should be
used to remove the solution and dry the radio. Make sure that no water remains entrapped near the
connectors, cracks, or crevices.
The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results
on certain plastics. Aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals
should be avoided.
