A. that MOTOROLA will be notified promptly in writing by such purchaser of any notice of such

claim;

B. that MOTOROLA will have sole control of the defense of such suit and all negotiations for its

settlement or compromise; and

C. should the Product or parts become, or in MOTOROLA's opinion be likely to become, the

subject of a claim of infringement of a United States patent, that such purchaser will permit MOTOROLA, at its option and expense, either to procure for such purchaser the right to continue using the Product or parts or to replace or modify the same so that it becomes noninfringing or to grant such purchaser a credit for the Product or parts as depreciated and accept its return. The depreciation will be an equal amount per year over the lifetime of the Product or parts as established by MOTOROLA.

MOTOROLA will have no liability with respect to any claim of patent infringement which is based upon the combination of the Product or parts furnished hereunder with software, apparatus or devices not furnished by MOTOROLA, nor will MOTOROLA have any liability for the use of ancillary equipment or software not furnished by MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with the Product. The foregoing states the entire liability of MOTOROLA with respect to infringement of patents by the Product or any parts thereof.

Laws in the United States and other countries preserve for MOTOROLA certain exclusive rights for copyrighted MOTOROLA software such as the exclusive rights to reproduce in copies and distribute copies of such Motorola software.

Notes

Chapter 1 Introduction

This manual contains information needed for Levels One and Two radio servicing. Level One servicing consists of radio programming, radio alignment, knobs replacement, and installation and removal of the antenna, belt clip, battery, and universal connector cover. Level Two servicing covers disassembly and reassembly of the radio to replace circuit boards.

1.1 Manual Contents

Included in this manual are radio specifications for the VHF(136–174 MHz), UHF1 (380–470 MHz), UHF2 (450–520 MHz) and 764–870 MHz frequency bands, a general description of ASTRO APX 7000 models, recommended test equipment, service aids, radio alignment procedures, general maintenance recommendations, procedures for assembly and disassembly, and exploded views and parts lists.

1.2 Notations Used in This Manual

Throughout the text in this publication, you will notice the use of note, caution, warning, and danger notations. These notations are used to emphasize that safety hazards exist, and due care must be taken and observed.

NOTE: An operational procedure, practice, or condition that is essential to emphasize.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, might

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could

result in equipment damage.

result in death or injury.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will

result in death or

injury.

Sec 1: 1-2 Introduction: Radio Description

1.3 Radio Description

The ASTRO APX 7000 radios are among the most sophisticated two-way radios available. These dual band radios are capable of operating in both VHF (136–174 MHz) and 764–870 MHz frequency bands, UHF1 (380–470 MHz) and 764–870 MHz frequency bands, VHF (136–174 MHz) and UHF1 (380–470 MHz) frequency bands, UHF1 (380–450 MHz) and UHF2 (450–520 MHz) frequency bands, UHF2 (450–520 MHz) and 764–870 MHz frequency bands, and, VHF (136–174 MHz) and UHF2 (450–520 MHz) frequency bands.

The ASTRO APX 7000 radio provides improved voice quality across more coverage area. The digital process, called embedded signaling, intermixes system signaling information with digital voice, resulting in improved system reliability and the capability of supporting a multitude of advanced features.

ASTRO APX 7000 radios are available in two configurations – Top Display and Dual Display.

Table 1-1 describes their basic features.

1.4 FLASHport

The ASTRO APX 7000 radio utilizes Motorola’s FLASHport technology. FLASHport makes it possible to add software that drives the radio’s capabilities both at the time of purchase and later on. Previously, changing a radio’s features and capabilities meant significant modifications or buying a new radio. But now, similar to how a computer can be loaded with different software, the radio’s features and capabilities can be upgraded with FLASHport software.
