1.3Radio Description
The ASTRO XTS 4000 radios are among the most sophisticated two-way radios available. The
radios are available in the VHF (136–174 MHz) and UHF (380–470 MHz) frequency bands.
The ASTRO XTS 4000 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.
Table 1-1 describes the basic features of ASTRO XTS 4000 radios.

1.4FLASHport
The ASTRO XTS 4000 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.

Basic Maintenance: General Maintenance2-1
Chapter 2Basic Maintenance
This chapter describes preventive maintenance and handling precautions. Each of these topics
provides information vital to the successful operation and maintenance of your radio.
2.1General Maintenance
In order to avoid operating outside the limits set by the FCC, we recommend that you align the
ASTRO XTS 4000 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.
2.1.1Inspection
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.
2.1.2Cleaning
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 effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results
on certain plastics. Aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals
should be avoided.
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.
2.2Handling Precautions
Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices, and other high-technology devices,
are used in this family of radios. While the attributes of these devices are many, their characteristics
make them susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD) or high-voltage charges.
Damage can be latent, resulting in failures occurring weeks or months later. Therefore, special
precautions must be taken to prevent device damage during disassembly, troubleshooting, and
repair. Handling precautions are mandatory for this radio, and are especially important in lowhumidity conditions.
6871619L01-CSeptember 10, 2008
2-2Basic Maintenance: General Repair Procedures and Techniques
• The XTS 4000 radio casting has a vent port that allow for pressure
equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent with any object, such as
needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could create a leak path into the
radio.
• The pressure equalization vent is located on the chassis, just below the
battery contact. Never obstruct or cover the slot with any object, except
the designated Audio Jack PC Label (48). Ensure that no oily substances
come in contact with this vent.
2.3General Repair Procedures and Techniques
NOTE
Environmentally Preferred Products (EPP) (refer to the marking on the printed circuit
boards — examples shown below) were developed and assembled using
environmentally preferred components and solder assembly techniques to comply with
the European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances (ROHS) Directive 2002/
95/EC and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive 2002/96/
EC. To maintain product compliance and reliability, use only the Motorola specified parts
in this manual.
Any rework or repair on Environmentally Preferred Products must be done using the appropriate
lead-free solder wire and lead-free solder paste as stated in the following table:

the component from the nearest Motorola Radio Products and Solutions Organization listed in
Appendix B of this manual.
September 10, 20086871619L01-C
Basic Maintenance: General Repair Procedures and Techniques2-3
2.3.2Rigid Circuit Boards
The family of radios uses bonded, multi-layer, printed circuit boards. Since the inner layers are not
accessible, some special considerations are required when soldering and unsoldering components.
The through-plated holes may interconnect multiple layers of the printed circuit. Therefore, care
should be exercised to avoid pulling the plated circuit out of the hole.
When soldering near the connector pins:
•avoid accidentally getting solder in the connector.
•be careful not to form solder bridges between the connector pins
•closely examine your work for shorts due to solder bridges.
2.3.3Chip Components
Use the RLN4062 Hot-Air Repair Station for chip component replacement. Adjust the temperature
control to 390 °C (735 °F), and adjust the airflow to a minimum setting. Airflow can vary due to
component density.
•To remove a chip component:
1.Use a hot-air hand piece and position the nozzle of the hand piece approximately 0.3 cm
(1/8”) above the component to be removed.
2.Begin applying the hot air. Once the solder reflows, remove the component using a pair
of tweezers.
3.Using a solder wick and a soldering iron or a power desoldering station, remove the
excess solder from the pads.
•To replace a chip component using a soldering iron:
1.Select the appropriate micro-tipped soldering iron and apply fresh solder to one of the
solder pads.
2.Using a pair of tweezers, position the new chip component in place while heating the
fresh solder.
3.Once solder wicks onto the new component, remove the heat from the solder.
4.Heat the remaining pad with the soldering iron and apply solder until it wicks to the
component. If necessary, touch up the first side. All solder joints should be smooth and
shiny.
•To replace a chip component using hot air:
1.Use the hot-air hand piece and reflow the solder on the solder pads to smooth it.
2.Apply a drop of solder paste flux to each pad.
3.Using a pair of tweezers, position the new component in place.
4.Position the hot-air hand piece approximately 0.3 cm (1/8” ) above the component and
begin applying heat.
5.Once the solder wicks to the component, remove the heat and inspect the repair. All
joints should be smooth and shiny.

•To replace the shield:
1.Add solder to the shield if necessary, using a micro-tipped soldering iron.
2.Next, rub the soldering iron tip along the edge of the shield to smooth out any excess
solder. Use solder wick and a soldering iron to remove excess solder from the solder
pads on the circuit board.
3.Place the circuit board back in the circuit board holder.
4.Place the shield on the circuit board using a pair of tweezers.
5.Position the heat-focus head over the shield.
6.Turn on the heater and wait for the solder to reflow.
7.Once complete, turn off the heat, raise the heat-focus head and wait approximately one
minute for the part to cool.
8.Remove the circuit board and inspect the repair. No cleaning should be necessary.

3.2Digital Mode of Operation
This section provides an overview of the digital mode receive and transmit theory of operation.
3.2.1Receiving
When the radio is receiving (See Figure 3-2), the signal comes from the antenna connector to the
Main board, passing through the antenna switch and the receiver front end. The signal is then
filtered, amplified, and mixed with the first local-oscillator signal, generated by the voltage-controlled
oscillator (VCO).

Figure 3-2. Receiver Block Diagram
The resulting intermediate frequency (IF) signal is fed to the IF circuitry, where it is again filtered and
passed to the Abacus III digital back-end IC. In the digital back-end IC, the IF signal is mixed with the
second local oscillator to create the second IF at 2.25 MHz. In the back-end IC, a bandpass, sigmadelta, analog-to-digital converter then decodes the second IF signal, and outputs, on the radio’s
serial synchronous interface (SSI) bus, digital audio to the digital signal processor (DSP).
The dual-core processor’s digital-signal processor (DSP) digitally filters the PCM audio. The DSP
decodes the information in the signal and identifies the appropriate destination for it.
• For a voice signal, the DSP will route the digital voice data to the CODEC inside the audio and
power supply support IC, for conversion to an analog signal. The CODEC will then present the
signal to the receive audio pre-amplifier, then to the audio power amplifier, which drives the
speaker.
• For signaling information, the DSP will decode the message and pass it internally to the
microcontrol unit of the dual-core processor.

Basic Theory of Operation: Main Board3-3
3.2.2Transmitting
When the radio is transmitting, microphone audio is passed through gain stages to the CODEC,
where the signal is digitized. The CODEC passes digital data to the DSP, where pre-emphasis and
low-pass (splatter) filtering are done. The DSP passes this signal to a digital/analog converter (DAC),
where it is reconverted into an analog signal and scaled for application to the voltage-controlled
oscillator as a modulation signal (See Figure 3-3).

the synthesizer modulation input. A modulated carrier is provided to the transmitter power amplifier,
which transmits the signal under dynamic power control.

3.3.1Transceiver Operation
Refer to Figure 3-3, on page 3-3. The receiver front end consists of a pre-selector filter, low-noise
amplifier, a post-selector filter, and a mixer. Both the pre-selector filter and pro-selector filter are
varactor-tuned bandpass filters, controlled by the microcontroller. See Table 3-1 for local oscillator
(LO) and first IF information.

6871619L01-CSeptember 10, 2008
3-4Basic Theory of Operation: Main Board
The frequency generation function is performed by two ICs - two VCOs, and associated circuitry.
The reference oscillator IC provides a frequency standard to the synthesizer. The fractional-N
synthesizer turns on the two external VCOs and tunes it to RX LO or TX carrier frequency. The VCO
buffer amplifies the signal to the required power level. The synthesizer is controlled by the
microcontroller unit through a serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus. Most of the synthesizer circuitry is
enclosed in rigid metal cans on the transceiver section to reduce interference and microphonic
effects.
The receiver back end consists of a bandpass crystal filter, input and output impedance matching
networks, and the digital back-end IC. Final filtering is done digitally in the DSP.
The Abacus III digital back-end IC contains a low-noise amplifier, a mixer, a variable gain amplifier
with integral anti-alias filter, a bandpass, sigma delta, analog-to-digital converter, and a decimation
filter with a programmable decimation factor. The Abacus III also contains an automatic gain control
(AGC) circuit to provide 12 dB of continuous gain adjustments. For the second LO, the Abacus III
has an internal, integer-N frequency synthesizer, and an external, discrete loop filter and voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO). The output of the Abacus III is digital data on the RX_SSI bus.
The transmitter power amplifier (PA) consists of a driver amplifier IC and a discrete final-stage.
Transmit power is controlled by a power control IC (PCIC) that monitors the currents and adjusts PA
control voltages. The transmitter RF signal then passes through a PIN diode antenna switch and a
low-pass harmonic filter, which connects to the antenna connector.
3.3.2VOCON Operation
The vocoder and controller (VOCON) circuitry contains the radio's microcontroller unit (Patriot) with
its memory and support circuits, the DSP, its memory devices, and the DSP-support IC, voltage
regulators, audio, and power control circuits. Connected to the VOCON circuitry are the display
circuitry, RF circuitry, keypad circuitry, encryption module, microphone, speaker and vibrator.
The microcontrol unit controls receive/transmit frequencies, power levels, display, and other radio
functions, using either direct logic control or serial communications paths to the devices.The
microcontrol unit executes a stored program located in the FLASH ROM. Data is transferred to and
from memory by the microcontrol unit data bus. The memory location from which data is read, or to
which data is written, is selected by the address lines.
The DSP-support IC is supplied with a 16.8 MHz clock from the RF circuitry. Both the DSP and the
microprocessor have their clocks generated by the DSP-support IC. They can both be adjusted so
that the harmonics do not cause interference with the radio’s receive channel.
The regulator and power-control circuits include 3.3-volt analog, 3.3-volt digital, and 5-volt
regulators. The audio PA is sourced from 7.5V. The regulator’s power-down mode is controlled by
the microcontrol unit, which senses the on/off button.
The DSP performs signalling and voice encoding and decoding, as well as audio filtering and volume
control. This IC performs Private-Line
®
/Digital Private LineTM (PL/DPL) encode and alert-tone
generation. The IC transmits pre-emphasis on analog signals and applies a low-pass (splatter) filter
to all transmitted signals. It requires a clock on the EXTAL pin. An 8 kHz interrupt signal generated
by the DSP-support IC is also required for functionality. It is programmed using parallel programming
from the microcontrol unit.
The audio CODEC performs analog-to-digital (A/D), and digital-to-analog conversions on audio
signals. The DSP controls squelch, deviation, and executes receiver and transmitter filtering. The
DSP-support IC receives a 2.4 MHz clock, and also receives data, which it formats for the DSP.

Radio Alignment Procedures: Softpot6-3
6.3Softpot
The alignment screens introduce the concept of the “softpot,” an analog SOFTware-controlled
POTentiometer used for adjusting all transceiver alignment controls.
DO NOT switch radios in the middle of any alignment
procedure. Always left-click the Close button on the screen to
return to the Main Menu screen before disconnecting the
radio. Improper exits from the alignment screens might leave
the radio in an improperly configured state and result in
seriously degraded radio or system performance.
Each alignment screen provides the ability to increase or decrease the softpot value by using a slider
or the spin buttons in the New Softpot Value box, or by entering the new value from the keyboard
directly into the box. The slider bar indicates the minimum and maximum values of the softpot, while
the Radio Softpot Value indicates the recommended value; see Figure 6-3 (VHF)/ Figure 6-4 (UHF).

Figure 6-4. Typical Softpot Screen – UHF
6871619L01-CSeptember 10, 2008
6-4Radio Alignment Procedures: Radio Information
Adjusting the softpot value sends information to the radio to increase (or decrease) the voltage in the
corresponding circuit. For example, left-clicking the UP spin button in the New Softpot Value scroll
box on the Reference Oscillator screen instructs the radio’s microcomputer to increase the voltage
across a varactor in the reference oscillator, which increases the frequency.
In ALL cases, the softpot value is just a relative number corresponding to a digital-to-analog (D/A)
generated voltage in the radio.
Perform the following procedures in the sequence indicated.
NOTE: Some of the following screens may vary depending upon the radio under test and the version
of tuner software you are using. Refer to the software’s online help.

Figure 6-5. Radio Information Screen
6.5Reference Oscillator Alignment
Adjustment of the reference oscillator is critical for proper radio operation. Improper adjustment will
result not only in poor operation, but also in a misaligned radio that will interfere with other users
operating on adjacent channels. For this reason, the reference oscillator should be checked every
time the radio is serviced, or once a year, whichever comes first. The frequency counter used for this
procedure must have a stability of 0.1 ppm (or better).
NOTE: Reference oscillator alignment is required after replacing (or servicing) the mainboard.
This test can be done with either the R-2670 Communication Analyzer or the 8901_ Modulation
Analyzer.

Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmit Power Alignment6-7
6.6Transmit Power Alignment
This alignment procedure adjusts the transmit power of the radio and must be performed for three
different power levels (Low, Mid, and High), at multiple frequencies for each power level, to allow for
proper alignment across the entire RF band. The RF band is divided into frequency zones with a
calibration point (value) in each zone.
NOTES:
• The same softpot attenuation value will result in different radio output power levels at different
frequencies.
• All power measurements are to be made at the antenna port.
• Transmit Power alignment is required after replacing (or servicing) the mainboard.

Radio Alignment Procedures: Transmit Deviation Balance Alignment6-9
6.7Transmit Deviation Balance Alignment
This alignment procedure balances the modulation contributions of the low- and high-frequency
portions of a baseband signal. Proper alignment is critical to the operation of signalling schemes that
have very low frequency components (for example, DPL) and could result in distorted waveforms if
improperly adjusted.
This procedure needs to be performed at multiple frequencies to allow for proper alignment across
the entire RF band. The RF band is divided into frequency zones with a calibration point (value) in
each zone.
NOTE: This alignment is required after replacing (or servicing) the main board.
Proper alignment requires a modulation analyzer or meter with a frequency response to less than
10 Hz modulating frequency. The modulation analyzer settings during this test should be set for
average deviation, a 15 kHz low-pass filter, no de-emphasis, and no high-pass filter, if these settings
are supported.
This test can be done with either the R-2670 Communication Analyzer or the 8901_ Series
Modulation Analyzer. The method of choice is the R-2670 analyzer.
1.Initial setup using the R-2670 Communication Analyzer:
– Connect a BNC cable between the “DEMOD OUT” port and the “VERT/SINAD DIST/DMM
COUNTER IN” port on the R-2670.
– Press the SPF key on the R-2670 to display the “SPECIAL FUNCTIONS MENU.” Move the
cursor to “High Pass,” and select 5 Hz on the soft key menu. Select 20 kHz for the “Low Pass”
setting.

Move the cursor to the “B/W” setting and select “WIDE +/- 100 kHz” on the soft key menu.
– Place the R-2670 cursor in the “Display” zone. Select “AC VOLTS” on the soft key menu.
Move the cursor to the “Range” setting and select “AUTO.”
2.Initial setup using the 8901_ Series Modulation Analyzer:
– Press the FM MEASUREMENT button. (The “Error 03-input level too low” indication is
normal until an input signal is applied.)
– Simultaneously press the Peak – and Peak + buttons. Both LEDs on the buttons should light.
– Press the 15 kHz LP filter key.
3.Select the TX Deviation Balance alignment screen. The screen indicates the transmit
frequencies to be used. See Figure 6-11 (VHF)/ Figure 6-12 (UHF) on page 6-10.
4.Click the desired frequency field (starting with the highest frequency shown).
5.Click the PTT Toggle button to make the radio transmit. The screen indicates whether the
radio is transmitting.
7.Click the PTT Toggle button on the screen to enable transmission. The screen indicates
whether the radio is transmitting. Wait approximately 5 seconds until the voltage shown on
R-2670, or the deviation shown on the 8901_ analyzer, stabilizes.

the entire RF band. The RF band is divided into frequency zones with a calibration point (value) in
each zone.
NOTE: This alignment is required after replacing (or servicing) the main board.
This test can be done with either the R-2670 Communication Analyzer or the 8901_ Series
Modulation Analyzer. The method of choice is the R-2670 analyzer.

Encryption: Load an Encryption Key7-1
Chapter 7Encryption
This chapter provides procedures for using the encryption capability of your radio. The following
procedures are outlined:
• Loading an encryption key
• Selecting an encryption key
• Selecting an Index
• Erasing an encryption key
7.1Load an Encryption Key
To load an encryption key:
1.Refer to the key-variable loader (KVL) manual for equipment connections and setup.
2.Attach KVL to the bottom connector of the radio using Keyload cable 0182297T15. The
display shows “KEYLOADING.” All other radio functions, except for power down, backlight, and
volume, are locked out.
3.Refer to the KVL manual for how to load the encryption keys into the radio.
4.When the key is loaded successfully, you will hear:
• On single-key radios—a short tone.
• On multikey radios—an alternating tone.
7.2Multikey Feature
This feature allows the radio to be equipped with multiple encryption keys. It can support up to two
different encryption algorithms simultaneously (e.g., DVP-XL and DES-XL).
• Conventional Multikey — The encryption keys can be tied (strapped), on a one-per-channel
basis. In addition, the radio can have operator-selectable keys, operator-selectable indices, and
operator-selectable key erasure. If talkgroups are enabled in conventional, then the encryption
keys are strapped to the talkgroups.
• Trunked Multikey — If the radio is used for both conventional and trunked applications, strap
the encryption keys for trunking on a per- talkgroup or announcement group basis. In addition,
a different key can be strapped to other features; for example, dynamic regrouping, failsoft, or
emergency talkgroup. The radio can have operator-selectable key erasure.
7.3Select an Encryption Key

clean and free of all foreign material, including oils and/or any
remaining adhesive after disassembly. If necessary, the surfaces
may be cleaned using a 0.5% solution of a mild dishwashing
detergent in water applied sparingly to the surface, ensuring that no
water enters into adjacent openings (connectors or otherwise),
cracks, or crevices. Remove the solution and dry the surface using a
lintless cloth or tissue. All newly applied adhesive interfaces should

Basic Troubleshooting: Power-Up Error Codes9-1
Chapter 9Basic Troubleshooting
This section of the manual contains troubleshooting charts and error codes that will help you to
isolate a problem. Level one and two troubleshooting will support only radio alignment,
programming, battery replacement, and knob replacement, and circuit board replacement.
Component-level service information can be found in the “ASTRO XTS 4000 Portable Radios
Detailed Service Manual,” Motorola publication number 68P71620L01.
9.1Power-Up Error Codes
When the radio is turned on (power-up), the radio performs self-tests to determine if its basic
electronics and software are in working order. Problems detected during these tests are presented
as error codes on the radio’s display. For non-display radios, the problem will be presented at
power-up by a single, low-frequency tone. The radio should be sent to the depot if cycling power and
reprogramming the code plug do not solve the problem. The presence of an error should prompt the
user that a problem exists and that a service technician should be contacted.
Self-test errors are classified as either fatal or non-fatal. Fatal errors will inhibit user operation;
non-fatal errors will not. Use Table 9-1 to aid in understanding particular power-up error code
displays.

9.2Operational Error Codes
During radio operation, the radio performs dynamic tests to determine if the radio is working
properly. Problems detected during these tests are presented as error codes on the radio’s display.
The presence of an error code should prompt a user that a problem exists and that a service
technician should be contacted. Use Table 9-2 to aid in understanding particular operational error
codes.
