Chip Components Use either the RLN4062 Hot-Air Repair Station or the Motorola 0180381B45 Repair Station for chip component replacement. When using the 0180381B45 Repair Station, select the TJ-65 mini-thermojet hand piece. On either unit, adjust the temperature control to 370 °C (700 °F), and adjust the airflow to a minimum setting.

MAINTENANCE Shields Removing and replacing shields will be done with the R1070 station with the temperature control set to approximately 215°C (415°F) [230°C (445°F) maximum]. ❏ To remove the shield: Place the circuit board in the R1070 circuit board holder. Select the proper heat focus head and attach it to the heater chimney.
1. Unless otherwise stated, resistances are in Ohms (k = 1000), and capacitances are in picofarads (pF) or microfarads (µF). 2. DC voltages are measured from point indicated to chassis ground using a Motorola DC multimeter or equivalent. Transmitter measurements should be made with a 1.2 µF choke in series with the voltage probe to prevent circuit loading.
Table 3-1 lists the service aids recommended for working on the radio. While all of these items are available from Motorola, most are standard workshop equipment items, and any equivalent item capable of the same performance may be substituted for the item listed.
