Overview
This section explains, step by step, how to disassemble
and reassemble the GTX/GTX LTR/LTS 2000 radios.

Safety Information

When testing and repairing the GTX/GTX LTR/LTS
2000 radios, observe the handling precautions to pre-
vent unnecessary damage to the GTX/GTX LTR/LTS
2000 radios.
• 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 qualified 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
floor 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.
• When removing printed circuit boards (PCBs),
remove the screws in a diagonal pattern to
reduce stress on the boards.
