CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL MANUAL INFORMATION
This manual contains instructions for the operation, maintenance, and support of the mobile
data radio (MDR) assembly and the base station radio (BDR) assembly. This manual
describes each entity of the radio assemblies in detail. It provides the necessary information
for qualified technical personnel to install, repair, and maintain the MDR and BDR assemblies
to the line replaceable unit (LRU).
This manual is divided into six chapters, which consist of sections to describe the information
or procedures in detail. The six chapters are as follows:
• Chapter 1 outlines the contents of this manual and provides a basic equipment
description of the MDR and BDR.
• Chapter 2 provides preparation for use and installation information.
• Chapter 3 provides operating procedures for the equipment.
• Chapter 4 provides the principles of operation.
• Chapter 5 provides preventive and corrective maintenance of the radio assemblies.
• Chapter 6 contains a vendor list and parts list for procurement of replacement
parts.
• Chapter 7 contains mechanical outlines of the data radios.
1.2 PREPARATION FOR STORAGE OR SHIPMENT
The following paragraphs describe guidelines for long term storage and the shipment of the
equipment.
1.2.1 STORAGE
Before storage, wrap the equipment in static shielding bubble wrap. Bubble wrap protects
internal electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) assemblies, external panels, and connectors.
Place wrapped equipment in the original shipping containers and seal. Store in a cool dry
place, away from the elements.
1.2.2 SHIPMENT
Ship equipment in the original shipping containers or in a container that provides sufficient
protection for ESDS equipment. Pack the equipment in a manner that provides protection for
all external switches and mountings, because these items are most vulnerable to damage
during shipment.
