FMRC's Approval Standard Class Number 3605 is subject to change at
any time without notice to you, so you may want to obtain a current
copy of 3605 from FMRC. Per the December, 1994 publication of 3605,
some key definitions and service requirements are as follows:
Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would
bring it back to its original condition Approved by FMRC. A repair
should be done in an FMRC Approved facility.
Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is
performed on a unit which does not require the outer casing of the
unit to be opened in a manner which exposes the internal electrical
circuits of the unit. You do not have to be an FMRC Approved Repair
Facility to perform these actions.
Relabeling
The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of
FMRC Approval labels are controlled to ensure that any relabeling is
limited to units that were originally shipped from the Manufacturer
with an FM Approval label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be
stocked by the repair facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered
from the original manufacturer as needed to repair a specific unit.
Replacement labels may be obtained and applied by the repair facility
providing satisfactory evidence that the unit being relabeled was
originally an FMRC Approved unit. Verification may include, but is
not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval label, a unit with a
defective housing displaying an Approval label, or a customer invoice
indicating the serial number of the unit and purchase of an FMRC
Approved model.
Do Not Substitute
Options or Accessories
The communications equipment package that Motorola submits to
FMRC for testing and approval is tested as a system that consists of the
communications unit itself and the battery, antenna and other
options or accessories that make up the rest of the package to be
approved. This approved package must be strictly observed and there
must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute you wanted to
consider appears as an approved accessory elsewhere in the Guide for
some other communications equipment unit. Approved
configurations are listed by FMRC Approved Product in the annual
Approval Guide published by FMRC. That guide, and the Approval
Standard Class Number 3605 document, can be ordered from the
following address.
