I. INTRODUCTION
This manual is prepared for the Tandy 102 technicians working in field or in repair centers. Users of
this manual should be acquainted with the 80C85A microprocessor, the 81 C55 PIOand the 6402
UART. Ifyou need more detailed information,referto Appendix C inthis manual.
This manual consists of seven sections and three appendices:
Section I
This section provides general information on the Tandy 102 such as specifications, external
views and internal views.
Section II
This section describes the disassembly procedures.
Section III
This section describes the maintenance of the Tandy 102.
Section IV
This section describes the general theory of operation for the Tandy 102.
SectionV
This section describes how to troubleshoot the Tandy 102.
Section VI
This section provides an exploded view and parts list of the Tandy 102.
Section VII
This section provides the schematics, PCB diagrams, and silkscreen views of the PCBs of the
Tandy 102.
Appendix A
This appendix provides instructions for installing the optional ROM and additional RAMs.
Appendix B
This appendix provides the character code table, keyboard layouts and connector pin
assignments.
Appendix C
This appendix provides the technical information of the 80C85A, 81 C55, 6402 and LCD.

SystemOverview
Tandy 102 portable computer is a low cost version of the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 100 Portable
Computer. The Tandy 102 is fully compatible with the Model 100 in its software so that both system
users can take advantage of the large number of programs available.
The Tandy 102 has the following applications programs in the standard ROM: BASIC, TEXT,
TELCOM, ADDRSS, SCHEDL and TELCOM.
External View
1 Keyboard: Can be used like the standard typewriter. However, the Tandy 102 does have a few
speciatkeys. (See Appendix B of this manual for more details.)
2 LCD Screen: The Tandy 102 display has eight lines that allow 40 characters on each line.
3 Power Switch: Move this switch towards the front to turn the power on. To conserve the
batteries, the Tandy 102 automatically turns the power off ifyou do not use it for 10 minutes in
default setting.
4 Low Battery Indicator: Before the Tandy 102 is operational batteries become exhausted, this
indicator will illuminate.
5 Display Adjustment Dial: This control adjusts the contrast of the LCD display relative to the
viewing angle.
6 External Power Adapter Connector: Connect the appropriate and of Radio Shack's AC Power
Supply (Catalog Number 26-3804, optional/extra) to this connector. Connect the other end of
the power supply to a standard AC wall-outlet or approved power strip.

1 RESETSwitch: Ifthe Tandy 102 "locks up" (i.e., the display "freezes" and all keys seem to be
inoperative), press this button to return to the Main Menu (start-up). It is not likely that the
Tandy 102 will lock-up when you are using the built-in applications programs, however, it may
occur with customized programs.
2 RS-232C Connector: Attach a DB-25 cable (such as Radio Shack Catalog Number 26-1408) to
this connector when you need to receive or transmit serial information. When you
communicating directly with another TRS-80 computer, a Null MODEM Adapter (26-1496) is
required. An 8" Cable Extender (26-1497) may also be required.
3 SYSTEM BUS Connector: Connect this connector to the TRS-80 Disk/Video interface
(26-3806), using the system bus cable.
4 PRINTER Connctor: For hard-copy printouts of information, attach any Radio Shack parallel
printer to this connector, using an optional/extra printer cable.
5 Direct-Connect MODEM (PHONE)Connector: When communicating with another computer via
the Tandy 102's built-in MODEM, connect the round end of the optional/extra MODEM cable
to this connector.
6 CASSETTE Recorder Connector: To save or load information, on a cassette tape, connect the
cassette recorder here. An optional/extra cassette recorder (and cable) is required.
7 Bar Code Wand Connector: Attach the optional/extra bar code wand to this connector. Note
that special bar code reader software is required.
8 DIR/ACP Selector : This selector allows you to select either a direct or acoustic coupler
connection. Ifyou are communicating with another computer over the phone lines via the
built-in, direct-connect MODEM, set this switch to the DIR position. If you are using the
optional/extra Model 100 Acoustic Coupler (26-3805), set this connector to the ACP position.
9 ANS/ORIG Selector: Ifyou are "originating" a phone call to another computer, set this switch
to ORIG. If another computer is calling your Tandy 102, set to ANS.

1 MEMORY POWERSwitch: This switch is used to prevent discharge of the internal
Nickel-Cadmium battery, which is used for RAM back-up. The Tandy 102 will operate only
when the power switch is set to ON. Set this switch to the OFF position when the Tandy 102 will
not be used for a long period of time. Note that the RAM will not be backed up when this switch
is set to the OFF position.
2 Optional ROM and RAM Compartment: An optional/extra ROM and RAM can be inserted into
this compartment to enhance the Tandy 102 capabilities.
3 Battery Compartment : When not connected to an AC power source, the Tandy 102 gets its
power from four AA size batteries that must be installed in this compartment.
