that secure the connectors; then tighten the 11 (Mod Strike 5 modules), 7 (Mod Strike 6 and 7
modules) M3 x 8 mm screws that secure the module to the receiver’s mainframe.
(4) Refit the following connectors to the module:
❑ CN1 50-way connector (50-way ribbon cable from PA Control/Rx RF module)
❑ CN3 14-way connector (14-way ribbon cable from PSU Regulator module)
❑ CN4 34-way connector (34-way ribbon cable from Front Panel module).

(8) If a new module has been fitted, connect the VFP PC to the radio using the PC to Radio
Interconnection Lead, Park Air part number 17E12600001 (if not already connected). Note that
any module sent from Park Air as a spare for a particular radio will be programmed with
compatible operating and Fill software. Park Air keeps records of module software in all radios
supplied. Care must be taken when using a module removed from another radio as this module
may not have compatible software.
(9) If saved during the removal procedure, download the radio settings from file using the VFP (see
VFP information starting on page 21). Alternatively the settings can be edited by hand as
described in the Operation section of this document. Once entered, ensure the required settings
appear in the VFP screen.

the rear mounted Power switch. Isolate the transceiver from the ac and/or dc supplies.
(13) Refit the transceiver’s top cover (take note of repairs caution (1) on page 5 before carrying out
this task). The transceiver can now be returned to service.
