workmanship under normal use and service for a period of time from the date of purchase 
as scheduled below:
Motorola, at its option, will at no charge either repair the Product (with new or 
reconditioned parts), replace it (with a new or reconditioned Product), or refund the 
purchase price of the Product during the warranty period provided it is returned in 
accordance with the terms of this warranty. Replaced parts or boards are warranted for the 
balance of the original applicable warranty period. All replaced parts of Product shall 
become the property of MOTOROLA.
This express limited warranty is extended by MOTOROLA to the original end user 
purchaser only and is not assignable or transferable to any other party. This is the complete 
warranty for the Product manufactured by MOTOROLA. MOTOROLA assumes no 
obligations or liability for additions or modifications to this warranty unless made in 
writing and signed by an officer of MOTOROLA. Unless made in a separate agreement 
between MOTOROLA and the original end user purchaser, MOTOROLA does not warrant 
the installation, maintenance or service of the Product.
MOTOROLA cannot be responsible in any way for any ancillary equipment not furnished 
by MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with the Product, or for 
operation of the Product with any ancillary equipment, and all such equipment is expressly 
excluded from this warranty. Because each system which may use the Product is unique, 
MOTOROLA disclaims liability for range, coverage, or operation of the system as a whole 
under this warranty.

Motorolas normal warranty inspection and testing of the Product to verify any 
warranty claim.
F) Product which has had the serial number removed or made illegible.
G) Rechargeable batteries if:
•any of the seals on the battery enclosure of cells are broken or show evidence of 
tampering.

VI. Patent And Software 
ProvisionsMOTOROLA will defend, at its own expense, any suit brought against the end user 
purchaser to the extent that it is based on a claim that the Product or parts infringe a United 
States patent, and MOTOROLA will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against 
the end user purchaser in any such suit which are attributable to any such claim, but such 
defense and payments are conditioned on the following:
A)  that MOTOROLA will be notified promptly in writing by such purchaser of any 
notice of such claim;
B) that MOTOROLA will have sole control of the defense of such suit and all 
negotiations for its settlement or compromise; and
C) should the Product or parts become, or in MOTOROLAs opinion be likely to 
become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a United States patent, that such 
purchaser will permit MOTOROLA, at its option and expense, either to procure for 
such purchaser the right to continue using the Product or parts or to replace or modify 
the same so that it becomes noninfringing or to grant such purchaser a credit for the 
Product or parts as depreciated and accept its return. The depreciation will be an equal 
amount per year over the lifetime of the Product or parts as established by 
MOTOROLA.
MOTOROLA will have no liability with respect to any claim of patent infringement which 
is based upon the combination of the Product or parts furnished hereunder with software, 
apparatus or devices not furnished by MOTOROLA, nor will MOTOROLA have any 
liability for the use of ancillary equipment or software not furnished by MOTOROLA 
which is attached to or used in connection with the Product. The foregoing states the entire 
liability of MOTOROLA with respect to infringement of patents by the Product or any parts 
thereof.
Laws in the United States and other countries preserve for MOTOROLA certain exclusive 
rights for copyrighted MOTOROLA software such as the exclusive rights to reproduce in 
copies and distribute copies of such Motorola software. MOTOROLA software may be 
used in only the Product in which the software was originally embodied and such software 
in such Product may not be replaced, copied, distributed, modified in any way, or used to 
produce any derivative thereof. No other use including, without limitation, alteration, 
modification, reproduction, distribution, or reverse engineering of such MOTOROLA 
software or exercise of rights in such MOTOROLA software is permitted. No license is 
granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise under MOTOROLA patent rights or

GeneralThis manual covers information needed for level one and two troubleshooting. Level one 
troubleshooting consists of radio programming, tuning (via CPS/tuner), knobs 
replacement, and installation and removal of antenna, belt clip, battery, and universal 
connector cover. Level two troubleshooting consists of everything listed in level one, plus 
the identification and replacement of Field Replaceable Units (FRUs). No soldering will be 
allowed; only board swapping.
Included in this manual are radio specifications for the 700/800 MHz frequency bands, a 
general description of ASTRO Digital XTS 2500 models, recommended test equipment, 
service aids, radio alignment procedures, general maintenance recommendations, and 
procedures for basic assembly and disassembly.

Radio 
DescriptionThe ASTRO Digital XTS 2500 radios are among the most sophisticated two-way radios 
available.
One of the newest in a long line of quality Motorola products, the ASTRO Digital XTS 
2500 radio provides improved voice quality across more coverage area. The digital process, 
called “embedded signalling,” intermixes system signalling information with digital voice, 
resulting in improved system reliability, and the capability of supporting a multitude of 
advanced features. Such features add up to better, more cost-effective two-way radio 
communications.
ASTRO Digital XTS 2500 radios are available in three basic models. Table 1 describes 
their basic features.
FLASHportThe ASTRO® Digital XTS 2500 radio utilizes Motorola’s revolutionary FLASHport™ 
technology. FLASHport makes it possible to add software that drives the radio’s 
capabilities both at the time of purchase and later on. Previously, changing a radio’s features 
and capabilities meant significant modifications, or buying a new radio. But now, just as a 
computer can be loaded with different software, the radio’s features and capabilities can be 
upgraded with FLASHport software.Table 1. ASTRO XTS 2500 Basic Features
