Motorola Talkabout FV700R Front Faceplate Replacement

Remove the back battery cover by pressing the tab to the left, and lifting.

• A small screwdriver can aid this process.

Remove the batteries currently in the radio.

• When you're ready to add new batteries, place Ni-MH or AAA replacement batteries in the specified slots.
• The orientation of the batteries is specified in the battery compartment.

Turn the Volume knob to the off position.

Firmly grasp and pull back on the volume knob. The knob should come off smoothly.

• This may require some twisting and force.

Remove the four 3 millimeter T6 Torx screws from the front of the radio.

Remove the four 3 millimeter T8 Torx screws from the back of the radio.

Gently open the backplate of the radio. Use a flathead screwdriver to slowly pry apart the two sides.

• Be careful, as the antenna is still attached. Pulling the two sides apart too quickly could break the antenna.

Gently pull the circuit board away from the front faceplate.

• Be careful not to tug the wire connecting the circuit board to the speaker, as it is still attached to the faceplate.
• Do not touch the the button contacts on the circuit board (the button contacts are shown in the red box of the second picture). This can cause long-term damage to the radio unless you properly clean them (see Repairing Motorola TALKABOUT FV700 Two Way Radio Button Contacts Guide).
