The assembly line is a multi-phase process that requires close attention to detail. It is where we bring together, inspect and test the devices, and remove any pieces with defects.

Case Assembly
At this point all of the parts of the radio are collected. The buttons are inserted, and belt clips or other items are attached in preparation for the insertion of the circuit board.

Electronic Assembly
During the electronic assembly the chip set, or IC, is randomly tested for defects. We test the other parts, such as the earphones, capacitors, transistors, and resistors, as well. Then the internal parts are placed in their proper position on the circuit board and they are soldered into position. Once the final components are soldered in to create an operational product, we retest the final product for functionality.

Battery
After the radios are tested and meet our stringent quality control standards, the batteries are either placed in the radio's shell or in the packaging. In order to ensure the radio is not inadvertently turned on during shipping, a plastic battery protector is inserted into the battery housing. All pieces include batteries.
