forward and return paths by color are printed on the chassis covers for easy reference of

BACKWARD/FORWARD COMPATIBILITY

Forward Compatibility: The latest amplifiers may use all ergonomic accessories such as the JXP-
*B, but it is also possible to use the older version non-ergonomic accessories such as the JXP-*A
if desired. However, these older accessories may require a tool or removal of the chassis cover
for installation.

Backward Compatibility: The ergonomic accessories are the same as the previous accessories,
except for the addition of the plastic guides and shells. In the case of the attenuators, a two-
piece feature has been implemented for backward compatibility. Therefore, the top piece can be
removed for use in older amplifiers. The pad value is printed on the top of both pieces, so it is still
visible even if the top piece is removed. See chart below for attenuator nomenclature. For more
information, please contact your Motorola Account Representative.
