INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Motorola’s
CDM Series family of
radio users. The
CDM1550•LS+™, the
Intelligent Radio,
combines the very latest
in two-way technology
while delivering
outstanding functionality at the touch of a
button.
The CDM1550•LS+ mobile radio operates on
PassPort and LTR trunked and conventional
radio systems.
TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMS
Trunked systems allow a large number of users
to share a relatively small number of
frequencies or repeaters without interfering
with each other. The airtime of all the repeaters
in a trunked system is pooled, which
maximizes the amount of airtime available to
any one radio and minimizes channel
congestion.
PassPort® Trunked Systems
PassPort is an enhanced trunking protocol
developed by Trident Datacom Technologies,
Inc. that supports wide area dispatch
networking. A network is formed by linking
several trunked sites together to form a single
system. This offers users an extended
communication coverage area. Additionally,
users with PassPort can seamlessly roam
among all sites within the network. Seamless
roaming means that the radio user does not
have to manually change the zones on the
radio when roaming from site-to-site.
LTR® Trunked Systems
LTR is a transmission based trunking protocol
developed by the E. F. Johnson Company for
primarily single site trunking applications. In
transmission trunking, a repeater is used for
only the duration of a single transmission.
Once a transmission is completed, that
repeater becomes available to other users.
This means that a conversation comprised of
many transmissions may occur over several
different channels within the LTR system. This
method of trunking provides system efficiency

INTRODUCTION
by making repeaters available to all users after
every transmission.
CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS
Conventional radio systems typically refers to
unit-to-unit communications through a single
channel. Conventional systems also allow
radio users to extend communication coverage
by relaying their messages through a repeater.
To ensure coordinated use by multiple
talkgroups, each radio user must monitor the
channel or repeater before transmitting to
verify that the system is not currently busy.

RADIO OVERVIEW
PROGRAMMABLE BUTTONS
Your radio has several programmable buttons
that can be programmed by your dealer as
shortcuts to various radios’ features.
Programmable buttons include:
• The four front buttons (P1, P2, P3, and P4).
• The three buttons (A. B, and C) of the
optional DTMF microphone.
Some buttons can access up to two features,
depending on the type of button press:
•Short Press—quickly pressing and
releasing the programmable buttons,
or
•Long Press—pressing and holding the
programmable buttons,
or
•Hold Down—pressing and holding down
the programmable buttons while checking
status or making adjustments.
The table on page 21 summarizes the
programmable features available and shows
the page number where the feature is
explained.
In the “Button” column, have your dealer record
the name of the programmable button next to
the feature that has been programmed to
them.
Use the abbreviations for instance P1, P2, P3,
and P4 shown in the radio illustrations at the
front of this manual.
Also, where a choice exists, have your dealer
indicate whether the button press is short
press (SP), or long press (LP).
Check with your dealer for a complete list of
features your radio supports.

TRUNKING
PASSPORT TRUNKING
PassPort is an enhanced, wide-area trunking
protocol developed by Trident Datacom
Technologies, Inc. Up to 128 trunked sites can
be linked together to form one PassPort
system, which means that your
communications can extend far beyond the
reach of a single trunked site.
SEAMLESS ROAMING
PassPort Trunking systems offer you the ability
to seamlessly roam among all sites in a
network. Seamless Roaming means that you
do not have to manually change the zones on
the radio when roaming from site-to-site. As
you roam throughout a PassPort System’s
coverage area, your CDM1550•LS+ radio is
regularly monitoring the RSSI (Received
Signal Strength Indication) level of the site on
which you are currently registered. In addition,
if the signal strength falls below the acceptable
threshold pre-programmed by your dealer, your
radio starts monitoring the RSSI level of
adjacent sites within the network. This allows
the CDM1550•LS+ radio to quickly roam to the
site with the strongest signal, which provides
you with optimal audio quality throughout your
communications.
Initial Registration
Before communications with your talkgroup
can begin, your radio needs to register on the
PassPort system. Registration automatically
takes place upon radio power up or after
selecting the desired PassPort zone on the
selector knob. What you see:
1Upon radio Power up, you see:
(if you select a PassPort zone after the
radio is powered up, see step 2).

appears on the display.

Roaming and Registering Between Sites
Once initial registration with the PassPort
system has occurred, your radio constantly
monitors the RSSI to ensure an acceptable
signal level is maintained (as programmed by
your dealer). When the RSSI in the radio falls
below this acceptable level, the radio attempts
to roam to and register onto another site within
the PassPort system. This process happens
automatically and requires no action by you.
What you see:
Note: If the radio performs a more
extensive frequency search in order to
attempt successful registration, you may see

ROAM REQUEST
Because of the RSSI feature, the radio
automatically roams to a different site when the
signal from the registered site becomes too
weak for quality communication. This RSSI
threshold is programmed by your dealer.

would be better on another site, you may want
to manually initiate the roaming process. This
feature is called Roam Request.

Decoding an Emergency Alarm
(Conventional Operation Only)
If preprogrammed by your dealer, your radio
decodes (responds to) an Emergency Alarm or
Emergency Call by:
• Sounding a unique, repeating alert tone
• Activating an external alarm
• Displaying alternating message parts on a
single line, similar to the following example:
•the word Emergency, followed by:
• Emergency Alias from the Radio Call List
(example, MDC CALL 01), followed by:
• Timestamp of the Emergency Alert (exam-
ple, 03:55).
• Flashing the E icon (while decoding only;
lights steady when encoding)
Multiple Queued Emergencies
Clearing the existing displayed Emergency
shows the next in the queue, if one exists.The
display updates and shows “Emerg (queued
number) of (total number)”. If no additional
Emergencies are queued, the radio exits
Emergency mode and resumes normal mode.

Three Minute Timer
Responding to an Emergency starts a three-
minute timer. The radio does not generate
another Emergency Alert tone against that
Emergency Alias or ID until the three-minute
period expires. If cleared within 3 minutes, the
alarm will regenerate the alert. If the radio
receives another Emergency Alert from the
same Alias or ID, the radio acknowledges the
Emergency but does not restart the tone,
activate the external alarm, or display updated
information.
After the Timer Expires
If the three-minute timer has expired for a
specific Emergency Alias or ID, and the radio
decodes an Emergency that is currently in
queue, the radio:
• Acknowledges the Emergency
• Restarts the Emergency Alert tone
• Activates the external alarm
• Updates the time stamp on the matching
Emergency
Note: If the Radio Call List does not include an
alias for the radio ID, the ID displays. Radios
that do not support the signaling protocol
sound the alert tone, activate the external
alarm and display data.

SCAN
Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature,
which allows you to search for, lock onto, and
monitor voice activity on trunked talkgroups
and conventional channels.
There are five types of Scan available in your
radio:
• Auto Group Scan
• All Group Scan
• PassPort Primary Auto Scan
• PassPort Group Scan
• System Scan
The table below summarizes the Scan types
available in each zone type.
Shaded areas indicate that Scan can be
enabled through a programmable button (see
page 16) or through your radio menu.
TALKBACK
When activity is detected during any type of
scan, scanning stops and the active talkgroup
or channel appears and remains on the display
until scanning resumes. Your dealer can
program the amount of time you can respond
(or “TALKBACK”) to the caller before your radio
resumes scanning.
You must press the PTT button to participate in
the call; otherwise, scanning continues to the
other talkgroups or channels.
