ment antenna. Unauthorized antennas,

modifications, or attachments could dam-

age the radio and may violate FCC regula-

tions.

Approved Accessories

For a list of Motorola approved antennas see

the Accessory section of this user manual.

Fixed Site Antennas

If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed

location and operated as a control station or as

a fixed unit, the antenna installation must

comply with the following requirements in order

to ensure optimal performance and compliance

with the RF energy exposure limits in the

above standards and guidelines.

• The antenna should be mounted outside

the building on the roof or a tower if at all

possible.

• As with all fixed site antenna installations, it

is the responsibility of the licensee to man-

age the site in accordance with applicable

regulatory requirements and may require

additional compliance actions such as site

survey measurements, signage, and site

access restrictions in order to insure that

exposure limits are not exceeded.

ELECTROMAGNETIC

INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY

NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is sus-

ceptible to electromagnetic interfer-

ence (EMI) if inadequately shielded,

designed or otherwise configured for

electromagnetic compatibility. It may be

necessary to conduct compatibility

testing to determine if any electronic

equipment used in or around vehicles

or near fixed antenna sites is sensitive

to external RF energy and if any proce-

dures need to be followed to eliminate

or mitigate the potential for interaction

between the radio transmitter and the

equipment or device.

01_Safety.fm Page 9 Friday, May 3, 2002 11:38 AM

English

SAFETY

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or

compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in

any facility where posted notices instruct

you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities

may be using equipment that is sensitive to

external RF energy.

Vehicles

To avoid possible interaction between the radio

transmitter and any vehicle electronic control

modules, for example, ABS, engine, or

transmission controls, we recommend that the

radio be installed by an experienced installer

and that the following precautions be used

when installing the radio:

1. Refer to any manufacturers instructions

or other technical bulletins or

recommendations on radio installation.

2. Before installing the radio, determine

the location of the electronic control

modules and their harnesses in the

vehicle.

3. Route all radio wiring, including the

antenna transmission line, as far away

as possible from the electronic control

units and associated wiring.

Driver Safety

Check the laws and regulations on the use of

radios in the area where you drive. Always

obey them.

When using your radio while driving, please:

• Give full attention to driving and to the

road.

• Pull off the road and park before making

or answering a call if driving conditions

so require.

OPERATIONAL WARNINGS

For Vehicles With an Air Bag

Do not place a mobile radio in the area over an

air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air

bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed

W A R N I N G

01_Safety.fm Page 10 Friday, May 3, 2002 11:38 AM

SAFETY

in the air bag deployment area and the air bag

inflates, the radio may be propelled with great

force and cause serious injury to occupants of

the vehicle.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Turn off your radio prior to entering any area

with a potentially explosive atmosphere.

Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere

can cause an explosion or fire resulting in

bodily injury or even death.

The areas with potentially explosive

atmospheres referred to above include fueling

areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or

chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas

where the air contains chemicals or particles,

such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any

other area where you would normally be

advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas

with potentially explosive atmospheres are

often but not always posted.

Blasting Caps and Areas

To avoid possible interference with blasting

operations, turn off your radio when you are

near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area,

or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.”

Obey all signs and instructions.

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 Micro Systems 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

English

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.

TRUNKING

PASSPORT TRUNKING

PassPort is an enhanced, wide-area trunking

protocol developed by Trident Micro Systems.

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).

TRUNKING

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 CDM1550•LS+

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

on the display:

you see:

Note: Your radio sounds a “Low-High” tone

ROAM REQUEST

Because of the RSSI feature, the

CDM1550•LS+ 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. However, if you

believe the signal strength 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:

Emergency

MDC CALL 01

English

RADIO CALLS

• 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

the radio:

1. Keys the transmitter.

2. Acknowledges the command

3. Sends the PTT-ID

4. Activates the microphone.

Note: If a remote microphone is attached, it

responds.

Remote Monitor capability depends on which

of two modes are preprogrammed:

•Silent Mode – When the command is sent

in Silent Mode, and the receiving radio keys

and transmits for the time set by the Remote

Monitor Command, the receiving radio will

not generate an indicator of the event.

•Non-Silent Mode – When the command is

sent in Non-Silent Mode, and the receiving

radio keys and transmits for the time set by

English
