SAFETY
ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (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 procedures need to be followed to eliminate
or mitigate the potential for interaction
between the radio transmitter and the
equipment or device.
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.
10
English
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
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
radios in the area where you drive. Always
obey them.
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.
When using your radio while driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving and to the
road.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
WARNING
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 mobile radio is
placed 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.
SAFETY
• Pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions
so require.
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.
For radios installed in vehicles fuelled by
liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the (U.S.)

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
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
INTRODUCTION
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

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.

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
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:
1 Upon radio Power up, you see:
(if you select a PassPort zone after the
radio is powered up, see step 2).
PASSPORT

appears on the display.
YOUR ZONE ALIAS
3 The selected Talkgroup Alias appears
on the display.
TLKGRP ALIAS
PASSPORT
TRUNKING
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.
39
English
Note: If the radio performs a more
extensive frequency search in order to
attempt successful registration, you may see
on the display:
SEARCHING
4 Upon successful PassPort Registration,
you see:
REG SITE XXX
Note: Your radio sounds a “Low-High” tone
upon successful PassPort System registration. The XXX number indicates the site within
the PassPort system on which you have registered.
TLKGRP ALIAS
PASSPORT
TRUNKING
After successfully registering at a site,
the selected PassPort talkgroup alias
appears and remains 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 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:
1 When the radio is searching for a new
site or attempting successful registration
to a site, you see on the display:
SEARCHING
Note: This message is displayed until successful registration.
2 When the radio has successfully registered to the new PassPort System, XXX

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.

SENDING A REMOTE MONITOR
The Remote Monitor gives the ability to
activate the transmit circuit of your radio – both

Upon receiving a Remote Monitor Command,
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
The amount of time that the radio remains in
receive mode or in transmit mode is set by the
Remote Monitor Command and the time
settings in the radio. When in this state,
touching any button on the radio takes it out of
the Remote Monitor mode. See your dealer for
more details.
Note: When your radio has been disabled by the
