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
toensureoptimalperformance andcompliance
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
electromagneticcompatibility. Itmay 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.

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

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 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
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.
