2.15 GENERAL OPERATION
Switch on the transceiver as described in 2.3. Select the desired band by pressing the
BAND key. Select the TDFM-7000 on the aircraft audio panel. Press the knob again so that
CHAN shows up on the top right of the display. Rotate the knob until the desired channel or
talk group is selected. Press the knob until VOL is again shown on the display. You can
adjust the volume by waiting until a signal is received or by pressing F1 (factory
programmed for monitor function) and adjusting the rotary knob. The radio is ready to use.
If the radio is installed in separate mode, remember that the band selected by pressing the
BAND key is what menu is displayed on the screen but the band selected by the audio panel
is band that you are actually transmitting and receiving on. To use the DTMF keypad while
transmitting, the band you are using must be selected on the display.
2.16 CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE (CPS™)
Programming the TDFM 7000 is usually done with the use of third party programming
software. Customer programming software or “CPS” must be supplied by Motorola.
There are 2 different software packages that can be used to program the TDFM 7000. The
software package required depends what type of modules are installed. Most TDFM 7000
radios are built with TYPE II modules. These radios can be identified by the P/N 051240-[3]
or –[4]. For TDFM 7000s built with TYPE I modules (P/N 051240-[1] or –[2]) see the
section on TYPE I programming.
To make any changes to the programming in the Type II radio, Motorola CPS™ software
must be used. There is no provision in the TYPE II radio to allow the user to change
frequencies, zones, PL tones etc. unless the Front Panel Programming (FPP) option has been
purchased in each band. CPS™ software must be purchased from Motorola directly.
A Programming cable is required to connect the computer to the TDFM-7000 if type II
modules are installed. Each band in the TDFM-7000 is considered a type II (XTS-5000)
portable by the CPS™ software. To program a band in the transceiver, it must be selected
by pressing the BAND key before running the CPS™. Follow the instructions supplied with
the CPS™.
The CPS Programming software must be purchased from Motorola On Line (MOL).
For instructions on ordering Motorola parts and CPS software see TIB TIBFM 12-01 REV E.

Follow the link for TDFM 7000 and click in the Link for “CPS Programming software/Cables
ordering Guide”. Refer to the section for TYPE II modules.
Programming cables for units with Type II modules
The TDFM-7000 transceiver that employs type II modules does not require a Smart RIB box,
AC power pack or computer RIB cable. A Technisonic programming cable, and Motorola
“ASTRO 25 Portable CPS” Programming software, P/N RVN4181 (Latest revision) is all that
is required to program transceivers with type II modules.
If encryption keys need to be loaded via a KVL-3000+, keyloader cable P/N 037348-1 may
be also be obtained from Technisonic. This keyloader cable will plug into the front mini DIN
connector of the TDFM-7000 transceiver and work with type I or type II modules.
