Man Down

Man Down condition is determined based upon the radio tilt angle or a combination of radio tilt angle
and the lack of radio motion.
Man Down feature is an alternate way to activate the Emergency feature if Emergency has been
programmed in your radio.
NOTICE: This feature could be preprogrammed for all channels that support Emergency feature
or could be preprogrammed specifically to a zone and channel which has Emergency feature.
Consult your agent or qualified technician for more details.
Your radio automatically activates Emergency Alarm or Call when the radio achieves or passes a tilt
angle threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and radio motion below the motion sensitivity
level, depending upon how the radio is programmed. The radio must stay in this condition for a
preprogrammed amount of time before the Emergency Alarm or Call is activated.
NOTICE: It is recommended that an Emergency button is preprogrammed in order to allow the
user to exit the emergency condition.
The Man Down feature provides a Clear function to the user. After a Man Down condition has been
detected, the user can press a preprogrammed Clear button to cancel the Man Down condition. The
radio remains in the Man Down state without triggering an emergency condition until the radio is
moved out of the Man Down state, at which point Man Down functionality resumes.
The Man Down feature has three phases:
1 The radio senses the Man Down condition and Pre-Alert Timer is initiated.
2 Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Pre-Alert Timer field. At the end
of this time, the radio alerts the user on the Man Down status with an audible alert tone and MAN-
DOWN text on the screen. The Post-Alert Timer also initiates at this point.
3 Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Post-Alert Timer field. Once the
timer expires, the Emergency alarm is transmitted. The Man Down Clear function is used in this
phase to cancel the Man Down condition.
The following scenarios affect the timers:
• Pressing the PTT button suspends the Man Down timers; releasing the PTT button re-initiates the
Pre-Alert Timer.
• Pressing other buttons on the radio does not impact these timers.
• Repositioning the radio exits the Man Down feature, which stops and resets the timers.
