Using TPS Emergency Transmission

The following are two important alert tones designed for this feature.
Emergency Beacon
If you press the Emergency button during an emergency, the radio sounds a Beacon at maximum
volume using the radio internal speaker (not adjustable). When pressing the PTT button for voice
communication, the beacon is muted.
Emergency Call De-Key Sidetone
The radio sounds an alert tone to remind you that the Emergency Mode is still active after you
release the PTT button for an Emergency call transmission. The volume of loudness depends on
the maximum tone volume set in your radio profile.
Procedure:
1 Press the Emergency button to enter Emergency Mode.
The Emergency Beacon tone sounds.
2 Press PTT button to make an Emergency Call.
3 Release to listen.
The Emergency Call De-Key Sidetone sounds. After a short pause, the Emergency Beacon tone
sounds.
4 Press and hold the Emergency button to exit Emergency mode and cancel Emergency Beacon.

Man Down (Fall Alert)

Man Down (Fall Alert) is a supporting feature of the Emergency operation. The Emergency feature
must be programmed for Man Down (Fall Alert) to operate.
Your radio activates the Man Down (Fall Alert) feature when it achieves or exceeds a tilt angle
threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and radio motion below the motion sensitivity level.
The radio must stay in this condition for a programmed period before the Emergency Alarm or Call is
activated.
NOTE: Because Man Down (Fall Alert) may be triggered accidentally, consider the following
scenarios when using your radio:
• If the radio is programmed to a horizontal position only, it must be worn in a vertical position.
• If the radio is programmed with the Man Down (Fall Alert) feature, turn off the radio when
charging it with a wall-mounted charger.
• When you dismiss Man Down (Fall Alert) and keep the radio horizontal, no emergency will
be sent and no further Man Down (Fall Alert) notification will occur until the device is rotated
back to normal (portrait) mode.

Radio Alerts When Fall Alert is Triggered

When Fall Alert is triggered, your radio plays an alert tone, and the display shows Fall-Alert.
NOTE: If the radio is programmed for Surveillance Mode, the radio inhibits all tones and lights
including the Fall Alert tones.
