Testing The Man Down Feature; Exiting Man Down; Re-Initiating Man Down - Motorola APX 8000XE User Manual

Man Down Enhanced
Your radio also supports Man Down Enhanced where it plays an alert tone for a preprogrammed
period. This tone is louder than the preprogrammed minimum level or the current level of the speaker
and it acts as a beacon that helps to find the radio.
NOTICE: The radio plays this alert tone even in Surveillance Mode.
When the alert tone is active, changing to another channel with a different setup triggers a different
response from the radio:
• The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel without Emergency feature.
• The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel with Emergency but no Man Down
feature.
• The current alert tone is inhibited and is replaced with a different alert tone when you change to a
channel with Emergency feature and a different Man Down configuration.
• The alert tone continues when you change to a channel with Emergency and similar Man Down
configuration.
