Motorola APX 6000XE User Manual page 103

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 or
preprogrammed Menu Select 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.
• Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button or pressing a
Menu Select button preprogrammed for Clear stops
and resets the timers. The timers do not restart until the
radio is repositioned.
