Man Down

Man Down is a supporting feature of the Emergency operation. The Emergency feature must be
programmed for Man Down to operate.
Your radio activates the Man Down 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.
NOTICE: Because Man Down 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 feature, turn off the radio when charging it
with a wall-mounted charger.
• When you dismiss Man Down and keep the radio horizontal, no emergency will be sent and
no further Man Down notification will occur until the device is rotated back to normal
(portrait) mode.

Radio Alerts When Man Down is Triggered

including the Man Down tones.
