Holster Sensor

Holster sensor monitors the state of the holster and allows the radio to send an over-the-air (OTA)
notification whenever a gun or a taser is pulled out of the holster or put in the holster.
The sensor can cache events that happen when the sensor is disconnected from the radio. When the
sensor is reconnected, the radio evaluates and sends the important events OTA to the system. Check
with your system administrator for more information about these cached events.
If the sensor is disconnected from the radio for more than 30 minutes or it is disabled, the holster
sensor clears the cached events.

Weapon Fired Sensor

The feature allows the radio to send an over-the-air (OTA) notification when a weapon enabled with the
sensor is fired. The event is immediately sent to the system to alert the dispatcher of the weapon fired
incident.

Vest Pierced Sensor

a vest piercing event occurs. The event is immediately sent to the system to alert the dispatcher of the
vest pierced incident.
The receiving radio displays VPierced RCVD to indicate that the sender is in a Vest Pierced
Emergency event.
