Silent Alarm
The silent alarm is intended for potentially hazardous environments and for situations where users do not
want people nearby to know that an alarm has been triggered, in order to not escalate the situation. Silent
alarms are not accompanied by signals or other indications, giving the possibility to send an alarm
unnoticed.

Man-Down and No-Movement Alarm
Man-down alarm: If the handset is tilted (by default 45°) from a vertical position for a predefined period of
time (by default 7 seconds), the Man-down alarm is triggered. The accuracy of the tilt is + or - 10 degrees.
No-movement alarm: If no movement is detected during a preset time (by default 30 seconds), the No-
movement alarm is triggered.
All the default values to trigger the alarms can be changed by an administrator in the WinPDM/
Device manager. Refer to the Configuration Manual, Ascom d83 DECT Handset, TD 93426EN.
When an alarm is triggered, the following occurs:
• A Man-down warning. Cancel? or No- movement warning. Cancel? dialog window is shown in the
display, and a warning tone is also signalling during a period (default 7 seconds) before the alarm is sent.
• To prevent the alarm from being sent and silencing the warning tone, do one of the following:
− Press any key/button. The alarm is reset.
− Put the handset in a vertical position if the "Reset the man-down warning automatically" parameter is
enabled by the Administrator.
− Put the handset in a charger. The alarm is temporarily disabled indicated by that the corresponding
alarm icon is hidden. The alarm is enabled when removing it from the charger.
− Press A Delay MD/NM detection? dialog window appears. Disable the alarm temporarily for a
specified time by pressing "Yes". When the alarm is temporarily disabled, the corresponding alarm
icon flashes.
It requires that the feature is enabled by an administrator in the WinPDM/Device manager,

• If no key/button is pressed during the warning tone, the alarm is sent. Depending on set parameters, a
beep/vibrator/LED signal confirms that the alarm has been sent.
• An acoustic location signal (ALS) may be activated after the alarm has been sent, or a call may be
established to a predefined number. See
after Alarm, page
49.
• Information about the handset's location may be sent along with the alarm, see

The Man-down alarm and No-movement alarm can temporarily be disabled during calls to avoid sending
false alarms when the user tilts the handset or does not move during the call. If the Man-down alarm and
No-movement alarm are disabled during calls, the corresponding icons are not displayed. Refer to the
Configuration Manual, Ascom d83 DECT Handset, TD 93426EN.
