Man Down

Man Down condition is determined based upon the radio tilt
angle or a combination of radio tilt angle and the lack of radio
motion.
Man Down feature is an alternate way to activate the
Emergency feature if Emergency has been programmed in your
radio.
Your radio automatically activates Emergency Alarm or Call
when the radio achieves or passes a tilt angle threshold or a
combination of the angle threshold and radio motion below the
motion sensitivity level, depending upon how the radio is
programmed. The radio must stay in this condition for a
preprogrammed amount of time before the Emergency Alarm or
Call is activated.
Note: It is recommended that an Emergency button is
preprogrammed in order to allow the user to exit the
emergency condition.
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.
