Man Down†‡
Man Down condition is determined based upon your 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 your radio achieves or passes a tilt angle threshold or a
combination of the angle threshold and your radio motion is
below the motion sensitivity level, depending upon how your
radio is programmed. Your 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 you to exit the
emergency condition.
The Man Down feature provides a Clear function to you. After a
Man Down condition has been detected, you can press a
preprogrammed Clear button to cancel the Man Down
condition. Your radio remains in the Man Down state without
triggering an emergency condition until your radio is moved out
of the Man Down state, at which point Man Down functionality
resumes.
The Man Down feature has three phases:
i Your radio senses the Man Down condition and Pre-Alert
Timer is initiated.
ii Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined
in the Pre-Alert Timer field. At the end of this time, your
radio alerts you 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.
iii 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 reinitiates the Pre-Alert Timer.
• Pressing other buttons on your radio does not impact these
timers.
• Repositioning your radio exits the Man Down feature, which
stops and resets the timers.
• Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button to stops and resets
the timers. The timers do not restart until your radio is
repositioned.
