Beacon Feature
The Beacon feature is part of Connect Plus Man Down,
a purchasable feature. Your dealer or Radio System
Administrator can tell you if the Beacon feature applies to
your radio.
If your radio has been enabled and programmed for one or
more of the Man Down Alarms, it can also be enabled for
the Beacon feature.
If your radio automatically starts an Emergency Call or
Emergency Alert due to one of the Man Down Alarms,
and if your radio is also enabled for the Beacon feature,
the radio starts to periodically emit a high pitched tone
approximately once every ten seconds. The interval can
vary depending on whether you are talking on your radio.
The purpose of the Beacon tone is to help searchers locate
you. If your radio has also been enabled for the “Visual
Beacon”, the radio’s backlight comes on for a few seconds
every time the Beacon tone plays.
You can stop your radio from playing the Beacon tone
by using a programmable button, if your radio has been
configured in this manner. This is discussed in the next
two sections. If your radio does not have the programmable
button or menu option, you can stop the Beacon tone by
turning the radio off and then on again, or by changing to a
different zone (if your radio has been programmed for more
than one zone).

Beacon On, your radio plays a tone that rises in pitch
and shows a brief confirmation message.
• When using the programmable button to toggle the
Beacon Off, your radio plays a tone that falls in pitch
and shows a brief confirmation message.
In order to hear the tones described above when turning
the Beacon On and Off, the MOTOTRBO radio and
Connect Plus Option Board must both be enabled for
keypad tones. If your radio has been programmed so that
