NOTICE: Because Man Down may be triggered accidentally, consider the following scenarios
when using your radio:
• If the radio is programmed to a horizontal position only, it must be worn in a vertical position.
• If the radio is programmed with the Man Down feature, turn off the radio when charging it
with a wall-mounted charger.

Radio Alerts When Man Down is Triggered
When Man Down is triggered, your radio plays an alert tone and the display shows MAN-DOWN.
NOTICE: If the radio is programmed for Surveillance Mode, it inhibits all tones and lights
including the Man Down tones.
Man Down Enhanced
Your radio also supports Man Down Enhanced where it plays an alert tone for a preprogrammed
period. This tone is louder than the preprogrammed minimum level or the current level of the speaker
and it acts as a beacon that helps to find the radio.
NOTICE: The radio plays this alert tone even in Surveillance Mode.
When the alert tone is active, changing to another channel with a different setup triggers a different
response from the radio:
• The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel without Emergency feature.
• The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel with Emergency but no Man Down
feature.
• The current alert tone is inhibited and is replaced with a different alert tone when you change to a
channel with Emergency feature and a different Man Down configuration.
• The alert tone continues when you change to a channel with Emergency and similar Man Down
configuration.

Postrequisites: If Man Down is configured but the condition does not trigger the activation of the
feature, send the radio to a qualified technician.
