Man Down
Man Down is a supporting feature of the Emergency operation. The Emergency feature must be
programmed for Man Down to operate.
Your radio activates the Man Down feature when it achieves or exceeds a tilt angle threshold or a
combination of the angle threshold and radio motion below the motion sensitivity level. The radio must
stay in this condition for a programmed period before the Emergency Alarm or Call is activated.
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.
• When you dismiss Man Down and keep the radio horizontal, no emergency will be sent and
no further Man Down notification will occur until the device is rotated back to normal
(portrait) mode.

Radio Alerts When Man Down is Triggered
When Man Down is triggered, your radio plays an alert tone and the display shows Man Down
Detected.
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.
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.

Testing the Man Down Feature
Prerequisites: Ensure that Man Down is configured on your radio.
Procedure:
1 Turn on the radio and place it in a vertical position for at least five seconds.
