3 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 re-initiates the
Pre-Alert Timer.
• Pressing other buttons on the radio does not
impact these timers.
• Repositioning the radio exits the Man Down
feature, which stops and resets the timers.
• Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button or
pressing a Menu Select button preprogrammed
for Clear stops and resets the timers. The timers
do not restart until the radio is repositioned.

Emergency must be set up for this feature to
operate. For details on operating the

If the radio is preprogrammed to horizontal
only, it must be worn in a vertical position
otherwise the Man Down alert may be
inadvertently triggered.
When the radio is programmed with Man
Down feature, special care is required when
charging the radio with a wall mounted
charger. See
Proper Ways to Handle the
Radio on page 87 for details.

it is in the horizontal position or motionless again.
