Radio Alerts When Man Down Feature is Triggered
The Man Down alert tone volume is directly related to
the radio speaker volume. Ensure that the radio
speaker volume is loud enough so that the user does
not miss the Post-Alert tone.
Note
If the radio is programmed with Silent
Emergency, the radio inhibits the alert tone
and visual alert associated with the
emergency feature.
If the radio is programmed in Surveillance
Mode, the radio inhibits all tones and lights on
the radio including the Man Down tones.
Triggering Emergency
When the user does not clear the Man Down
condition and the Post-Alert Timer comes to an end,
Emergency Alarm or call is triggered. The radio sends
emergency message to units within the same
Talkgroup. The radio also sends ID number and GPS
coordinates to dispatcher if these features are
enabled. User can exit Emergency following the
Emergency procedure. See Emergency Operation on
page 49 for details.
Note
At this point the Man Down features is
complete. Use normal Emergency procedures
to cancel Emergency transmissions.
Radio Alerts When Man Down Enhanced is Triggered
Note
This feature is to be preprogrammed
specifically to a zone and channel which
supports Emergency feature.
The volume and repetition duration of Man
Down Enhanced alert tone could be
customized and preprogrammed to suite the
required situation.
Consult your agent or qualified technician for
more details.
When the radio initiates Man Down Enhanced, you
hear the Critical Man Down Continuous alert tone
from the radio speaker. The volume of this tone is set
to the louder of the preprogrammed minimum level or
the current radio speaker level. This acts as a beacon
to find the radio.
