Man Down
Man Down is a licensed customisable feature which uses motion sensors to
detect motion in three dimensions. When your radio is powered on it stores
it's current angle of inclination (orientation). If it moves more than a
customised angle from the original inclination or is stationary for more than a
customised length of time, the radio sounds an alarm and displays a ‘Man
Down Alarm’ message. In other words the radio can detect conditions
indicating that you have become incapacitated. If you do not respond to the
alert within a customised time period, your radio initiates a Man Down
Emergency and takes action depending on its customisation.
Warning:
Although Man Down is intended to increase the chances of
incapacitated users being detected, you should not regard it as a
substitute for compliance with appropriate risk assessment and other
safety procedures and practices. Do not entrust your safety to the Man
Down Alarm.
Warning:
Test the Man Down Alert and Alarm regularly to ensure
they are functioning correctly.
Warning:
Once started the Man Down Alarm sounds either until you
switch it off (see
) or until the
battery runs down. Ensure that the battery is charged regularly and
check that it has as much charge as possible before activating Man
Down.
Note:
Man Down is disabled if the radio is placed in a car kit or charger.
Note:
The Man Down feature may be customised so that you do not have
access to the following:
—the soft key On/Off toggle or a user profile to switch the feature on and
off;
—the Man Down screen to select the sensor or combination of sensors
used as described below.
