Your radio activates the Man Down (Fall Alert) 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.
NOTE: Because Man Down (Fall Alert) 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 (Fall Alert) feature, turn off the radio when charging it
with a wall-mounted charger.
● When you dismiss Man Down (Fall Alert) and keep the radio horizontal, no emergency will be sent
and no further Man Down (Fall Alert) notification will occur until the device is rotated back to normal
(portrait) mode.

Radio Alerts When Fall Alert is Triggered
When Fall Alert is triggered, your radio plays an alert tone, and the display shows Fall-Alert.
NOTE: If the radio is programmed for Surveillance Mode, the radio inhibits all tones and lights including
the Fall Alert tones.
Fall Alert Enhanced
Your radio also supports Fall Alert Enhanced where an alert tone is played for a programmed period. This
tone is louder than the programmed minimum level or the current level of the speaker. This tone acts as a
beacon to help find the radio.
NOTE: 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 Fall Alert 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 Fall Alert configuration.
● The alert tone continues when you change to a channel with Emergency and similar Fall Alert
configuration.
7.10.2
Testing Fall Alert
Prerequisites: Ensure that Fall Alert feature is configured in your radio.
Procedure:
1. Turn on the radio, and place it in a vertical position for at least 5 seconds.
2. Lay the radio down in a horizontal position.
Result:
The radio plays an alert tone and the display shows Man-Down.
Postrequisites: If Fall Alert is configured but the condition does not trigger the activation of the feature, send
the radio to a qualified technician.
