Fall Alert (Man Down)
Fall Alert is a supporting feature of the Emergency operation. The Emergency feature must be
programmed for Fall Alert to operate.
Your radio activates the 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 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 Fall Alert feature, turn off the radio when charging it with
a wall-mounted charger.
• When you dismiss Fall Alert and keep the radio horizontal, no emergency will be sent and
no further Fall Alert notification will occur until the device is rotated back to normal (portrait)
mode.
15.1
Radio Alerts When Fall Alert is Triggered
When Fall Alert is triggered, your radio plays an alert tone and the display shows Fall-Alert.
Fall Alert Enhanced
Your radio also supports Fall Alert 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 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.
15.2
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.
The radio plays an alert tone and the display shows Fall Alert Detected.
