Man down (MAN DOWN) - Menu Utilities 36
The Man Down function constantly monitors the radio status; if it is tipped on
its side for more than a pre-set time, this can indicate that a person may have
fallen.
This feature is using a tilt-sensor inside the radio which can detect and alarm
in case of accidental fall or sudden injury and is very useful in many situations,
especially if the user is alone or isolated.
When this function is activated, as soon as the radio is positioned in a die-
rent angle than usual, it will beep to warn other people tuned on the same
frequency.
In detail:
to prevent false alarms, at first CT990 will beep to warn the user that the alarm
signal will be sent if the radio won’t be positioned upright again within a few
seconds;
for the following 10 seconds the alarm will beep to alert other users that the
person is in trouble; then the radio will switch to rx mode again.
Enabling/disabling the feature:
in Standby mode press Menu Utilities + 36; the display will show “MAN
DOWN”.
Push Menu to enter the function. Select ON/OFF with the ▼/▲ keys or by
rotating the encoder.
Press Menu again to confirm the setting and then Back to return to standby
condition.
