Your radio automatically activates Emergency Alarm or Call when your radio achieves or passes a tilt angle threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and your radio motion is below the motion sensitivity level, depending upon how your radio is programmed. Your radio must stay in this condition for a preprogrammed amount of time before the Emergency Alarm or Call is activated.Note: It is recommended that an Emergency button is preprogrammed in order to allow you to exit the emergency condition.The Man Down feature provides a Clear function to you. After a Man Down condition has been detected, you can press a preprogrammed Clear button to cancel the Man Down condition. Your radio remains in the Man Down state without triggering an emergency condition until your radio is moved out of the Man Down state, at which point Man Down functionality resumes.The Man Down feature has three phases: iYour radio senses the Man Down condition and Pre-Alert Timer is initiated. ii Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Pre-Alert Timer field. At the end of this time, your radio alerts you on the Man Down status with an audible alert tone and Man Down text on the screen. The Post-Alert Timer also initiates at this point.iii Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Post-Alert Timer field. Once the timer expires, the Emergency alarm is transmitted. The Man Down Clear function is used in this phase to cancel the Man Down condition.The following scenarios affect the timers:•Pressing the PTT button suspends the Man Down timers; releasing the PTT button reinitiates the Pre-Alert Timer. •Pressing other buttons on your radio does not impact these timers.•Repositioning your radio exits the Man Down feature, which stops and resets the timers.•Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button to stops and resets the timers.

For covert operation, the LEDs can be preprogrammed to turn off with specific zones or channels. It is hence recommended to add key words like Lights off or Lights on to the zone or channel Voice Announcements.No LED feedback upon turning on your radio via on/off switchFirst, check your battery by docking it into the charger. If the battery is good, it might be the reason that the radio was turned off at a preprogrammed zone/channel which the LED lights would not be shown for covert operation. Change to a zone/channel that LED lights are enabled. Meanwhile, ensure you connect an audio accessory to hear the audio alerts or transmission.Cannot connect with the Bluetooth accessoryCheck the accessory battery and ensure the battery is still good. Also check the accessory device is in the pairing mode.Note: No LED indication occurs when your radio receives a clear (non-secured) transmission in trunking Mode.APX_3000_M1.book Page 63 Tuesday, June 4, 2013 5:17 PM
Helpful TipsEnglish64 Caring for Your Radio•The radio casting has a vent port that allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could create leak paths into the radio and the radio’s submergibility will be lost. !Vent Port•The radio is designed to be submerged to a maximum depth of 1 meter, with a maximum submersion time of 30 minutes. Exceeding either maximum limit may result in damage to the radio.•If the radio battery contact area has been submerged in water, dry and clean the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit the radio.•If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio well so that any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will decrease the audio quality of the radio.•Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician.!APX_3000_M1.book Page 64 Tuesday, June 4, 2013 5:17 PM
