MN009363A01-AD Radio Care
Chapter 1
Radio Care
Proper radio usage and care ensure efficient operation and long life of the
product. CAUTION: Use the radio according to the following recommendations and
warnings. · Your radio casing has a vent port for pressure equalization in the
radio. Never poke this vent with objects such as needles, tweezers, or
screwdrivers. Poking the vent could create leak paths into the radio and the
radio submergibility will be lost. · Never obstruct or cover the vent port,
even with a label. · Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the
vent port. · If water is observed on the vent port of radio casting, dry the
vent port. Otherwise, the water blocks the vent port and prevent pressure
equalizing and could affect the overall performance of the radio. · Your radio
is designed to be submerged to a maximum depth of 6 feet and maximum time of 2
hours. Exceeding either maximum limit may result in damage to the radio. · The
radio with antenna attached properly is submersible to a maximum depth of 2
meters (6.56 feet) and a maximum submersion time of 2 hours. Exceeding either
maximum limit or use without antenna may result in damage to the radio. · If
the radio battery contacts are exposed to water without the battery attached,
dry and clean the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the
radio. Turn the radio over with the battery contact facing down and shake the
radio so any trapped water can escape. A short circuit of the contacts could
occur if they are not dried properly. · If the radio has been submerged in
water, shake the radio to remove any water that is trapped inside the speaker
grille and microphone port. Otherwise, the water decreases the audio quality
of the radio. · If an accessory is not attached to the radio, ensure that the
accessory connector cover is attached to the radio side accessory connector. ·
If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high force water spray, such as from
a hose, remove the accessory or accessory connector cover immediately and
ensure that no water is forced into the accessory connector/radio interface.
Rinse and dry the area and re-attach the accessory or accessory connector
cover if leakage occurs. · If the radio is exposed to a corrosive environment,
such as salt water or corrosive gases or liquids, rinse and clean the radio
immediately to prevent damage to radio materials, especially plated surfaces.
Remove the battery and the antenna before cleaning. · Do not disassemble the
radio as you could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio.
Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio
technician. · Only Underwriter Laboratory (UL) approved service centers can
open and service UL certified radios. Opening or repairing at unauthorized
locations invalidates hazardous location rating of the radio. · Do not pound,
drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily. · When cleaning the radio, do not use
a high-pressure jet spray as this may exceed the depth pressure and cause
water to leak into the radio.

Cleaning Your Radio
CAUTION: Do not use solvents to clean your radio as most chemicals may
permanently damage the radio housing and textures. Do not submerge the radio

perform the following: Procedure: 1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing
detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution). 2 Apply the solution
sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, shortbristled brush, making sure that
excess detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls, or
crevices. 3 Rinse and then dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free
cloth. 4 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or
grease.
1.2

MN009363A01-AD Man Down (Fall Alert)
Chapter 11
Man Down (Fall Alert)
Man Down (Fall Alert) is a supporting feature of the Emergency operation. The
Emergency feature must be programmed for Man Down (Fall Alert) to operate.
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.
11.1
Radio Alerts When Man Down (Fall Alert) is Triggered
When Man Down (Fall Alert) is triggered, your radio plays an alert tone and
the display shows Man Down. If the radio is programmed for Surveillance Mode,
it inhibits all tones and lights including the Man Down (Fall Alert) tones.
Man Down (Fall Alert) Enhanced
Your radio also supports Man Down (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.
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 Man Down
(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 Man Down (Fall Alert)
configuration. · The alert tone continues when you change to a channel with
Emergency and similar Man Down
(Fall Alert) configuration.
11.2
Testing Man Down (Fall Alert)
Prerequisites: Ensure that Man Down (Fall Alert) feature is configured in your
radio.

MN009363A01-AD Location
Chapter 16
Location
The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in the radio integrates
information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the
approximate geographical location of your radio.
NOTE: The Location feature is addressed as Global Positioning System (GPS)
across the manual as the naming convention of the buttons and strings remain
the same as the legacy feature of GPS. The availability and accuracy of this
location information and the calculation duration can vary depending on the
environment in which you are using the GPS feature. For example, GPS location
fixes are difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high
buildings, or in situations where you have not established a clear broad view
of the sky. If adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your
GPS feature only provides an approximate location, usually within 10 meters
from your actual location, but sometimes farther away. Sometimes, the GPS
feature cannot complete a location calculation successfully. You will then see
a message indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible
satellites. To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, take
note of the following guidelines: · For your initial fix, hold the radio in
the face position. · Stay in the open as the GPS feature works best when there
is nothing between your radio and the open sky.
