Pre-Alert Tone |
(Emergency Wide, Man Down) |
Selects the type of alert tone that sounds once the Pre-Alert Timer has expired. The Pre-Alert Timer begins once the programmed Man Down condition(s) is met (see Man Down Trigger); once this timer period expires, this selected alert tone is sounded. 
This alert tone is also complimented visually with “Man Down” text appearing in the radio's display. 
These audible and visual alerts are intended to warn the radio-user that an Emergency Mode is about to be activated, therefore allowing the radio-user to bring the radio into a more vertical position and possibly avoid a false Emergency transmission. This selection applies for both Conventional and Trunking communications.

|
To ensure that the radio-user hears this tone even when the radio volume is low, it is recommended to increase the Minimum Volume setting or the Volume Offset (dB) setting. |
When the radio is model / option capable, and
when the Man Down Trigger field is not set to "Disabled".
