INSTALLATION

Proper installation of the unit is essential for years of safe, reliable operation. Please read all instruction before installing the unit. Failure to follow these instructions can cause serious damage to the unit or vehicle and may void warranties.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

For the safety of the installer, vehicle operator, passengers and the community please observe the following safety precautions. Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, injury or death.

Qualifications - The installer must have a firm knowledge of basic electricity, vehicle electrical systems and emergency equipment.

Sound Hazard - Sound level from siren speaker (>120dBA @ 10 feet) may cause hearing damage. Do not operate siren without adequate hearing protection for you and anyone in immediate vicinity. (Ref. OSHA 1910.95 for occupational noise exposure guidelines)

Mounting - Mount the unit for easy access by the vehicle operator. DO NOT mount in air bag deployment area. Assure clearances before drilling in vehicle. To prevent internal damage mounting bolts must not enter case more than 1/4".

Wiring - Use wiring capable of handling the current required. Make sure all connections are tight. Route wiring to prevent wear, overheating and interference with air bag deployment. Install and check all wiring before connection to vehicle battery.

Testing - Test all siren functions after installation to assure proper operation. Test vehicle operation to assure no damage to vehicle.

Keep These Instructions - Keep these instructions in the vehicle or other safe place for future reference. Advise the vehicle operator of the location.

MOUNTING

The mounting bracket supplied can be installed above or below the unit. Choose a mounting location convenient to the operator and away from any air bag deployment areas. Inspect behind mounting area for clearance. Assure adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Consider wire routing and access to connections, as well as microphone bracket placement. Install mounting bracket to vehicle using 1/4" hardware (not supplied).

If mounting in a rack or console, make sure that mounting bolts do not enter case more than 1/4".

May need to set RADIO VOLUME ADJUST inside the unit before final mounting and installation

A microphone clip along with mounting screws (CP3633) holds the microphone in place.
