OPERATION

USING SWITCH PANEL

In an emergency situation, set the HORN SELECT switch to AIR and turn on the LITE switch in one sweeping motion. When the horn ring on the vehicle is pressed the amplifier and speaker produce a simulated air horn sound. An output indicator on the side of the amplifier also lights up. The output indicator is located opposite the end with connector.

When the emergency is over, turn off the LITE switch and set the HORN SELECT switch to VEH in one sweeping motion. When the horn ring is pressed the regular vehicle horn will sound.

NOT USING SWITCH PANEL

As soon as power is applied, the amplifier and speaker produce a simulated air horn sound and the output indicator lights up. The output indicator is located opposite the end with connector.
