PRECAUTIONS

Use only in a 12-volt DC negative-ground electrical system.

When your vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight resulting in a considerable rise in the temperature inside, allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

Keep the volume at a level at which you can hear outside warning sounds (horns, sirens, etc.).
