IMPORTANT
Since many Ready for the Road features are programmable, operation is described
for the "standard" program. Refer to the supplied Operation and Configuration
section of this manual for additional discussion of the "standard" program. It is the
operator's responsibility to understand how his particular unit is configured
(programmed) to operate.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Ready for the Road Key Pad is designed to assist the operator's selection of
functions. Each control head switch is recessed and aids guiding the operator's fin-
ger to the switch's center for activation. When a switch is pressed, "tactile feed-
back" provides function selection indication as follows: a click is felt, a beep is
heard, and the selected function's key illuminates brightly.
CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
The Ready for the Road System is an extremely versatile and configurable elec-
tronic siren and light control system. Available siren tones are: wail, yelp, priority,
hi-lo, and an air horn sound. Horn ring control of siren tones is provided. Public
address and radio rebroadcast are available. Eight relay outputs are available for
controlling light bars, other auxiliary lights, and accessories.
For operations and configuration instructions, refer to the corresponding section of
this manual.
**WARNING**
Property damage, serious injury, or death to you or others may result if the Ready
for the Road system is improperly programmed.
Programming, if desired by the Police Agency, is to be performed at the time of
installation. It is NOT intended for operators to "customize" the unit's operation for
their individual preferences. It is the Police Agencies responsibility to determine
compatibility, suitability, and ensure proper programming of the Ready for the Road
System.
The person responsible for programming MUST be familiar with local codes and
procedures for safe emergency vehicle siren and light operation.
