2.
Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Exercise caution when working with live electrical
connections.

5.
Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of an air bag. Equipment mounted or located in an air bag
deployment area may reduce the effectiveness of the air bag or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death.
Refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the air bag deployment area. It is the responsibility of the user/operator to determine a suitable
mounting location ensuring the safety of all passengers inside the vehicle particularly avoiding areas of potential head impact.

Installation and Operation Instructions
Low Frequency Speaker with Amplifier
WARNING!
Sirens produce loud sounds that may damage hearing.
• Wear hearing protection when testing
• Use siren only for emergency response
• Roll up windows when siren is operating
• Avoid exposure to the siren sound outside of vehicle
IMPORTANT WARNINGS TO USERS OF SIRENS: "Wail"
and "Yelp" tones are in some cases (such as the state of
California) the only recognized siren tones for calling for the
right of way. Ancillary tones such as "Air Horn", "Hi-Lo", "Hyper-
Yelp", and "Hyper-Lo" in some cases do not provide as high a
sound pressure level. It is recommended that these tones be used
in a secondary mode to alert motorists to the presence of multiple
emergency vehicles or to the momentary shift from the primary
tone as an indication of the imminent presence of any emergency
vehicle.
