SAFETY MESSAGE TO PERSONNEL SERVICING FEDERAL SIGNAL ELECTRONIC SIRENS
The lives of people depend on your
proper servicing of Federal products. It
is important to read and follow all in-
structions shipped with the products. In
addition, listed below are some other
safety instructions and precautions you
should follow:
• Read and understand all instructions in
this manual before servicing the elec-
tronic siren or speaker.
• To properly service an electronic siren or
speaker: you must have a good under-
standing of automotive electrical proce-
dures and systems, along with proficiency
in the installation and service of safety
warning equipment. Always refer to the
vehicle's service manuals when perform-
ing service on a vehicle.
• Electronic circuit and speaker repairs
must be performed by a qualified and
competent electronic technician.
• Your hearing and the hearing of others, in
or close to your emergency vehicle, could
be damaged by loud sounds. This can
occur from short exposures to very loud
sounds, or from longer exposures to
moderately loud sounds. For hearing
conservation guidance, refer to federal,
state, or local recommendations. OSHA
Standard 1910.95 offers guidance on
"Permissible Noise Exposure."
• All effective sirens and horns produce
loud sounds (120 dB) that may cause
permanent hearing loss. Always mini-
mize your exposure to siren sound and
wear hearing protection. Do not sound
the siren indoors or in enclosed areas
where you and others will be exposed to
the sound.

instructions may result in property damage,
serious injury, or death to you or others.
• DO NOT connect this system to the
positive terminal of the battery until
servicing is complete, and you have
verified that there are no short circuits to
ground.
• In order for the electronic siren to func-
tion properly, the ground connection must
be made to the NEGATIVE battery
terminal.
• After repair, test the electronic siren and
speaker system to ensure that it is
operating properly.
• Federal Signal siren amplifiers and
speakers are designed to work together as
a system. Combining a siren and speaker
from different manufacturers may reduce
the warning effectiveness of the siren
system and may damage the components.
You should verify or test your combina-
tion to make sure the system works
together properly and meets both federal,
state and local standards or guidelines.
