OPERATION GENERAL This unit is designed for easy operation under the stress associated with high-speed pursuit. Most siren functions are accessible with one simple motion without repetitive activation of switches or automatic timed switching that can interfere with desired operation. POWER In order for the siren to function, the power switch must be in the ON position.
SELECTOR SWITCH The rotary selector switch controls the primary operating function of the siren. Phaser - (PSHR)- Ultra-fast changing tone used for maximum attention. Yelp - A rapidly changing tone used in congested areas. Wail - A slower changing tone used on highways. Hands Free - (HF) - Also known as Horn Ring Cycler, allows the user to cycle through Wail, Yelp, and Phaser by repeatedly pressing the horn or other switch connected to the AUX input.
This momentary push-button switch provides a generally quicker changing tone when the selector switch is in the Wail, Yelp, or Phaser positions. (See table below). These quicker tones are used at intersections and very highly congested areas. Pressing the button once changes to the next faster tone and pressing again changes the tone back to the original sound.
VOLUME CONTROLS The radio repeat volume control is recessed in the upper left hand corner of the front face. This should be set when the vehicle is parked. First set the volume level of the vehicle's two-way radio to its normal operating volume.
SERVICE This unit is designed to provide years of reliable service under even the worst conditions. Many times there may appear to be a problem with the unit when the true problem is in the speaker(s) or improper installation. The following chart shows typical symptoms and possible causes.
