WARNING!
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 second-
ary 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.
To enter into Programming Mode, follow the following instructions:
1. Move Level Switch to Level 0 (furthest to the left).
2. Turn all Auxiliary Switches o.
3. Move Rotary Knob to RAD (Radio).
4. Press and hold MAN (Manual) button for at least 2 seconds (at this point the Auxiliary Button backlighting indication will
turn RED) then release.
5. Immediately press, in order, Auxiliary Buttons A - B - C - F.
6. If entered correctly, the 3 level switch lights will be ashing and you are now in Programming mode, if you entered this
incorrectly, the siren will automatically return and you will need to start again at step 4.
