Radio Rebroadcast (RRB) - Radio ReBroadcast over siren

loading of the radio. The audio from the radio is rebroadcast
over the siren speakers. The siren tones do not operate when this is activated. All other control functions operate normally. To connect in the signal
to be broadcast, simply connect the two signal lines to the RRB1 and RRB2 inputs of the Amplifi er (polarity is not an issue). The default setting of
the Z3 Siren has this option turned off. See the Z3 Software User Manual for confi guring one of the Auxiliary push-buttons for activating this feature.

save the settings. There is also a time-out that will save the settings before exiting as well. The RRB feature will automatically shutoff to protect from
overheating of the Z3 Siren.
