The use of this or any warning device does not ensure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency
warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can proceed safely
before entering an intersection, driving against traffic, responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or around
traffic lanes. The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring. Read
and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device. The vehicle operator should insure
daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should insure the projection of the
warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or
other obstructions. This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to
understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should check all applicable city, state
and federal laws and regulations. Code 3, Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning
device. Proper installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency
vehicle. It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and physiological
stress caused by the emergency situation. The warning device should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not
reduce the output performance of the system, B) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that he
can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway. Emergency warning devices often require high
electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or
shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle
damage, including fire. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect the way equipment should be mounted. This
device should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones specified by the vehicle manufacturer, if any.
Any device mounted in the deployment area of an air bag will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag and
may damage or dislodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its mounting hardware and electrical supply
wiring does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors. Mounting the unit inside the vehicle by a method
other than permanent installation is not recommended as unit may become dislodged during swerving, sudden braking
or collision. Failure to follow instructions can result in personal injury. PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH
OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE
THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
WARNING!
Any electronic device may create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. After installation of any electronic
device operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of interference. Never power emergency
warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding circuit with radio communication equipment.
All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and securely fastened to vehicle
elements of sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied to the device.
