Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of
automotive electronics, systems and procedures.

Whelen Engineering recommends the use of waterproof butt splices and/or connectors if that
connector could be exposed to moisture.

If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle
components or other vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides
of the mounting surface before drilling begins. Also de-burr any holes and remove any metal
shards or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage holes.

Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag.

Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the
effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury
or death. Refer to your vehicle owner's manual for the air bag deployment area. The
User/Installer assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on
providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.

For this product to operate at optimum efficiency, a good electrical connection to chassis
ground must be made. The recommended procedure requires the product ground wire to be
connected directly to the NEGATIVE (-) battery post.

If this product uses a remote device to activate or control this product, make sure that this
control is located in an area that allows both the vehicle and the control to be operated safely
in any driving condition.

Do not attempt to activate or control this device in a hazardous driving situation.

This product contains either strobe light(s), halogen light(s), high-intensity LEDs or a
combination of these lights. Do not stare directly into these lights. Momentary blindness
and/or eye damage could result.

Use only soap and water to clean the outer lens. Use of other chemicals could result in
premature lens cracking (crazing) and discoloration. Lenses in this condition have
significantly reduced effectiveness and should be replaced immediately. Inspect and operate
this product regularly to confirm its proper operation and mounting condition. Do not use a
pressure washer to clean this product.
