RAD (Radio Repeat) - When the rotary knob is in the RAD

radio will be simultaneously broadcast over the vehicle’s
loudspeaker (the unit must be connected to the two-way radio as

position the siren is in a standby state where no tones have been
activated, but is waiting for another action to be taken by the
operator.

HF (Hands-Free Operation) - When the rotary knob is in the HF
position, the siren functions are placed in a standby mode. Siren
tones are activated by a single “tap” on the MAN button or on the
vehicle’s steering wheel horn ring (if the vehicle’s horn has been

wired to the HORN RING input). The first tap produces a “Wail”
tone (a steady rise and fall tone). A second tap produces a “Yelp”
tone (a fast rise and fall tone). A third tap produces a piercer tone
(an extremely fast rise and fall tone). The next tap returns the
siren to a wail tone and the cycle repeats itself. Two quick
successive taps will stop the siren.
