Warning 

1.  The use of emergency warning devices does not ensure the safety of the operator. The operator is 

responsible to ensure safe operation of the vehicle regardless of whether the warning device is  in 

operation or not 

2.  The effectiveness of this or any warning device is highly dependent on proper installation and 

maintenance. Read the manufactures instructions before installing and follow all recommenda-

tions.  

3.  When in use the operator must ensure that the warning signal is visible and not obstructed by vehi-

cle components (i.e. open trunk lid), people or other obstructions 

4.  This device is intended for use by authorized personnel only.  It is the responsibility of the user to 

ensure that all local, state, provincial and federal laws are being complied with. D&R assumes no 

liability for any loss resulting from the use of this device.  

5.  The device must be installed so as not to reduce the output performance of vehicle systems.  
6.  Placement of control switches must be so as to provide convenient reach for the operator without 

loosing eye contact with the road. 

7.  Emergency warning devices require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Properly connect and 

ground all circuits. Shorting or improper grounding of this device may caused personal injuring, ve-

hicle damage and/or device damage. 

8.  All operators should be properly trained in the operation of this device to ensure both operator and 

public safety  

9.  Any device used inside a vehicle, may cause severe personal injury  if not properly mounted and 

secured. Objects used in the vehicle may become airborne during a collision or other sudden chang-

es in vehicle speed or direction, such as braking,  acceleration or turns.    

10. Be sure to mount unit through the steel of the vehicle. Avoid mounting through plastic or other non

-structural materials.  

11. POINT OF INSTALLATION MUST NOT INTERFERE WITH DEPLOYMENT OF VEHICLE AIR BAGS.  
12. D&R Electronics recommends that this and any of our other products be installed by qualified per-

sonnel. 

13. Good wiring practices and thorough knowledge of vehicle power systems is required by the installer 

of this and any other product. 

14. Looms, grommets, cable ties or other installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect 

wiring. 

15. All wire sizes must meet the minimum sizes specified by the manufacturer.  
16. Splices should be minimized and made in a fashion so as to protect from moisture which could 

cause corrosion thereby reducing conductivity.  

17. The exact number of available connections varies by application.  Refer to the specifications and 

typical output fusing combinations to ensure that the safety and reliability of this product is not 

compromised.
