Using Magnetic or Magnetic/Suction Mounting
DO NOT DRIVE WITH MAGNETICALLY-MOUNTED WARNING LIGHT INSTALLED
Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary, do not drive a vehicle with a
magnetically mounted warning light installed. The light could fly off the vehicle causing injury or
damage. Repair of damage incurred because of ignoring this warning shall be the sole responsibility
of the user.
PROPER MAGNETIC MOUNTING
The holding power of magnetic mounting systems is dependent upon surface finish, surface flatness,
and thickness of the steel mounting surface. Therefore, to promote proper magnetic mounting:
• The mounting surface and magnets must be kept clean, dry, and free of foreign particles that
prevent good surface contact.
• Ensure that the mounting surface is flat.
• A magnet mounting system should not be used on vehicles with vinyl tops.
• To prevent sliding of the lightbar on the mounting surface, quick acceleration and hard stops
should be avoided.
1. Place the lightbar assembly on the vehicle roof at a location that provides maximum signaling
effectiveness for your application.
2. For models with suction cups, release trapped air by applying downward pressure to the top of the
dome while pulling up on the release tabs.
3. To operate the magnet-mounted lightbar assembly, insert the plug at the end of the cable assembly in
the cigarette lighter socket. Turn the unit on and off using the power switch on the plug. To show that
the power is on, a pilot light turns on.
4. To remove models with suction cups, pull up on the release tabs while picking up the lightbar.
Selecting a Flash Pattern
You can change the configured flash pattern in one of two ways:
• By displaying a pattern by jumpering the programming pins beneath the wire-access cover
• By displaying a pattern by holding a strong magnet over the Hall-effect switch in the access hole in
the dome
