•
Maximum sound output will be severely reduced if any objects are in front of the speaker. If your
installation has obstructions in front of the speaker, drive even more cautiously.
•
Frequently inspect the speaker to ensure that it is clear of any obstruction, such as mud or snow, which
will reduce maximum sound output.
Signaling Limitations
•
Be aware that the use of your visual and audible signaling devices does not give you the right to force
your way through traffic. Your emergency lights, siren, and actions are REQUESTING the right-of-way.
•
Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not alert everyone. People may not hear,
see, or heed your warning signal. You must recognize this fact and continue driving cautiously.
•
Situations may occur which obstruct your warning signal when natural or man-made objects are between
your vehicle and others. This can also occur when you raise your hood or trunk lid. If these situations
occur, be especially careful.
Driving Limitations
•
At the start of your shift, you should ensure that the light/sound system is securely attached to the
vehicle and operating properly.
•
If the unique combination of emergency vehicle equipment installed in your vehicle has resulted in
the siren controls being installed in a position that does not allow you to operate them by touch only,
OPERATE CONTROLS ONLY WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS STOPPED.
•
If driving conditions require your full attention, you should avoid operating the siren controls while the
vehicle is in motion.
Continuing Education
•
File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them periodically. Give a copy of these instructions to
new recruits and trainees.
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Testing the Installation
SOUND HAZARD—All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds (120 dB)
that may cause permanent hearing loss. Always minimize your exposure to the
sound of the siren and horn and wear hearing protection. Do not sound the siren
or horn indoors or in enclosed areas where you and others will be exposed to the
sound.
LIGHT HAZARD—To be an effective warning device, an emergency warning system
produces bright light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a
close range. Do not stare directly into the lights at a close range or permanent
damage to your eyesight may occur.
After testing the installation, test the emergency warning system to ensure that it is operating properly. Also
test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle safety functions, and vehicle lighting systems to
ensure proper operation. Ensure that the installation has not affected the vehicle operation or changed any
vehicle safety functions or circuits.
