Important: Do not short circuit these 2 wires. Install the hailer horn in a forward-facing loca-
tion on the boat because the hailer horn will transmit the FOG horn sounds and will ‘listen
back’ when not transmitting.
Note: We recommend you use a hailer horn of 4 Ohms to obtain maximum 30 W audio
output power.
