The Toggle Dual Mode Switch gives the amplifier the ability to produce two different siren tones to each
speaker simultaneously. This changes some of the Rotary Function Switch modes and provides different Override
Functions. The Dual Mode Switch may be left on and use the Rotary Manual position as standby mode.
The Rotary Function Switch selects the following modes:
RADIO -
Same as normal mode. PA override available in this mode.
TWO-TONE -
Or HI-LO, a common European tone. Both speakers produce same sound. Horn and PA
Override available in this mode.
MAN -
In dual mode this is also considered standby mode. The siren tone is controlled manually with
SIREN button. Both speakers produce manual tone slightly out of phase to give stereo effect.
PA Override available in this mode.

The siren produces dual Wail. Each speaker produces independent Wail tone. Dual Yelp
and PA Override available in this mode.

The siren produces dual Yelp. Each speaker produces independent Yelp tone. Phaser and
