Code 3 DashLaser - Manual (Page 3)

All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and se-
curely fastened to vehicle elements of sufficient strength to withstand the forces applied to the
device. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect the way equipment should be
mounted. This device should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones
specified by the vehicle manufacturer, if any. Any device mounted in the deployment area of
an air bag will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag and may damage or dis-
lodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its mounting hardware and electrical supply wiring
does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors. Front or rear grille/bumper placement must
avoid interference with SRS sensors. Mounting the unit inside the vehicle by a method other than permanent
installation is not recommended as unit may become dislodged during swerving, sudden braking or collision.
Failure to follow instructions can result in personal injury.
CAUTION: The magnet on the DashLaser is powerful and very reliable
except under extremely rough driving conditions, such as off-road and
4x4 use. When such rough conditions are anticipated, the DashLaser
should be removed temporarily or permanently mounted.
Random or careless placement in or on the vehicle may not produce a
safe in-motion warning signal. There is always great risk in breaking an
intersection or driving in the oncoming lane of traffic. A poorly aimed
warning light is very likely to lead to an accident.
To achieve the best signal, the DashLaser must be mounted level and
unobstructed. "Blind spots" can be caused by door posts, an open trunk
or hood, a passenger, the blinder, or vehicle operator. A full 360° signal
can only be achieved when the DashLaser is mounted externally on the
vehicle without the blinder.

WARNING!
1) Rust Stains: The magnetic mount is not intended as a permanent mounting for the
beacon. Long duration usage of any magnet will expose the high iron content of the steel as
rust. The device should be removed when not used to prevent rust stains. Metallic debris
collected by the magnet will also contribute to rust stains. Insure that the magnet is kept
clean.
2) Surface rust stains can usually be removed with chrome polish, available at most auto
part stores.
3) As with any magnetically-mounted warning device, its use on the exterior of a moving
vehicle is at the sole discretion and responsibility of the user.
This magnetic mount product provides a secure, temporary installation in most circum-
stances and is recommended for stationary use only. For maximum warning signal, mount
the beacon on the highest possible flat, level surface of the vehicle.
Magnetic Mounting
Notice: This device is only useful as an SAE Class 1 warning device when mounted properly.
Operation
The DashLaser ® is designed to operate on a 12-volt DC system, with a 7-15 amp
fuse.
To operate your DashLaser, just plug it into a cigarette lighter, rotate and push
with reasonable, moderate force which insures the best possible connec-
tion. It should be very bright and rotating at 90-110 rpm. If it is not,
check the troubleshooting guide on page 9 for appropriate
action.
To remove the blinder, pull either side away from the lens
dome. The blinder will not release if you pull back on it. To
replace, line up the bottom of the blinder with the bottom of
the dome and gently push until it snaps into place. The
blinder will only fit on the sloped (motor) side of the dome.
The additional snap notches are there for accessories.
