WARNING: The use of this or any warning device does not ensure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an
emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can pro-
ceed safely before entering an intersection, driving against traffic, responding at a high rate of speed, or walking on or
around traffic lanes. The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct mounting and wiring.
Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device. The vehicle operator should
insure daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should insure the projection of
the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles, or
other obstructions. This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to
understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning devices. The user should check all applicable city, state
and federal laws and regulations. Code 3, Inc., assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning
device. Proper installation is vital to the performance of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency ve-
hicle. It is important to recognize that the operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and physiological
stress caused by the emergency situation. The warning device should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce
the output performance of the system, B) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that he can op-
erate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway. Emergency warning devices often require high electrical
voltages and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting
of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle dam-
age, including fire. PROPER INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMER-
GENCY WARNING DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
