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 proceed 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 vehicle. 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 operate 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 damage, including fire. Any electronic device may create or be affected by electromagnetic
interference. After installation of any electronic device operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of
interference. Never power emergency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding circuit with radio
communication equipment. All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and securely
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 dislodge 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.
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. PROPER
INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING DEVICES
IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.
