Setting up AUX SIREN tone
With AUX set to AUX SIREN , it is possible to select the AUX SIREN tone to one of the
available tones (WAIL, Hi-Lo, PHASER or YELP).
It is not possible to set the same tone for both SIREN and AUX SIREN , meaning that while
setting AUX SIREN , the SIREN tone in use will be unavailable; also, if the AUX SIREN tone
is selected for SIREN , AUX SIREN’s tone will automatically change.
1. Pull down and hold AUX (5 s) until the
siren sound briefly pauses. Release.
2. Pull down HORN repeatedly to
switch among the available tones.

Setting up AUX LOAD
With AUX set to AUX LOAD , it is possible to set AUX LOAD in a way that it gets activated
together with SIREN (for instance, that when SIREN sounds, a light set associated to AUX
LOAD turns on), in addition to the activation by pulling down AUX .
1. Pull down and hold AUX (5 s) until you
hear 1 beep. Release.
2. Pull down HORN to switch AUX LOAD mode.
Beeps once: it’s set to independent.

External Volume Auto-Adjustment (VAA)
In addition to the manual adjustment, the equipment is capable of detecting the vehicle’s
level of acoustic isolation and adjust the maximum external volume accordingly.
To perform this procedure, close all of the vehicle’s doors and windows, and follow the
steps explained below.
To cancel the procedure, pull down PTT.
1. Pull down and hold PPT .
Remain silent during the procedure.
2. While PTT is held down, pull down AUX .
Release both upon hearing a beep.
3. Wait up to 30 s, the equipment will
beep 2 times when VAA has fi nalized.

AUTOMATIC FEEDBACK CONTROL ( AFC )
If acoustic feedback would occur while PTT or INTER are on (caused, for instance, by the
opening of a door or window), the equipment will detect and automatically fi x the issue
by decreasing the volume. After the event takes place, the equipment will attempt to rise
the volume back to the level defi ned by the user, as long as AFC is not triggered again.
ENERGY SAVING FEATURES (Automatic Shut Down, ASD )
Partial Shut Down (PSD)
The equipment continuously tracks the incoming voltage status. If the incoming voltage
is below 12.6VDC, after 20 seconds of inactivity the equipment activates PSD mode. This
change is indicated by the turning off the switchbox lights. While on PSD mode, upon
pulling any switch the respective function will execute normally and the equipment will
return to normal energy consumption mode.
Total Shut Down (TSD)
If the incoming voltage is below 11.5 VDC, after 60 seconds the equipment will
automatically shut down any function and auxiliary load. While on TSD , upon pulling any
switch the lights will blink 3 times and the function controlled by the actuated switch will
not execute.
Once the equipment detects that the incoming voltage exceeds 12.5VDC again, the
equipment will return to its normal operation.
