Use of this product is not intended to, and does not, ensure that motorists or

strobe transmitter is within range as defined by that product. Please call local fire and
police departments to learn if coverage exists in your area.

Some states and municipalities prohibit mounting any object on your windshield. If you
drive in these states or areas; you can mount the MDU on the dash.

Security of Your Vehicle

Before leaving your vehicle, always remember to conceal your Remote Display Unit

profile from outside the vehicle.
