Safety Messages
Safety Messages to Operators of Federal Signal Sound/Light Systems
People’s lives depend on your safe operation of Federal Signal products. It is
important to read and follow all instructions shipped with the products. Listed below
are some other important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light system control while driving in a
hazardous situation.
• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely
effective. People may not see or heed your warning signal. You must recognize
this fact and continue to drive cautiously.
• Situations may occur that obstruct your warning signal when natural and
manmade objects are between your vehicle and others, such as raising your hood
or trunk lid. If these situations occur, be especially careful.
• All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds that may cause, in certain
situations, permanent hearing loss. You and your passengers should consider
taking appropriate safety precautions, such as wearing hearing protection.
• The effectiveness of an interior mounted warning light depends on the clarity, the
tinting, and the angle of the glass it is being placed behind. Tinting, dirt defects,
and steeply angled glass reduce the light output of the warning light. This may
reduce the effectiveness of the light as a warning signal. If your vehicle has dirty,
tinted, or steeply angled glass, use extra caution when driving your vehicle or
blocking the right of way with your vehicle.
• To be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can be
hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly
into this lighting product at a close range, or permanent damage to your eyesight
may occur.
• It is important that you fully understand how to safely operate this warning system
before use.
• Operate your vehicle and the light/sound system in accordance with your
department’s Standard Operating Procedures.
• If a selected function does not perform properly or if any of the lamps remain
illuminated when the control is off, disconnect the power connector from the control
unit and contact the nearest service center.
• At the start of your shift, ensure that the entire warning light system and the siren
system are securely attached and operating properly.
• Suction cup mounting is for temporary applications only. Window-mounted
warning lights should be removed from the window and stored securely when not
in use. Temperature changes and sunlight can cause suction cups to lose holding
power. Periodically check the unit to ensure that the suction cups have a firm grip
on the mounting surface. An improperly secured light could fall off of the vehicle,
causing injury and damage.
