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. In addition, listed below are some other important safety
instructions and precautions you should follow:
• Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the controls of the emergency warning system while driving
in a hazardous situation.
• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely effective. People
may not see, hear, or heed your warning signal. You must recognize this fact and continue driving
cautiously.
• Also, situations may occur which obstruct your warning signal when natural and man-made 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.
• In order 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.
