4.1 Installation Overview
This document provides the necessary information to safely, and properly install the
product. Before continuing with installation, be sure to read this manual completely. It
contains important information that could prevent damage to equipment or serious injury.
Sirens output audio at extremely loud amplitudes. Exposure to extreme
volume audio without adequate hearing protection can cause pain and/or
hearing loss. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration
organization (www.osha.gov) provides information to determine safe
exposure limits for work environments. Until you have determined the safe
exposure times for your specific application, anyone in the immediate
vicinity should be required to wear an approved hearing protection device.
Failure to comply with this warning could result in serious injury, damage
to or loss of hearing.
Caution
• The installation technician should have experience working with
automotive electronics and general knowledge of safety procedures
related to such systems.
• If a butt connector or splice may be exposed to moisture then waterproof
connectors must be utilized.
• Failure to follow the installation procedure will void the product warranty.
• If installation of this product requires holes to be drilled, the technician
must check both sides of the surface to be drilled to ensure there are no
sensitive vehicle components, electrical wires, or fluid lines near the
proposed drilling location. Holes and edges must have burs removed prior
to installation. If wire or cables are to be run through any drilled hole then
a grommet must be used for protection from sharp or rough surfaces.
• The product and associated wires, cables, or accessories must not be
installed in the deployment area of any vehicle air bags. Improper
installation may prevent proper functionality of the air bag deployment or
result in the product becoming a projectile. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in serious injury. The installation technician assumes full
responsibility in determining a safe mounting location. Refer to your
vehicle owner’s manual for the air bag deployment area.
