3.5 Using the Alert Tone
Press the ALERT TONE button (item 8 in Figure 6) to activate a pre-recorded alert sound. Press
once for activation, press again for deactivation. The pre-installed alert tone is an intense,
pulsating warning tone that is designed to be clearly heard at long distances.
It is recommended that the tone be used in 2-5 second bursts for maximum effectiveness when
hailing. Pressing the ALERT TONE button will interrupt playback of any other audio being
broadcast through the MP3 player.
Warning:
Avoid Exposure to Excessive Sound Levels.
The Alert Tone produces the loudest output from the LRAD-100X.
Qualified personnel must ensure the area in front of the LRAD-100X is
clear for 10 meters before activating the alert tone when the volume
control is in the RED zone of the PWR/VOL knob’s scale.
3.6 Aiming the LRAD-100X
The LRAD-100X is a highly directional audio device. The majority of the acoustic output power is
concentrated in a 30-degree cone in front of the device. This means that the sound directly in
front of the LRAD-100X is significantly louder than the sound behind and to the sides of the
device.
For optimal results, aim the device directly at the intended target.
