Operation 

Please note that for the SS741MG-TEC the 7-position knob functions are reversed. 

 

This unit is designed for easy operation under the stress associated with high-speed 
pursuit.  Most siren functions are accessible with one simple motion without repetitive 
activation of switches or automatic timed switching that can interfere with desired 
operation. 
 

Power 

 

In order for the siren to function, the power switch must 
be in the ON position.  When turned on, the siren may 
be activated at the operator’s discretion.  

General

 

Selector Switch 

 

The rotary selector switch controls the primary operating function of the siren. 

 

 

PHSR

 -  Ultra-fast changing tone used for maximum attention. 

 

 

YELP

 -  A rapidly changing tone used in congested areas. 

 

 

WAIL

 -  A slower changing tone used on highways. 

 

 

HF 

-  Hands Free - A silent standby mode also 

known as Horn Ring Cycler.  Allows the user 
to cycle through the tones programmed for 
the WAIL, YELP, PHSR, and OFF by repeatedly 
pressing the horn or other switch connected 
to the AUX input.  Changing the rotary knob 
to any other mode will resume normal siren 
operation.   

 

 

MAN

 -  A silent standby mode that allows push-button 

Manual, push-button Horn, and Public Address 
operation.  The siren output winds down when 
the MAN button is released. 

 

 

ALERT

 -  A silent standby mode that allows push-button Manual, push-button Horn 

and Public Address operation.  The siren output terminates immediately 
when the MAN button is released. 

 

 

RADIO

 -  Also known as Radio Repeat, this function amplifies a 

two-way

 radio 

speaker input for re-broadcast outside the vehicle through speaker #2.  
The PA remains functional, but no siren tones are available in this position.   

Please note that for the 

SS741MG-TEC the 7-position 

knob functions are reversed.
