for the next function: 

 

(

WAIL

YELP

PHSR

Phaser Step Up

 

These quicker tones are used to momentarily alert motorists at 
intersections and very highly congested areas.  Pressing the 
MAN button once changes to the next faster tone.  Pressing the 
MAN button again, reverts the siren back to the original tone. 

 
Optional configuration allows the replacement of the Phaser tone with Two-Tone, or 
the disabling the Phaser tone entirely.  These options are selected during installation 
and may be governed by State or Local laws.  (Refer to the INSTALLER SELECTABLE 
OPTIONS section on page 4).  
 
 

HORN Button

 

 

Pressing the HORN button provides a simulated air-horn tone while pressed.  This can 
be used to either replace or to supplement the normal vehicle horn and is useful at 
intersections.  This tone will override all other siren tones.

.

 

The front panel  contains two momentary push-button switches for the Manual 
function and the Air Horn.
