VOLUME CONTROLS 

 

Radio Repeat Volume 

The radio repeat volume is recessed on the 
front face of the amplifier next to the 
communication jack.  This should be set when 
the vehicle is parked.  First set the volume level 
of the vehicle’s two-way radio to its normal 
operating volume.  Adjust the siren’s rotary 
selector switch into the RADIO position.  Insert a 
small, flat blade screwdriver into the RADIO 
volume adjustment port.  Turn clockwise 
direction to increase the sound level. 

  

PA Volume 

The PA volume control is provided for public address volume.  This is 
located in the upper right hand corner of the control head.  It 
should be set when the vehicle is parked.  Set the PA volume to the 
maximum level with no feedback (squeal). 
 
 

AUXILIARY INPUT 

 

The auxiliary input may be connected to the vehicle horn ring or other switching 
device.  It provides the same operation as pressing the HORN button or can be 
programmed to function like the MAN button

.

 

 
 

PARK KILL CUT OUT 

 

During installation, the Park-Kill input may be connected to a door switch 

(see page 

2).  

It will automatically turn off any siren tone when the door is opened.  The siren 

tone will continue to be cut off even when the door is closed.  Changing any switch 
or input will restore normal function. 

(Operation CONT’D)

 

DETACHABLE MICROPHONE 

(SS741MGX only)

 

 

The microphone (P/N P30232-2) can be used for public address 
operation.  It will override any siren tone when its push-to-talk (button on 
the side) is pressed. 

 

Connect the microphone to the adapter 
harness (SWH-40).  Review the diagram below 
for proper pin layout.  Note the ridge in the 
connector.  

 

The white amp connector can then be 
attached to the corresponding 
connector on the amp.
