MAN BUTTON FUNCTIONS
HORN (Air Horn)
This momentary push button switch 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 or in high noise areas. This tone will override all
other siren tones.
HF (Hands Free):
Also known as Horn Ring Cycler, this mode allows the user to cycle through Wail,
Yelp, Phaser, and Standby by repeatedly pressing the vehicle’s horn or other switch
connected to the AUX input (Green wire). Changing to any other mode (WAIL,
YELP, PHSR, RADIO) resumes normal operation. Please note that this mode disables
the Manual (MAN) button when a Wail, Yelp, or Phaser tone is cycled to.
WAIL
A normal rise-fall tone used on highways and areas with low traffic or constant traffic
flow.
YELP
A rapid warble tone used in light to moderately congested areas.
PHSR (Phaser)
Ultra-fast warble one used for maximum attention in highly congested areas.
RADIO
Also known as Radio Repeat, this function amplifies a two-way radio speaker input
for re-broadcast outside the vehicle through the siren speaker(s). PA is available, but
no siren tones are available in this position
