Vehicle Equipment Installation Instructions 

2  Safety Information 

We provide important safety information and 
warnings to assist you in understanding and 
avoiding potential harm to yourself, and possible 
damage to equipment, during the installation of 
3M™ Opticom™ GPS Priority Control System 
equipment.  Although we have included many 
potential hazards you may encounter during the 
installation of this equipment, we cannot predict all 
of the possible hazards and this list should not be a 
substitute for your judgment and experience. 

Please read, understand, and follow all safety 
information contained in these instructions 
before installing the system equipment.  Save this 
installation manual and keep it near the 
equipment. 

If you are unsure about any part of this installation 
or of the potential hazards discussed, please contact 
your supervisor immediately. 

2.1  Intended Use  

The system is intended to assist authorized priority 
vehicles through signalized intersections by providing 
temporary right-of-way through vehicle operator 
interface to the system and through the use of common 
traffic controller functions.  3M has not evaluated this 
product for use in any other application. 

2.2  Technical Support 

If you have questions about the system, its use, or 
operation, please contact your dealer or call the 3M 
Intelligent Transportation Systems Technical 
Service department at 1-800-258-4610. 

2.3  Safety Messages and Safety Labels 

We include safety messages and safety labels in this 
manual to help you protect your safety and the 
safety of others.  This section contains important 
information to help you recognize and understand 
these safety messages. 

Please read all messages before proceeding with the 
installation.

 

2.3.1  Safety Message Format 

Safety messages are designed to alert you to potential 
hazards that can cause personal injury to you or 
others.  They can also indicate the possibility of 
property damage. 

Each safety message box contains a safety alert symbol 

(

); one of three signal words:  WARNING, 

CAUTION, or IMPORTANT NOTE; and a safety 
message. 

The signal words and symbols, and their meanings, are 
shown below: 

  

WARNING

 

The safety message is in this box. 

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous 
situation, which, if not avoided, could result in 
death or serious injury.

 

  

CAUTION

 

The safety message is in this box. 

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous 
situation, which, if not avoided, may result in 
minor or moderate injury.

 

  

IMPORTANT NOTE

 

The safety message is in this box. 

IMPORTANT NOTE indicates a potentially 
hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may 
result in property damage.

 

In addition to the symbols and words explained above, 
each safety message identifies the hazard, describes 
what you can and should do to avoid the risk of 
exposure to the hazard, and tells the probable 
consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
