Safety Messages
• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe tubes, LEDs, and
the outer housing, get hot during operation. Be sure to disconnect power to the
system and allow the system to cool down before handling any components of the
system.
• DO NOT mount a radio antenna within 18 inches of the lighting system. Placing
the antenna too close to the lighting system could cause the lighting system to
malfunction or be damaged by strong radio fields. Mounting the antenna too close
to the lighting system may also cause the radio noise emitted from the lighting
system to interfere with the reception of the radio transmitter and reduce radio
reception.
• DO NOT attempt to wash this or any other electrical device while it is connected
to its power source. Exposure to liquid while the product is connected to the
power source may result in an electrical shock and personal injury and may short
circuit and damage the product.
During Installation and Service
• DO NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings in the product
can cause the system to fail. If drilling must be done near the unit, place an ESD-
approved cover over the unit. Inspect the unit after mounting to ensure that there
are no shavings in or near the unit.
• To avoid a battery explosion, always disconnect the negative battery cable first
and reconnect it last. Avoid causing a spark when connecting near or to the
battery. The gases produced by a battery can cause a battery explosion that could
result in vehicle damage and serious injury.
• DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until ALL other electrical
connections are made, mounting of all components is complete, and you have
verified that no shorts exist. If the wiring is shorted to the vehicle body or frame,
high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks, resulting in electrical fires or
flying molten metal.
• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in cord) in the deployment
path of an airbag.
• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle manufacturer if the
seat needs to be recalibrated for proper airbag deployment.
• Before mounting any components, check the manual to verify that the
component you are installing is suitable for use in that area of the vehicle. Many
components are not suitable for use in the engine compartment or other extreme
environmental exposure areas.
• When drilling into a vehicle, ensure that both sides of the surface are clear of
anything that could be damaged. All drilled holes should be deburred, and all
sharp edges should be smoothed. All wires going through drilled holes should be
protected by a grommet or convolute/split-loom tubing. All exterior drilled holes
must be sealed with Motorcraft seam sealer T-A-2-B or equivalent to prevent the
potential exposure to carbon monoxide or other potentially harmful fumes. Failure
to observe this warning could cause serious injury or death.
• Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary, do not drive a
vehicle with a magnetically mounted warning light installed. The light could fly
off the vehicle, causing injury or damage. Repair of damage incurred because of
ignoring this warning shall be the sole responsibility of the user.
