Safety Message to Operators of Warning Light Equipment
People’s lives depend on your safe use of our products. Listed below are some
important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:
• Do not attempt to activate or de-activate the light system control while driving in a
hazardous situation.
• Although your warning system is operating properly, it may not be completely
effective. People may not see or heed your warning signal. You must recognize
this fact and continue driving cautiously.
• Situations may occur which obstruct your warning signal when natural and man-
made objects are between your vehicle and others, such as raising your hood or
trunk lid. If these situations occur, be especially careful.
• The effectiveness of an interior mounted warning light depends on the clarity, the
tinting, and the angle of the glass it is being placed behind. Tinting, dirt, defects,
and steeply angled glass reduce the light output of the warning light. This may
reduce the effectiveness of the light as a warning signal. If your vehicle has dirty,
tinted, or steeply angled glass, use extra caution when driving your vehicle or
blocking the right of way with your vehicle.
• All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds that may cause, in certain
situations, permanent hearing loss. You and your passengers should consider
taking appropriate safety precautions, such as wearing hearing protection.
• In order to be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that
can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare
directly into this lighting product at a close range or permanent damage to your
eyesight may occur.
