LRAD-100X
GENASYS INC.
Manual Part No.: 106457-00 Rev E

4.0 Operation: Hailing and Warning
The LRAD-100X’s exceptional sound output and directionality can be used to hail, warn, and
notify clearly and intelligibly at distances up to 600 meters. Aim the LRAD-100X at your target
and broadcast sound from an audio file on the MP3 player, or speak directly to your target
using the handheld microphone. You can also attach an external audio device to the MP3 player
and use this device to playback and broadcast audio.
Warning:
Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Excessive Sound Levels.
Operator Hearing Protection is Required.
The LRAD-100X can produce acoustic sound pressure levels that OSHA
considers hazardous. As with any high-energy acoustic device, proper usage
of earplugs will minimize risk of hearing loss to the operator and personnel in
the immediate vicinity. Hearing protection is required when operating the
device at maximum volume from less than one meter away.
Warning:
Aim the LRAD-100X with Extreme Care.
Qualified LRAD-100X operators must ensure the device is positioned, aimed, and
operated in a manner that avoids exposing nearby personnel and bystanders to
excessive sound pressure levels. Follow these guidelines in conjunction with sound
judgment:
•
Never operate the LRAD-100X at maximum volume when personnel are within
10 meters of the front of the device, or when the reflected distance between
personnel and an acoustically reflective object (i.e., a building, a wall, or a
bulkhead) is less than 10 meters.
•
Never point LRAD-100X directly at personnel in the immediate vicinity of its
operating position.
•
Note that the output power of the warning tone is slightly higher than the
output power of live broadcasts or other audio files.
