C. OPERATION.
SAFETY MESSAGE TO OPERATORS
WARNING
Peoples’ lives depend on your safe use of our
products.
Listed below are some important safety
instructions and precautions you should
follow:
• Because vehicle driving conditions vary
and the possibility of emergency vehicle
accidents always exists, Federal Signal
does not recommend driving a vehicle
with a suction cup mounted light in-
stalled. Under certain violent circum-
stances, the light could detach from the
glass mounting surface causing injury or
damage.
• Also, situations may occur which obstruct
your warning signal when natural or
man-made objects are between your
vehicle and others, such as: raising your
hood or trun lid. If these situations
occur, be especially careful.
Failure to follow these safety precautions may
result in property damage, serious injury, or death to
you, to passengers, or to others.
RETAIN AND REFER TO THIS MESSAGE
WARNING
Suction cup mounting provides a secure,
temporary mounting method for use in the
interior of a vehicle. Never install the unit on
the exterior of a vehicle. The light could fly
off the vehicle causing injury or damage.
Repair of damage incurred because of ignor-
ing this warning shall be the sole responsibil-
ity of the user.
1. Press the suction cups against a clean and dry
windshield. Ensure that the light is placed to promote
maximum coverage.
2. nsert the plug on the end of the power cord into
the cigar lighter socket.
WARNING
Suction cup mounting is not a permanent
mounting method. Between uses, remove the
light assembly from the windshield. Exposure
to temperature changes and sunlight will
cause the suction cups’ holding power to
diminish.
3. To remove the light assembly from the windshield,
grasp the unit and gently lift the suction cup tabs.
