Magnet Mounting
If you are ounting the light on the roof of your vehicle, take extre e care to ensure
that the agnet is fir ly seated on your roof, and that the pull of the agnet is
sufficient to secure the light in place. As the co position of the etal in the roofs of
different vehicles ay vary, as well as the contour, texture, and/or condition, the
anufacturer cannot guarantee the ability of the light to re ain in place upon a oving
vehicle. It is the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the warning light is secure.
WARNING!!!! Care should be taken when positioning any warning light on the roof,
dash, or instrument panel of the vehicle, so that the light and/or cord
does not interfere with the proper operation of any airbags! Failure to
heed this warning may result in serious or fatal injury
 CAUTION: Please be sure to check that your cigarette plug outlet is properly fused
Testing the light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on
the light.
 If the light fails to work when the plug is inserted into the cigarette plug socket, twist the
plug a few times to remove any ash or other deposits which might be preventing a
good contact from being made If the problem persists, check for a fuse inside of the
plug itself If present, remove the fuse from the circuit, check to see if it has blown, and
clean the lighter socket and contact surfaces Reconnect the fuse and test the light
again
