Safety Warnings

WARNING!

This Product contains high intensity TriCore® devices. To prevent eye
damage, DO NOT stare into light beam at close range.

WARNING!

The use of this or any warning device does not ensure that all drivers can or will observe or react to an
emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is your responsibility to be sure you can
proceed safely before entering an intersection, driving against trafc, responding at a high rate of speed, or
walking on or around trafc lanes. The effectiveness of this warning device is highly dependent upon correct
mounting and wiring. Read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions before installing or using this device. The
vehicle operator should insure daily that all features of the device operate correctly. In use, the vehicle operator
should insure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e.: open trunks or
compartment doors), people, vehicles, or other obstructions. This equipment is intended for use by authorized
personnel only. It is the user’s responsibility to understand and obey all laws regarding emergency warning
devices. The user should check all applicable city, state and federal laws and regulations. Code 3, Inc., assumes
no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device. Proper installation is vital to the performance
of this warning device and the safe operation of the emergency vehicle. It is important to recognize that the
operator of the emergency vehicle is under psychological and physiological stress caused by the emergency
situation. The warning device should be installed in such a manner as to: A) Not reduce the output performance
of the system, B) Place the controls within convenient reach of the operator so that he can operate the system
without losing eye contact with the roadway. Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages
and/or currents. Properly protect and use caution around live electrical connections. Grounding or shorting of
electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle
damage, including re. Any electronic device may create or be affected by electromagnetic interference. After
installation of any electronic device operate all equipment simultaneously to insure that operation is free of
interference. Never power emergency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding
circuit with radio communication equipment. All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufcient strength to withstand the forces applied to the
device. Driver and/or passenger air bags (SRS) will affect the way equipment should be mounted. This device
should be mounted by permanent installation and within the zones specied by the vehicle manufacturer, if any.
Any device mounted in the deployment area of an air bag will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air
bag and may damage or dislodge the device. Installer must be sure that this device, its mounting hardware and
electrical supply wiring does not interfere with the air bag or the SRS wiring or sensors. Mounting the unit inside
the vehicle by a method other than permanent installation is not recommended as unit may become dislodged
during swerving, sudden braking or collision. Failure to follow instructions can result in personal injury. PROPER
INSTALLATION COMBINED WITH OPERATOR TRAINING IN THE PROPER USE OF EMERGENCY WARNING
DEVICES IS ESSENTIAL TO INSURE THE SAFETY OF EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AND THE PUBLIC.

IMPORTANT: Please be sure to check that the product is properly fused. Installing the XT310 LED light
without the appropriate fuse will void the warranty.
