SIREN CONTROLS
The combined power switch and volume control give power to the hand control and

until it “clicks”. Power is turned ON and increased PA volume by rotating clockwise.
The power switch should be turned off when vehicle is not being used to conserve
battery power.
The Rotary Function Switch selects various siren operating modes.
These modes are as follows:
Phaser: The siren produces a very fast warble tone. This mode may be used at
intersections or in highly congested areas. Horn and PA override
available in this mode.

on SC-550-85 model.
Yelp: The siren produces a moderate warble tone. This mode may be used in
lightly congested areas. Horn and PA override available in this mode.
Wail: The siren produces a normal rise-fall tone pattern. This mode may be used on highways or areas with
constant traffic flow. Yelp and PA override available in this mode.
Manual: The siren rise-fall tone is controlled manually with the Siren button. PA override available in this mode.
Horn: Also considered a standby mode. Horn and PA override available in this mode.
