RADIO VOLUME ADJUST
The RADIO VOLUME ADJUST is a one time setting which depends on the
radio connected and its normal volume.
The siren cover must be removed to access the adjustment. The cover is held
in place by a snap-fastener on the back of the unit. While holding the case on
the sides press hard with your thumbs on the back of the unit. The chassis will
slide out the front.
Switch siren to RADIO mode and turn on the power. With the volume on the
radio itself set to normal level, set the RADIO VOLUME ADJUST to the desired
level. Turn off power and press the chassis back into the cover.
