Instructions Prior to Use: Please read the following instructions before
using this product.
- Safety. This device can cause discomfort or hearing damage if directed at a persons’ ear, particularly with the siren feature.
- Batteries. If the unit is not to be used for a long period of time, one month, for example, remove the batteries. Aged batteries can leak and cause corrosion to the contacts causing the product to perform poorly or not at all.
- Environment. Do not leave the unit in direct sunlight or extremely hot or cold environments for an extended period of time as damage may occur.
- Clean-up. Use only a neutral, nonsolvent detergent to remove dirt or grease.
Operating the Megaphone:
- Installing the Batteries. Make sure that the power button is in the ‘OFF’ position and the volume control is at a minimum. Depress the battery compartment button (Refer to Figure A) to open the battery door and install the 6 ‘D’ cells being careful to observe the positive (+) and negative (-) polarity marks.
- Powering Up. Assure that the Voice/Siren button is in the ‘OUT’ position for voice (Refer to Figure A). Depress the power button and speak into the microphone with your mouth approximately one inch (25mm) away. Gradually increase the volume to become acquainted with the loudness level. It is highly recommended that this test be done outside.
Reduce the volume and push the Voice/Siren button ‘IN’ and gradually increase the volume again to become familiar with the loudness level.
