SERVICE
This unit is designed to provide years of reliable service under even the worst condi-
tions. Many times there may appear to be a problem with the unit when the true prob-
lem is in the speaker(s) or improper installation. The following chart shows typical
symptoms and possible causes.
A blown rear panel fuse doesn't necessarily mean that the unit is bad. If a speaker or
speaker lead is shorted this fuse will blow before the unit is damaged. Disconnect the
SPKR leads and replace the fuse. If the siren emits a sound when in the Yelp posi-
tion it is OK. Check the speaker(s) or leads for possible shorting.
