Press the siren button located on the handle. The siren will sound continuously until you press the button again to turn it off. Use only when necessary to avoid disturbing others.

Is the S601R weather-resistant?

The megaphone is designed for outdoor use but is not fully waterproof. Avoid exposing it to rain or excessive moisture. Store in a dry place.

Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Keep the microphone grille free of dust.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Batteries: Locate battery compartment latch on top of megaphone (A). Open and insert 6 "C" size batteries (not included) into the battery sleeve (B). Follow battery diagram on sleeve for battery direction. Close megaphone.
• Battery Status: The megaphone has 3 LED's LOW, MID, HIGH, (C) that will tell you the current strength of the battery. Note: Drained batteries do not give sufficient sound volume. Replace the batteries when LOW LED lights when trigger is squeezed. Remove batteries when not in use for a long time.
• Talk: Make sure that the switch (D) is in the Off / Talk position. Place mouth about one inch from microphone (E), squeeze trigger (F) and speak. To increase volume, rotate volume control (G) left to right.

When you have a fresh set of batteries you may get "feedback" when talking. To eliminate feedback you need to turn down the gain. Locate the gain control (H) in the battery compartment. Turn until you do not hear any feedback. Less gain, turn counter clockwise. More gain, turn clockwise.

• Siren: To activate Siren, move switch (D) to the right. Siren will be heard. There is no control of the volume.
• Whistle: To activate Whistle, move switch (D) to the left. Whistle will be heard. There is no control of the volume.
• Property Label: Located on the bottom of the bell. Use marking pen to write ownership name on megaphone.

WHY USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES?

Save Money—While rechargeable batteries cost more initially, they can be reused hundreds of times and last for years.

Protect the Environment—Conserve Resources

The corrosive materials and heavy metals in batteries can impair human health and the environment. Rechargeable batteries use greatly reduces the quantity of batteries manufactured, used and discarded.

• Rechargeable Battery Pack is available for this model: Optional S1402 Lithium-ion battery pack with built-in wall charger. Replaces the 6 "C" size batteries.
• A fully charged battery will provide 8 hours of typical operation, defined as speaking 35% of the time at mid volume, and over one year of standby / idle time
