To temporarily mount the beacon to a vehicle with magnetic
mounting or magnetic suction mounting:
1. Place the beacon on the vehicle roof at a location that
provides maximum signaling effectiveness for your
application.

on the plug. To show that the power is on, a pilot light turns
on.
4. To remove models with a suction cup, pull up on the release
tabs while picking up the beacon.
