I recently just hooked one up and went to use the horn Ring and the siren did nothing. The siren is going to be set just as an Airhorn and a PA so i do not need the siren tones. But when i went to use it right from the box the HF would not Work. am i missing something in the instructions

Did you check that the wiring was correct?

STANDBY – Hands Free:


When you press STANDBY the siren functions are placed in a stand-by


mode. Siren tones are activated by a single “tap” on the MANUAL button


or the vehicle’s steering wheel horn ring (if the vehicle’s horn has been


wired to the HORN RING input). The first tap produces two “Phased” Wail


tones on both speakers. A second tap produces two “Phased” Yelp tones


on both speakers. A third tap produces a Yelp tone on speaker 1 and a


Piercer™ tone on speaker 2. The next tap returns the siren to the


“Phased” Wail tones and the cycle repeats itself. Two quick successive


taps stop the siren.


With the STANDBY button activated:


• Activating the AIRHORN button will produce a higher frequency


AIRHORN tone on speaker 1 and a Lower frequency AIRHORN tone


on speaker 2 until released.


• Activating the RADIO, WAIL, YELP, or TONE3 button will deactivate the


STANDBY button and produce their corresponding function.


• Activating the HORN RING input or MAN button will produce the hands


free cycle as described above.


• Activating the SIREN DISABLE input will deactivate the STANDBY


button.

To change the tones in a HANDS FREE cycle position


(STANDBY switch):


• Activate the STANDBY switch.


• Press and release the MANUAL switch to advance to the HAND FREE


cycle position that you want to change.


• Press and release the lighting momentary switch 4 to change the tone


produced by speaker 1.


OR…


• Press and release the lighting momentary switch 5 to change the tone


produced by speaker 2.


• Each time a switch is pressed and released, the next available tone will


be broadcast on the corresponding speaker.


AND…


• The other speaker will shut off for 2 seconds so that the new tone can


be clearly identified.


• When the desired tone is generated, it is automatically saved for that


HAND FREE cycle position for that speaker.
