taillight) reflector housing from the vehicle.

2. Locate and remove the manufacturers block-off plug from the housing.

thoroughly. Using the isopropyl alcohol prep pad (included), thoroughly clean

the VHB contact area on the housing.

Extend the BLK wire to the negative terminal of the battery.

Connect the GRN wire to other SYNC capable devices to

synchronize their output. Cap off this wire if it is not used.

Extend the WHT wire to a customer supplied momentary

switch (fuse @ 1 amp). See Scan-Lock section for operation.

In order to program flash patterns, the lighthead must be on. With the appropriate

lighthead(s) activated:

To advance to the next available pattern apply

+12VDC to the WHT wire for less than 1 second and release. To cycle back to the

previous pattern apply +12VDC to the WHT wire for more than 1 second and

release.

When the desired pattern is displayed,

allow it to run for more than 5 seconds. The lighthead will now display this pattern

when initially activated.

This will reset all patterns

back to their default settings. With the light turned off, apply power to the WHT

wire. With power applied to the WHT wire, turn light on. Allow the unit to run for 3

seconds before removing power from the WHT wire.

A normally open momentary switch should be used to control Scan-Lock

operation.
