- Connect the output terminal of the switch to the positive input of the back-up alarm.
- Ensure the back-up alarm has a proper ground connection.

6. Operating Instructions
The Truck-Lite 92907 Back-Up Alarm Switch operates as a simple on/off mechanism for your vehicle's back-up alarm. When the switch is in the "on" position, it completes the circuit, allowing the back-up alarm to sound when the vehicle is in reverse. When the switch is in the "off" position, it breaks the circuit, preventing the alarm from sounding.
- To Activate Alarm: Toggle the switch to the "on" position. The back-up alarm will now function automatically when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
- To Deactivate Alarm: Toggle the switch to the "off" position. The back-up alarm will remain silent even when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.
7. Maintenance
The Truck-Lite 92907 Back-Up Alarm Switch is designed for durability and requires minimal maintenance.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the switch and its wiring for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
- Cleaning: If necessary, clean the exterior of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Connection Check: Ensure that all electrical connections remain tight and secure.
