MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR MAGNET MOUNT LIGHTS

If you are mounting the light on the roof of your vehicle, take extreme care to ensure
that the magnet is firmly seated on your roof, and that the pull of the magnet is
sufficient to secure the light in place. As the composition of the metal in the roofs of
different vehicles may vary, as well as the contour, texture and/or condition, Star
cannot guarantee the ability of the light to remain in place upon a moving vehicle. It

1. IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions before installing your new Star
warning light.

2. CAUTION: Please be sure to check that your cigarette plug outlet is properly fused.

Testing the light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on
the light.

3. Some of our warning lights come with a dome hood included for driver eye protection
during dash mounted operation. Hoods may be ordered for most of the other models in
which a hood is not included.

4. A metal plate is provided with certain small models to facilitate mounting the new warning
light onto your dashboard. Peel the back off of the unattached piece of Velcro and affix it
to the dashboard. Then, mate it with the other half of the Velcro attached to the metal
plate at the factory. This will provide you with a metal surface to which your new
warning light can be mounted using the attached magnet and easily removed from. It is

the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the warning light and metal plate
are secure.

5. For all magnet mount models, if you are mounting the light on the roof of your
vehicle, take extreme care to ensure that the magnet is firmly seated on your roof, and
that the pull of the magnet is sufficient to secure the light in place. As the composition of
the metal in the roofs of different vehicles may vary, as well as the contour, texture
and/or condition, Star cannot guarantee the ability of the light to remain in place upon a
moving vehicle. It is the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the warning

light is secure.

6. Once the light is secured, route your cord such that it does not interfere with the vision of
the driver or the operation of any controls, including, but not limited to, the steering wheel,
gear shifter, and/or airbag.

7. This light has been factory tested and approved. If the light fails to work when the plug is
inserted into the cigarette plug socket, twist the plug a few times to remove any ash or
other deposits which might be preventing a good contact from being made. If the problem
persists, check for a fuse inside of the plug itself. If present, remove the fuse from the
circuit, check to see if it has blown, and clean the lighter socket and contact surfaces.
Reconnect the fuse and test the light again.

SPECIAL 242 SERIES FEATURES

Cig Plug

The 242 Series strobe lights have a number of features:

LED Diagnostic Indicator: The 242 contains an LED designed to flash when the strobe

tube should be flashing. If a strobe light is not working,
troubleshooting is simple with this new LED. Simply examine
the circuit when power is applied to it. If the strobe tube is
not flashing, but the LED is flashing, you have a bad strobe
tube. If the LED is not flashing, the circuit is either not
receiving the proper voltage, or the circuit has failed.

Photocell: The 242 has a built-in photocell which will automatically

switch the light to low power during “night” (or low light)
conditions when such a high intensity is not required.

Pattern Select Jumper: The 242 lights have a jumper on the circuit allowing the end

user to select the desired flash pattern. Placing the jumper on
pins 1 and 2 will elicit a quadflash pattern, and placing the
jumper on 2 and 3 will produce a doubleflash pattern.
