Magnet Mounting
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.
WARNING!!!! Care should be taken when positioning any warning light on the roof,
dash, or instrument panel of the vehicle, so that the light and/or cord
does not interfere with the proper operation of any airbags! Failure to
heed this warning may result in serious or fatal injury.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Permanent Mounting
1. CAUTION: All of our DC powered warning lights are polarity sensitive. These lights
are polarity protected only if the appropriate fuse is used. All wires connected to the
positive terminal of the battery should be fused at the battery for their rated load.
Testing the light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on
the light.
2. Remove the dome from your mini-bar. Take care not to damage the gasket. Place
the light in the exact position it is to be mounted.
3. Using the base as a template, mark four holes on the mounting surface. Take care to
ensure that the base does not move while you are marking each of the four holes.
4. Remove the base and drill a 3/8" hole in the four marked spots.
CAUTION: Take care not to drill through the headliner below.
5. Push the enclosed rubber well nuts through the holes until the bottom side of the
wider lip rests on the surface of the vehicle.
6. For external wiring of your new Star mini-bar skip to Step 8. For internal wiring,
proceed as follows: Remove the headliner from the inside of the vehicle. Draw two
diagonal lines between the well nuts in the opposite corners. Mark the location at
which they cross. Drill a 3/8" hole in the center marked location. Place the light on
the surface of the vehicle, routing the wires through the hole. Align the four other
holes with the well nuts, install the screws, and tighten until snug. Skip to Step 8.
7. For external wiring, place the light on the mounting surface and align the holes with
the well nuts. Install the screws and tighten until snug.
8. Replace the dome on your mini-bar.

Pattern Programming
1. Power up the light and set the flash pattern by pressing Pattern
Select switch (cig plug versions only), or briefly touching and
releasing the green wire to ground (hard-wired versions only).
2. These lights have 12 optional patterns.

Use the Pattern Select Switch or Green wire to cycle through the other patterns.
4. After the pattern has been set, tape, or place a wirenut over the end of the green wire to
prevent it from coming into contact with ground again (hard-wired versions).
5. SHORTCUTS: Review the chart above for a list of how long you need to touch the
green wire to ground or hold the Pattern Select button to jump directly
to a desired pattern.

Low Voltage Detection
These units have low input voltage detection. With this feature the beacon senses the input
voltage and flashes a fast pattern (approximately 16 cycles per second) to indicate to the user that
the battery voltage is low (less than 10V). Once the input voltage returns to normal (greater than
12V) the unit will return to the normal flashing.

Synchronization of Multiple Lights
(Permanent Mount Versions Only)
You can synchronize up to six total approved lights.
If you will be synchronizing two or more units together, leave the white wires
disconnected until programming for each has been completed. Connect the
white wires from the units together ONLY AFTER PROGRAMMING them
all for the same Pattern Type (Phase MAY differ).
If you will be synchronizing your light with any of our products, please note the
following:
• All units that are to be synchronized MUST have the same Pattern Type.
• To check pattern compatibility with other “S-Link” products, review the Pattern List for each
product, noting the Pattern Type. Certain patterns are compatible with some lights, but not
compatible with others.
• Although the programmable Flash Patterns can vary between our different lights, Pattern
Types F, G, H, I, & J are fully compatible patterns with ALL of our other “S-Link” products.
Please Note: Most of our compatible products have patterns that can be
programmed for Phase 1 or Phase 2. One side of the 9200 HALO minibar flashes
in Phase 1, while the other flashes in Phase 2. When synchronizing any other
light (excluding 9200 HALO), the Phase of the additional light being
synchronized will determine which half of the minibar the additional light flashes in
conjunction with.

1. Review the Pattern List for each synchronized product, noting the Pattern Type for each
product.
2. Select a Pattern Type that is compatible with all of the lights/flashers you will be synchronizing.
3. Program each light according to the instructions enclosed with each. For lights that have
patterns with a Phase: All lights programmed for the same Phase will flash ON and OFF at
the same time (flash simultaneously). Lights that are programmed for different phases will flash
opposite one another (alternate).
4. After you have the correct patterns programmed for ALL of the lights you wish to
synchronize, turn all of the lights off and connect the white wires from all units together.
5. Power all of the lights up at the exact same time to verify they are flashing in the desired
pattern. Power MUST be applied to all synchronized lights simultaneously.
Excessive switch bounce or attempting to power the units up independently will
result in erratic operation.
