PERMANENT MOUNT VERSIONS

1. IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions before installing your new
warning light. This instruction sheet applies only to the models listed at the top of this
sheet.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Remove the base and drill a 3/8" hole in the four marked spots.

CAUTION: Take care not to drill through the headliner below.

6. Push the enclosed rubber well nuts through the holes until the bottom side of the wider
lip rests on the surface of the vehicle.

7. 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 9.

8. 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.

9. Replace the dome on your mini-bar.

10. Connect the corresponding wires for your model

MAGNET MOUNT VERSIONS

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.

1. 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.

2. If you are mounting the light on the roof of your vehicle, take extreme care to ensure
that the magnets are firmly seated on your roof, and that the pull of the magnets is
sufficient to secure the light in place. Because the composition of the metal in the
roofs of different vehicles may vary, as well as the contour, texture and/or condition,
the manufacturer 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.

3. 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 any airbags (front and/or side).

4. 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, 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.
