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.
