60- and 61- SERIES BACK-UP ALARMS
60 Series
61-Series
1. CAUTION: All of our DC powered back-up alarms are polarity sensitive. All wires
connected to the positive terminal of the battery should be fused at the battery for their
rated load. Testing the alarm before this fuse is properly installed will void the
warranty on the alarm.
2. Mount the alarm in the rear of the vehicle with the sound opening outward towards the
hazard zone.
3. Connect the black wire to the negative side of the battery or a good chassis ground.
4. Connect the red wire to an independent actuating switch or splice it into the back-up lights
as shown in the diagram on the reverse side of this page. Please Note: The vehicles
supply voltage must be the same as the voltage rating specified on the alarm you are
installing. Any other voltage applied will void the warranty.
5. For models with a Brown Wire: If you ordered a model with a selectable decibel level
(60-802S or 60-907S), connect the brown wire with the red wire (BAT +) for the lower dB
output, or cut it short and tape it off for the higher dB output. An optional switch may be
installed to allow the driver to select which level the back-up alarm operates at.
If you have any questions concerning this or any other Star product, or need warranty
service, please contact our Customer Service Department at [phone].

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants each new product, under normal use, against factory defects in material
and workmanship for one year after the date of purchase. The owner will be responsible for returning
to the Service Center any defective item(s) with the transportation costs prepaid. The manufacturer
will, without charge, repair or replace at its option, products, or part(s), which its inspection determines
to be defective. Repaired or replacement item(s) will be returned to the purchaser with transportation
costs prepaid from the service point. A copy of the purchaser's receipt must be returned with the
defective item(s) in order to qualify for the warranty coverage.
Exclusions from this warranty include, but are not limited to, bulbs, strobe tubes, domes, and/or the
finish. This warranty shall not apply to any light, which has been altered, such that in the
manufacturer's judgment, the performance or reliability has been affected, or if any damage has
resulted from abnormal use or service. This warranty does not apply to defect or damage occurring as
a result of disaster, accident, abuse, misuse, lightning, power surges, or failure to follow instructions in
any enclosed manuals. Any damage or defects occurring as a result of any unauthorized service or
repairs by unauthorized persons shall be excluded from this warranty.
There are no warranties expressed or implied (including any warranty of merchantability or fitness),
which extend this warranty period. The loss of use of the product, loss of time, inconvenience,
commercial loss or consequential damages, including costs of any labor, are not covered. The
manufacturer reserves the right to change the design of the product without assuming any obligation
to modify any product previously manufactured.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You might also have additional rights which may vary from
state to state. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts. Some states
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore, the above
limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to you.
