4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your light bar:
- Choose Mounting Location: Select a flat, clean, and dry metallic surface on your vehicle's rooftop. Ensure the surface is free from dirt, dust, and moisture for optimal magnetic adhesion.
- Prepare Magnetic Base: If the suction cup padding is separate, attach it to the heavy-duty aluminum magnetic mount brackets. Ensure the magnets are clean.

- Route Power Cable: Route the power cable from the light bar into the vehicle's cabin, ensuring it does not interfere with doors, windows, or other moving parts. Avoid sharp edges that could damage the cable.
- Connect to Power: Plug the 12V cigarette adapter from the control panel into your vehicle's 12V power outlet.
