The StarLink Signal Strength Tester allows you to perform a
site survey test of the premises to find the optimum installa-
tion locations for your StarLink
tor. Four different models are available, the SLE-LTEV-SS
and SLE-LTEV-SS-CF (LTE Verizon cellular network);
SLE-LTEA-SS and SLE-LTEA-SS-CF (LTE AT&T cellular
network).

SPECIFICATIONS
Battery Pack: Standard USB 5V 10000mAh
Note: Unit must be off when charging battery.
Battery Life Indicator: Four (4) small blue LEDs display
the real-time percentage of remaining battery power
(recharge when one LED is lit)
Typical Battery Life: About 23 hours of continuous use
after a full charge
Battery Charger: 5V/2A wall plug adapter
Dimensions (W x H x D): 8 x 5-
3.8cm)

OPERATION
1. Power on (press "–" on the rocker switch).
2. Wait 1-2 minutes for unit to enter "Standby Mode" with
LEDs indicating:
 Top Red LED flashes, then turns off
 Right Green LED flashes
 Yellow LED momentary flashes
3. Place unit in potential installation location.
4. Wait 2 minutes.
5. Count the right Green LED flashes (acceptable power
level is greater than or equal to 2 blinks).
 If moving location, go to step 4.
 If the top Red LED blinks or turns on solid, you MUST
go to step 2. If step 2 LED flashes do not occur, signal
is likely too weak (try a different location).
Power off when not in use and when charging. After
powering off, wait at least 30 seconds before power-
ing on.
LED DESCRIPTIONS
There are five (5) LEDs on the front of the unit:
Green RF Signal Strength LED: Every 30 seconds, the
StarLink communicator receiver turns on and listens to the
cell tower. Depending on the signal strength detected, this
LED will blink from 1 to 5 times at a constant rate (with a
short delay between blink cycles) to provide a signal strength
indicator that is updated constantly and is always displayed.
Acceptable power level is greater than or equal to 2

blinks.

IMPORTANT: The green Signal Strength LED will pro-
vide a valid reading only when the red Diagnostic LED is
NOT lit (blinking or solid) and the yellow Status LED is not
on solid.
Red Diagnostic LED: Labeled " D7" on the PCB, this LED
will light and flash when the unit is powered (see OPERA-
TION, above). One blink indicates a weak or non-existent
signal from the network (green RF Signal Strength LED is
off).
Green Power LED:
Note: To maximize battery life, press the " O" on the side
switch to power off when not in use.
Yellow Status LED: When the unit is first powered, this
LED will turn on solid for a few seconds, flash, remain on sol-
id again and then turn off. After a connection to the cell tower
is made and the unit is in a normal standby condition, it will
then blink momentarily every 10 seconds.
Red Trouble LED: This LED will blink as follows:
 1 Blink: Low Aux Power input voltage
 2 Blinks: Battery trouble
 3 Blinks: Alarm report Failed to Communicate
 4 Blinks: RF trouble (antenna connection or cellular
registration)
 5 Blinks: Network trouble (signal unable to reach the
SLE Control Center)
 6 Blinks: Unit disabled (reporting or control panel
