### What’s Included
- SLE - MAX2 - FIRE, SLE - MAX2 - CFB, or SLE - MAX2 - CFBPS Communicator
- Two antennas
- Installation guide


Using your Napco Starlink Fire MAX 2 communicator is easy. First, pick the right model (SLE - MAX2 - FIRE, SLE - MAX2 - CFB, or SLE - MAX2 - CFBPS) based on your needs. Follow the installation guide that comes with the product to set it up. Connect the antennas for better signal reception.
When it comes to power, make sure to use the correct input voltage according to your model. For example, if you have a model without a power supply, use 10 - 24VDC regulated power. The auto - network selection feature will automatically find the strongest carrier for you, but keep an eye on the EZ Cell - Network indicators (red for Verizon, blue for AT&T) to confirm the connection.
For maintenance, check the device regularly for any signs of damage. Keep it in an environment where the temperature is between 32°F and 120°F and the humidity is below 93%. If you need to manage or monitor the device, use the StarLink NOC. Remember, this communicator is designed to work with 12V - 24V FACUs and legacy panels, so there's no need to reprogram your old panels. Just make sure to follow all the relevant UL and NFPA standards for safety and compliance.
