5. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for easy installation:

  1. Prepare the TV Surface: First, wipe the back of your TV with a clean, dry towel to ensure the surface is free of dust and grease. This will help the LED light tape adhere properly.
  2. Attach the LED Strip: Carefully peel off the backing sticker from the LED strip. Paste the strip along the edges of the back of your TV. When reaching corners, gently twist the lamp belt slightly to navigate the corner, then secure it with the provided mounting clips/buttons.
  3. Connect the Adapter for Corners: Ensure that any corner adapters are properly connected to maintain continuity of the LED strip.
  4. Wiring Connections: Connect the LED strip to the controller box. Pay close attention to the polarity: the "+ -" markings on the LED line and the transfer interface should be aligned. Connect the camera sensor to the designated port on the controller. Finally, connect the power adapter to the controller box and then plug it into a power outlet.
