Setup Instructions

Installation of the LED Light Kit requires careful handling and integration with your #10369 Plum Blossom building block set. A detailed PDF instruction manual is provided digitally to guide you through each step. The general process involves:

1. Prepare Your Model: Carefully disassemble sections of your Plum Blossom model where lights are to be installed. Refer to the digital PDF manual for specific disassembly points.
2. Install Lights: Place the individual LED lights and light strings into the designated areas of the model. This often involves threading wires between studs and under bricks. Ensure wires are not pinched or excessively bent.
3. Connect Components: Connect the individual lights and light strings to the provided connecting wires and expansion boards. Pay attention to polarity if indicated.
4. Reassemble Model: Carefully reassemble the building block sections, ensuring all wires are neatly tucked away and not visible or obstructing the model's structure.

Operating Instructions

Once the LED Light Kit is fully installed and connected to your Plum Blossom model:

1. Ensure the USB power cable is securely connected to both the light kit and a compatible 5V power source (e.g., power bank, battery box, or USB wall adapter).
2. The lights should illuminate automatically upon receiving power. There are no additional switches or controls on the light kit itself.
3. To turn off the lights, simply disconnect the USB power cable from the power source.

Maintenance

• Keep the light kit and your model in a dry environment to prevent damage to electrical components.
• Avoid pulling or tugging on the wires, as this can cause them to break or disconnect.
• To clean, gently wipe the LED lights and wires with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• If storing the model for an extended period, disconnect the power source.

Troubleshooting

• Lights not turning on:
  • Check that the USB power cable is securely connected to both the light kit and the power source.
  • Ensure your power source (power bank, battery box, USB hub) is functional and providing power. If using a battery box, check battery levels.
  • Inspect wires for any visible breaks or disconnections.
• Some lights flickering or not working:
  • Gently check the connections of the affected lights to the main wiring or expansion board.
  • Ensure no wires are pinched or damaged within the building blocks.
  • Try a different power source to rule out power supply issues.
• Wires are visible:
  • During installation, ensure wires are carefully routed and tucked under or between building blocks to minimize visibility.
  • Refer to the digital PDF manual for recommended wire routing paths.

User Tips

• Patience is Key: Installing light kits into intricate building block models can be time-consuming. Take your time and follow the instructions carefully.
• Test as You Go: It's often helpful to test sections of the lighting as you install them, rather than waiting until the very end. This can help identify and fix issues early.
• Gentle Handling: The wires and small LEDs are delicate. Avoid excessive force when pushing blocks together or routing wires.
