6. Setup
6.1. Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert two AAA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
6.2. Magnetic Base Installation
The remote controls come with a strong magnetic base for convenient wall mounting.
Figure 6: Magnetic base installation steps.
- Take off the double-sided tape on the back of the magnetic base.
- Stick the base firmly to a clean, flat surface (e.g., a wall).
- The remote control will be magnetically attracted to the installed base.
6.3. Linking with MiBoxer/Mi-Light Products
To control your MiBoxer/Mi-Light products, you will need to link the remote control to them. The exact linking procedure may vary slightly depending on the specific MiBoxer/Mi-Light receiver or lamp. Generally, the process involves:
- Power on the MiBoxer/Mi-Light product you wish to control.
- Within a few seconds of powering on, press the "Zone ON" button (e.g., '1' for Zone 1) on your remote control repeatedly (usually 3 times).
- The light should flash a few times to indicate successful linking.
- If linking fails, power off the light, wait 10 seconds, and repeat the process.
For unlinking, typically power on the light and within a few seconds, press the "Zone OFF" button (e.g., '1' for Zone 1) on your remote control repeatedly (usually 5 times). The light should flash to indicate unlinking.

9. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Remote not responding | Dead batteries, remote not linked, out of range, interference. | Replace batteries. Re-link the remote to the light. Move closer to the light. Check for strong electromagnetic interference. |
| Control distance is short | Obstructions, strong electromagnetic interference, low battery. | Ensure clear line of sight. Avoid metal objects or other 2.4GHz devices. Replace batteries. |
| Lights not changing color/CCT (C1, C3, C5) | Incorrect remote model for light, light not RGB/CCT capable, remote not linked correctly. | Verify your light supports color/CCT control. Ensure the remote is correctly linked to the light. |
| C2 remote not dimming | C2 remote is not designed for dimming. | This is expected behavior. The C2 only supports ON/OFF. |
10. User Tips
- For optimal performance, ensure your MiBoxer/Mi-Light products are within the 30m control range.
- When linking multiple lights to different zones, link one light at a time to avoid confusion.
