5.1 General Care
- To prevent static electricity, handle the product carefully during installation and use.
- Avoid using sharp objects that could damage the lights.

5.2 Remote Control Battery
The remote control uses a button cell battery. If the remote stops responding, replace the battery. Ensure the new battery is installed correctly according to polarity.
WARNING: Button Cell Battery Ingestion Hazard
This product contains a button cell or coin battery. Ingestion can cause severe injury or death. A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause internal chemical burns in as little as 2 hours.
KEEP new and used batteries OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Seek immediate medical attention if a battery is suspected to be swallowed or inserted inside any part of the body.
Requirements for Consumer Products Containing Button Cell or Coin Batteries:
- Remove and immediately recycle or dispose of used batteries according to local regulations and keep away from children. Do NOT dispose of batteries in household trash or incinerate.
- Even used batteries may cause severe injury or death.
- Call a local poison control center for treatment information.
- Always completely secure the battery compartment. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product, remove the batteries, and keep them away from children.
6. Troubleshooting
- Lights not turning on: Check the USB power connection and ensure the control box switch is in the ON position. If the cable appears damaged, it may need repair or replacement.
- Remote control not working: Ensure the plastic tab has been removed from the battery compartment. Check if the battery needs replacement. Make sure the remote is aimed directly at the control box's IR receiver.
- Infrared interference with TV remote: If the light string's infrared signal conflicts with your TV remote, you can choose to use either the app control or reposition the IR receiver.
- App connection issues: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the 'Hello Fairy' app has necessary permissions. Restart the app and try reconnecting.
- Inconsistent patterns/images: Some users have reported patterns occasionally disappearing or behaving erratically. Try restarting the lights or the app. For complex patterns, ensure sufficient lighting density (e.g., by linking multiple units).
- Incompatible apps/models: If you have multiple units, ensure they are of the same model and use the same app for consistent control. Different models may require different apps.
