4. Setup

4.1. Installation

The remote controllers feature a strong magnetic base for easy attachment to metallic surfaces. For wall mounting, use the provided magnetic holder:

1. Remove the protective sticker from the back of the magnetic holder.
2. Stick the holder firmly onto a clean, dry wall surface.
3. Place the remote controller onto the magnetic holder.

4.2. Linking and Unlinking with Lighting Products

Before using the remote, it must be linked to your MiBoxer/Mi-Light 2.4G series lighting product. Ensure the lighting product is powered off before starting the linking process.

Linking Procedure:

1. Turn off the power to the light for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
2. Within 3 seconds of turning on the light, short press the "ON" button on the remote 3 times.
3. If successful, the light will flash 3 times slowly.

Attention: If linking fails (light does not flash), please repeat the above steps. A remote cannot be linked again if it has already been successfully linked to a light.

Unlinking Procedure:

1. Turn off the power to the light for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
2. Within 3 seconds of turning on the light, short press the "ON" button on the remote 5 times.
3. If successful, the light will flash 10 times quickly.

Attention: If unlinking fails (light does not flash), please repeat the above steps. There is no need to unlink if the light has never been linked.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. C1 Color Temperature Remote

• ON / OFF: Turn all linked lights ON or OFF.
• Warmer White / Cooler White: Adjust the color temperature.
• Brightness +/-: Increase or decrease the brightness.

• Zone 1-4 ON / OFF: Turn individual zones ON or OFF.

5.2. C2 Remote (For V3.0 Smart Plug & Switch)

• ON / OFF: Turn all linked smart plugs/switches ON or OFF.
• Timer (0.5h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h): Set a timer for automatic power off.
• Zone 1-4 ON / OFF: Turn individual zones ON or OFF.

5.3. C3 Color Temperature Remote

• ON / OFF: Turn the light ON or OFF.
• Brightness / CCT Control Slider: Slide up and down to adjust brightness or color temperature.

6. Maintenance

6.1. General Care

• Do not use the remote controller in high humidity or high-temperature environments.
• If the remote is not used frequently, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store it in a dry, static-electricity-free area.
• Avoid using the remote near large metal objects or strong magnetic fields, as this can affect the signal and reduce the control distance.
• Clean the remote with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

7. Troubleshooting

• Remote not responding: Check if the battery is inserted correctly and has sufficient power. Replace the battery if necessary.
• Light not linking/unlinking: Ensure the power cycle (10 seconds off, then on) is performed correctly and the "ON" button presses are within 3 seconds. Repeat the linking/unlinking steps carefully.
• Reduced control distance or intermittent signal: Ensure there are no large metal objects or strong magnetic fields between the remote and the receiver. Replace the battery if the signal strength is consistently weak.
• C4 remote automatically returns to Brightness Mode: This is normal behavior. If no operation is performed for 3 seconds, the C4 remote will default back to Brightness Mode.

8. User Tips

• For optimal performance, ensure a clear line of sight or minimal obstructions between the remote and the lighting product.
• When controlling multiple zones, take a moment to familiarize yourself with which zone button corresponds to which lighting area for seamless control.
• Consider keeping a spare battery on hand to avoid interruptions in control.

9. Warranty and Support

For warranty information, technical support, or service inquiries, please contact your original retailer or the manufacturer directly. Keep your purchase receipt as proof of purchase.
