Operation Instructions

1. Powering the Accent B7c 8-Light Charging Case
   1). AC Power Supply
   2). Attaching/detaching the fuseIf the fuse burns out, replace it with a new 3A fuse. To open the Fuse Holder, rotate it counter-clockwise to unscrew it, and remove the burnt-out fuse. Proceed to install a new fuse by inserting it into the Fuse Holder, returning the Fuse Holder to its designated position, and rotating it clockwise to screw it into place.
2. Charging
   To charge the B7c bulbs using the charging case, plug the AC power cable into the case and a power outlet. Then ensure that the power switch is in the “ON” position. B7c bulbs can then be charged by inserting them into each of the “push-pull lamp sockets”If the LEDs are active and output light, the B7’s internal battery charges slowly. When the B7c is in standby mode or is powered off, the bulb charges more quickly and can complete a full charge cycle (0-100%) in approximately 2 hours.
   If the bulb’s internal temperature exceeds 45C, a protection mechanism activates, and all charging processes cease until the light’s internal temperature cools to below 45C.
   Battery Charging Speeds
   In the fastest charging scenarios, the B7c can charge up to:
   -50% in 45 minutes
   – 80% in 74 minutes
   – 100% in 120 minutes
   Checking the Charging Status
   When the bulb is in standby mode or is powered off, press the “+” or “-“buttons to initiate a status check. If the battery is charging, the bulb will pulse three times at 3200K. if the battery is fully charged, the bulb will light up for 3 seconds at 3200K
3. B7c Quick Start Color Code Guide
   As the B7c has no screen, we’ve programed some color sequences to signify different actions. Here is a quick reference guide.

   Function/Mode	Trigger	Light Pattern
   Bluetooth Reset	Simultaneously long-press the power button and the “+” or ” button for 5 seconds.	The light will flash red, Green then Blue.
   Charging in Progress	When the bulb is in standby mode or is powered off, press the “+” or ” buttons.	The light will output 3200K at 10% brightness, pulsing three times.
   Fully Charged	When the bulb is in standby mode or is powered oft press the “+” or ” buttons.	The light will output 3200K at 10% brightness for three seconds.
   Switch to Standard (AC) Mode	Simultaneously press the power button, the ‘+’ button, and the ” button.	The light will emit green at 30% output, then gradually dim to 0%.
   Switch to Battery (DC) Mode	Simultaneously press the power button, the “+” button, and the ” button.	The light gradually fades Into a green glow from 0% to 30% brightness.
   Checking AC Mode	When not connected to AC power, to confirm that the light is in AC mode, long-press the power button for 3 seconds.	The light will pulse green at 10% brightness 3 times.
   Checking the Battery Charge Level	You can check the B7c charge level in any mode. To perform a check, simultaneously press the “‘ and’-– buttons.	The bulb will pulse with blue light, with the number of pulses corresponding to its charge level. 1 Pulse = 0-20% 2 Pulses = 20-40% 3 Pulses = 40-60% 4 Pulses = 60-80% 5 Pulses = 80-100%

4. B7c¢ Power On/Off
   Press the power button in the center of the light to toggle the fixture on or off.
   When in “Standby Mode,” short-press the power button once to toggle the fixture on and off.
   To fully shut down the fixture or to turn it off from a shutdown state, long-press the power button for 3 seconds.
   When the bulb powers on from standby or off state, it will resume its previous settings.
5. B7c CCT Mode
   You can toggle through the six built-in CCT presets by double -press­ ing power button: 2000K, 2700K, 3200K, 4300K, 5500K, 6500K. You can also adjust the B7¢’s CCT more precisely between 2,000K-10,000K using the Sidus Link App.
6. B7c Brightness
   You can toggle through ten steps of brightness adjustment using the onboard controls, or choose a precise output level using the Sidus Link App. Press the”+” button to increase the brightness or press the”” button to decrease the brightness. This will cycle between 10 dimming presets between 10% to 100%. You can also adjust the brightness more precisely using the Sidus Link App.
7. B7c Bluetooth Mode
   Simultaneously long-press the power button and the +” or”-” button for 5 seconds to reset the fixture’s Bluetooth configuration. When the Bluetooth Reset sequence initiates, the bulb will proceed to pulse red, green, then blue in sequence. Then you can connect to the B7c using the Sidus Link App.
8. B7c Power Supply Modes
   This fixture can operate in two different power supply modes Standard (AC) Mode and Battery (DC) Mode.
   Standard/AC Mode In Standard (AC) Mode, the bulb behaves as a regular light bulb and turns on when it receives power from a lamp socket (E26/E27). When the lamp the bulb is installed in is switched off, the bulb will also immediately turn off.
   Battery/DC Mode
   In Battery (DC) Mode, the bulb switches to its internal battery power when it does not receive any AC power from a lamp. Switching between these states causes the light to turn off for a brief moment, before resuming its previous settings.
   Switching Between Modes
   To switch between the two modes, simultaneously press the power button, the • +” button, and the • – • button. To signify that it is in Standard (AC) Mode, the bulb emits a green glow at 30% brightness, and then slowly fades to 0%. To signify that it is in Battery (DC) Mode, it gradually fades into a green glow from 0% to 30% brightness.
   Checking the Power Supply Mode
   To determine which mode the bulb is currently in, long-press the power button for 3 seconds. If the light pulses green three times, the bulb is in Standard (AC) Mode. If the light turns on at 10% brightness, then the fixture is in Battery (DC) Mode.
9. B7c Preventing Overheating
   The ambient operating temperature of the Accent B7c is 10 40C. This product utilizes a built-in lithium battery. To enhance the battery’s stability and longevity, we use high-temperature-resistant batteries, which can be used in an environment of-10 ~ 40°C.
   Keeping the ambient temperature well below 40C is recommended to ensure that the B7c does not experience any overheating issues. Facing the bulb upright also provides the best airflow; however, the B7c is operable in any position.
   If the light enters a “Battery Protection Mode,” it will be able to resume operation once the internal temperature of the components cools down.
   Standard/AC Mode
   In Standard (AC) Mode, if the bulb’s internal temperature exceeds 80°C, it enters a “Battery Protection Mode,” wherein the battery and LEDs are powered off to protect and cool the internal components.
   Battery/DC Mode
   In Battery (DC) Mode, if the bulb’s internal temperature exceeds 70C, the maximum output power of the light is reduced to 80%. Should the internal temperature continue to rise and exceed 73C, the light enters a “Battery Protection Mode,” wherein the battery and LEDs are powered off to protect and cool the internal components.
10. Sid us Link App Control
    1) Sidus Link App Control allows you to more precisely adjust all of the output settings of the Accent B7c, including fine-tuning CCT and brightness, in addition to accessing the light’s HSI color-tunability, and nine built-in lighting effects, including Paparazzi, Fireworks, Faulty Bulb, lightning, TV, Party, Pulsing, Cop Car, and Fire.
    2) Using the Sidus Link APP
    You can download the Sid we link app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store to enhance the light’s functionality. Please visit sidus.link/app/help for more details regarding how to use the app to control your Aputure Lights.
