The controller features an auto-save function, which remembers the last selected mode, color, brightness, and speed settings when the power is cycled.
6. Pairing Instructions
The AIBOO RF controller supports two pairing modes: 1-to-1 (one remote controls one controller) and 1-to-many (one remote controls multiple controllers). The default mode is 1-to-many.
6.1. 1-to-1 Pairing Mode
To pair one remote exclusively with one controller:
- Ensure only the specific LED controller you wish to pair is powered on. Disconnect power from any other controllers.
- Within 5 seconds of powering on the controller, press and hold the 'COLOR-' and 'BRIGHT-' buttons on the remote simultaneously.
- The connected lights will flash, indicating successful 1-to-1 pairing. This remote will now only control this specific controller.
Video 6.1: This video demonstrates the process of setting up 1-to-1 pairing for the AIBOO RGB LED controllers. It shows how to isolate one controller, press specific buttons on the remote, and then repeat for a second controller to ensure each remote controls only one set of lights.

6.2. 1-to-Many Pairing Mode
To pair one remote with multiple controllers (default mode):
- Ensure all LED controllers you wish to pair are powered on.
- Within 5 seconds of powering on the controllers, press and hold the 'White' button on the remote.
- The connected lights will flash, indicating successful 1-to-many pairing. This remote will now control all paired controllers.
You can switch between 1-to-1 and 1-to-many pairing modes repeatedly as needed by following the respective instructions.

8. Troubleshooting
- Lights not responding to remote:
- Check if the plastic insulating tab has been removed from the remote's battery compartment.
- Ensure the remote battery (CR2025) is correctly inserted and has sufficient power. Replace if necessary.
- Verify that the controller is properly connected to the power supply and the LED lights.
- Re-attempt the pairing process (Section 6) to ensure the remote is correctly linked to the controller(s).
- Lights not turning on:
- Confirm that the power adapter is plugged into a working outlet and providing 12V DC power.
- Check all connections between the power supply, controller, and LED lights for secure fit and correct polarity (aligning arrows).
- Test the LED lights with a different controller or power supply if available, to isolate the issue.
- Incorrect colors or flickering:
- Ensure the 4-pin connector between the controller and the LED strip is fully inserted and the arrows are aligned. A loose connection can cause color issues.
- Verify that your LED strip is an RGB type compatible with this controller.
