4. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions:

• Ensure the power supply is AC 110-120V. Using an incorrect voltage may damage the product and pose a safety risk.
• The LED strip is waterproof (IP67), but the power adapter and IR receiver are NOT waterproof. Protect them from moisture and direct water exposure.
• Always disconnect power before installing, cutting, or performing any maintenance on the LED strip.
• Do not bend the strip sharply or apply excessive force, as this may damage the internal circuitry.
• Ensure all connections are secure to prevent electrical shorts. Use waterproof tape to bundle connections between the LED strip, power adapter, and end cap for outdoor use.
• Keep the remote control away from water and extreme temperatures.

5. Installation Guide

Follow these steps to install your KERTME LED Strip Lights:

1. Plan Your Layout: Determine where you want to install the LED strip. Measure the length required.
2. Cut (if necessary): If a shorter length is needed, cut the LED strip only at the designated cutting marks (every 0.5m or 1.64ft). These marks are clearly indicated on the strip.
3. Connect the Strip: Carefully align the pins of the LED strip connector with the corresponding holes on the power adapter's IR receiver. Ensure a firm and correct connection.
4. Secure the Strip: Use the provided LED light holders to secure the strip in place. For permanent installations, additional mounting methods may be used.
5. Install End Cap: Place the end cap securely on the unconnected end of the LED strip to protect it from dust and moisture.
6. Power Connection: Plug the power adapter into a standard AC 110-120V electrical outlet.
7. Test: Use the remote control to test the lights before finalizing the installation.

6. Operating Instructions

The LED strip lights are controlled using the included 24-key IR remote controller. Ensure the remote's IR emitter is pointed towards the IR receiver on the power adapter for proper function. The remote requires 2x AAA batteries (not included).

The included 24-key infrared remote controller and its receiver, which are used to manage the LED strip's colors, modes, and brightness. Note that the power adapter is not waterproof.

Remote Control Functions:

• ON/OFF: Power button to turn the lights on or off.
• Brightness Control: ↑ and ↓ buttons to increase or decrease brightness.
• Color Selection: 12 dedicated color buttons for direct color selection (e.g., Red, Green, Blue, White, etc.).
• Dynamic Modes:
  • FLASH: Rapidly cycles through colors.
  • STROBE: Flashes a single color.
  • FADE: Smoothly transitions between colors.
  • SMOOTH: Gradual change between colors.
  Note: Pressing a dynamic mode button quickly two times may result in a different effect.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your LED strip lights:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strip with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, ensuring the strip is unplugged and completely dry before reconnecting power.
• Connection Check: Periodically inspect all connections (strip to adapter, adapter to outlet) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion or damage.
• Environmental Protection: While the strip is waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion or exposure to harsh chemicals. Ensure the non-waterproof components (power adapter, IR receiver) remain dry.
• Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, coil them loosely and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
