Maintenance

The atomi Smart String Lights are designed for durability and minimal maintenance. The bulbs are made from thick, durable plastic, not glass, making them resistant to breakage.

• Cleaning: To clean the bulbs and string, gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the power is disconnected before cleaning.
• Storage: If storing the lights for an extended period, coil them neatly to prevent tangling and store in a dry, cool place.
• Weather Resistance: The lights are IPX7 rated for ingress protection, indicating they are waterproof and can handle rough weather. However, always ensure the power adapter and plug connections are protected from excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

• Lights not turning on: Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the lights are powered on via the app or voice command.
• Connectivity issues (lights offline/unresponsive):
