3. Setup

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface where the LED strip will be mounted is clean, dry, and smooth. Dust or uneven surfaces can affect the adhesive.
2. Unroll the LED Strip: Carefully unroll the entire 5-meter LED strip. Avoid kinking or twisting the strip.
3. Connect the Strip to the Controller: Connect the 4-pin connector of the LED strip to the corresponding 4-pin port on the RGB controller (usually a small white box attached to the adapter cable). Ensure the arrows on both connectors align.
4. Connect the Power Adapter: Plug the DC output of the 12V power adapter into the input port of the RGB controller.
5. Mount the LED Strip: Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip. Carefully press the strip onto the desired surface, applying even pressure along its length.
6. Plug into Power: Once the strip is securely mounted and all connections are made, plug the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

Use the included remote control to operate the LED strip:

• ON/OFF: Press the ON button to turn the lights on, and the OFF button to turn them off.
• Color Selection: Press the colored buttons (R, G, B, W, and other color swatches) to select a static color.
• Brightness Adjustment: Use the brightness up (▲) and brightness down (▼) buttons to adjust the intensity of the selected color or mode.
• Dynamic Modes:
  • FLASH: Cycles through colors rapidly.
  • STROBE: Flashes a single color.
  • FADE: Smoothly transitions between colors.
  • SMOOTH: Provides a gradual, continuous color change.

Ensure the remote control is pointed towards the IR receiver on the LED strip controller for optimal response.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect power before cleaning. Gently wipe the LED strip with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: If storing the LED strip, ensure it is clean and dry. Coil it loosely to prevent damage to the internal wiring. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the strip and connections for any signs of damage or wear.

6. Troubleshooting

• LED strip does not light up:
  • Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into both the wall outlet and the controller.
  • Ensure the 4-pin connector between the strip and controller is correctly aligned and fully inserted.
  • Verify the remote control batteries are functional and correctly inserted.
  • Press the ON button on the remote.
• Remote control is not working:
  • Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the IR receiver on the controller.
  • Replace the remote control battery if necessary.
  • Ensure the remote is pointed directly at the IR receiver.
• Colors are incorrect or inconsistent:
  • Check the 4-pin connector for proper alignment. Misalignment can cause incorrect color display.
  • Ensure the strip is not damaged.
