- Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strip with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Aigostar Smart LED Strip Light, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power, loose connection, faulty adapter. | Check power outlet. Ensure all connections (strip to controller, controller to adapter, adapter to wall) are secure and arrow-to-arrow aligned. Test with another power source if possible. |
| Remote control not working. | Battery depleted, remote out of range, IR sensor blocked. | Replace remote battery. Ensure remote is pointed directly at the IR receiver on the control box and within 26ft range. Remove any obstructions between the remote and receiver. |
| App cannot connect to lights. | Incorrect Wi-Fi, 5GHz Wi-Fi, poor signal, lights not in pairing mode. | Ensure your phone and lights are on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Check Wi-Fi signal strength. Reset the lights to pairing mode (refer to app instructions for specific steps). Restart your router. |
| Lights are not syncing with music. | Microphone sensitivity too low, incorrect mode selected. | Adjust microphone sensitivity in the Aigosmart App. Ensure the music rhythm mode is activated. Place the control box closer to the sound source. |
| Colors are incorrect or inconsistent. | Loose connection, damaged LEDs. | Check all connections for proper alignment and tightness. If only a section is affected, it might indicate damage to that segment. |
