Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to properly install your Govee RGBIC LED Strip Light:

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Use the provided alcohol prep pads to wipe down the area where the LED strips will be adhered. Allow the surface to dry completely.
2. Plan the Layout: Before peeling off the adhesive, plan the desired path for your LED strips. This helps ensure proper placement and avoids re-adhering, which can weaken the adhesive.
3. Attach the LED Strips: Carefully peel off the protective backing from the adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip. Press the strip firmly onto the prepared surface, working in small sections to avoid bubbles or misalignment.
4. Connect the Control Box: Connect the LED strip(s) to the control box. Ensure the connectors are securely fastened.
5. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the control box, and then plug the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet.
6. Download the Govee Home App: Search for "Govee Home" in your smartphone's app store (iOS or Android) and download the application.
7. Pair Your Device: Open the Govee Home App, create an account or log in, and follow the on-screen instructions to add your new RGBIC LED Strip Light. This typically involves enabling Bluetooth/Wi-Fi and selecting your device from a list.
