3. Positioning the IR Receiver:

   For optimal performance, ensure the IR receiver is positioned where it has a clear line of sight to the remote control. Infrared remotes require direct aiming at the receiver for commands to be registered effectively. The effective range is approximately 30 feet.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your remote control:

• Keep the remote control clean and dry. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• If the remote's performance degrades, replace the battery. The remote uses a CR2025 coin cell battery.
• Avoid dropping the remote or subjecting it to strong impacts.

5. Troubleshooting

• Remote Control Not Responding:
  • Ensure the transparent plastic insulation tab has been removed from the battery compartment.
  • Verify that the remote control is aimed directly at the IR receiver on the LED strip controller. Obstructions can block the signal.
  • Check the battery. If the remote is still unresponsive, replace the CR2025 coin cell battery.
• Incorrect Color Output:
  • If the buttons do not control the correct colors (e.g., pressing Red shows Green), perform a color calibration:
    1. Press the OFF button on the remote to turn off the light strip.
    2. Press the FADE7 button (located at the bottom right of the dynamic modes section). The light strip should flash.
    3. Press the ON button to turn the light strip back on. The buttons should now control the correct colors.
    4. If the issue persists, repeat the calibration steps.
