Safety Information
- Ensure the power source is DC 5V USB. Using an incorrect voltage can damage the product and pose a safety risk.
- This product is designed for indoor use only (IP30 rated) and is not water-resistant. Avoid exposure to water or high humidity.
- Do not bend the LED strip sharply or apply excessive force, as this may damage the internal circuitry.
- Only cut the LED strip at designated cutting marks to ensure proper functionality. Cutting at any other point will render the cut section unusable.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets. The low voltage design enhances safety, but proper handling is always recommended.
- Disconnect power before any installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
Package Contents
- 1 x FCOB USB LED Strip Light (6.56FT / 2 meters)
- 1 x DC 5V USB Plug (integrated with the strip)
- Double-sided adhesive tape (pre-applied on the strip)
Setup and Installation
- Preparation: Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Measure the desired length for your LED strip.
- Cutting (Optional): If a shorter length is required, locate the designated cutting marks (usually indicated by a copper pad and scissor icon) on the LED strip. Use sharp scissors to cut precisely at these marks. The remaining strip will function normally.

Operating Instructions
This FCOB USB LED Light Strip is designed for simple operation. Once properly installed and connected to a DC 5V USB power source, the light strip will illuminate.
- Power On/Off: The light strip will turn on when connected to a powered USB port and turn off when disconnected or when the USB power source is turned off.
- Brightness: This specific model (without dimmer) provides a fixed brightness level. To achieve dimming effects, an external USB dimmer controller (not included) would be required.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the LED strip is disconnected from power before cleaning. Gently wipe the strip with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
