3. Setup Guide

3.1 Planning Your Design

Before mounting, plan your desired layout. Nanoleaf Shapes panels are modular and can be connected in various configurations. Ensure your design allows for connection to an existing Nanoleaf Shapes Smarter Kit.

3.2 Connecting Panels

1. Insert a linker into a slot on the side of one Nanoleaf panel.
2. Align the second panel with the exposed end of the linker and push it firmly into place until it clicks.
3. Repeat this process for all panels to create your desired shape.

3.3 Mounting to a Surface

The panels use adhesive mounting tape for installation on flat surfaces. No drilling is required.

1. Clean the desired wall surface thoroughly to ensure it is free of dust and grease.
2. Attach the mounting tape to the back of each panel, ensuring it is securely pressed.
3. Carefully position the first panel on the wall and press firmly for 30 seconds.
4. Continue mounting subsequent panels, ensuring they are properly connected with linkers and pressed firmly onto the wall.

Important: Ensure the panels are connected to a Nanoleaf Shapes Smarter Kit for power and control after mounting.
