Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your LED strip lights:
- Prepare the Surface: Clean the surface where the LED strips will be installed. Ensure it is dry and free of dust or grease for optimal adhesive performance.
- Install Remote Battery: Open the battery compartment on the back of the 44-key IR remote control and insert a CR2025 button cell battery (not included), ensuring correct polarity.
- Connect the Strips: Connect the individual LED strip sections using the provided strip connector cables. Ensure the arrows on the connectors align with the '+' markings on the LED strips for proper electrical connection.
- Connect to USB Controller: Attach the assembled LED strip to the USB controller cable.
- Adhere the Strips: Peel off the protective backing from the double-sided tape on the back of the LED strips. Firmly press the strips onto the cleaned surface. For long-term use, consider reinforcing the adhesive with additional glue or by gently heating the tape with a hairdryer before application to improve adhesion.
- Cutting the Strips (Optional): The LED strips can be cut at designated marks (usually indicated by a scissor icon or copper pads) to fit specific lengths. Cut only along these marks to avoid damaging the circuit.
- Power On: Plug the USB controller into a 5V USB power source (e.g., TV USB port, USB wall adapter, power bank).

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strips do not light up. | No power, incorrect connection, remote battery depleted. | Ensure USB power source is active. Check all connections, especially arrow alignments. Replace remote battery. |
| Remote control not working. | Battery depleted, IR receiver blocked, remote too far. | Replace remote battery. Ensure clear line of sight between remote and IR receiver on the USB controller. Operate within 5-8 meters. |
| Colors are incorrect or inconsistent. | Incorrect connection, faulty strip section. | Verify all strip connector cables are correctly aligned (arrow to '+'). If one section is consistently problematic, it may be faulty. |
| Adhesive tape not sticking well. | Surface not clean, cold temperature. | Clean surface thoroughly. Gently heat the adhesive tape with a hairdryer before application to improve stickiness. Consider additional adhesive. |
