5. Installation Guide

5.1 Surface Preparation

Before installation, ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Dust, oil, or moisture can reduce the adhesive's effectiveness.

5.2 Applying the LED Strip

1. Carefully peel off the protective backing from the 3M adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip.
2. Press the LED strip firmly onto the desired surface, ensuring good contact along the entire length.
3. Avoid repositioning the strip multiple times, as this can weaken the adhesive.

5.3 Connecting Power

1. Connect the USB plug of the inline controller cable to a compatible 5V 2A (or higher) USB power adapter (not included) or a USB port on a device.
2. Ensure the connection is secure.

5.4 Cutting the LED Strip (Optional)

The LED strip can be cut to your desired length at designated cutting marks, typically indicated by a copper pad and a scissor icon. Each cutting unit is approximately 0.39 inches (10mm).

• Only cut along the marked lines to avoid damaging the circuit.
• Once cut, the trimmed section will not be functional unless re-connected with appropriate connectors (not included).
