1. Prepare the Surface: Choose a clean, flat surface for mounting the magnetic holder.
2. Attach Holder: Peel off the protective film from the adhesive backing of the magnetic holder. Firmly press the holder onto the desired position on the wall or surface.
3. Install Remote: After installing the batteries (as per Section 5.1), align the remote with the magnetic holder. The remote will snap into place due to the magnetic connection.

The magnetic holder allows for easy removal and reattachment of the remote for portable use or battery replacement.

5.3 Linking/Pairing with Lights

To control your MiBoxer/Mi-Light compatible lighting products, the remote must be linked to them. The linking process typically involves these steps:

1. Ensure the light fixture or controller you wish to pair is powered off.
2. Power on the light fixture or controller.
3. Within 3 seconds of powering on, press the 'ON' button (the circle at the bottom) for the desired zone on the B3 remote three times. For example, to link to Zone 1, press the 'ON' button for Zone 1 three times.
4. The light should flash three times slowly, indicating successful linking.

If the light does not flash, repeat the linking process. If you wish to unlink a light, power it on and within 3 seconds, press the 'ON' button for the linked zone five times. The light will flash ten times quickly, indicating successful unlinking.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Basic Controls

• Zone Selection: Press the 'ON' button (circle) for zones 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select a specific zone. Press the 'All' button to control all linked zones simultaneously.
• Power On/Off: Press the 'ON' button (circle) for a selected zone or 'All' to turn lights on. Press the 'OFF' button (vertical line) for a selected zone or 'All' to turn lights off.
• Color Selection: Slide your finger across the top color touch slider to select a desired color.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Battery Replacement

When the remote's performance degrades or it becomes unresponsive, it is likely time to replace the batteries. Follow the steps in Section 5.1 to replace the two AAA batteries. Always use fresh, high-quality batteries for optimal performance.

7.2 Cleaning

To clean the remote, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the device.

8. Troubleshooting

• Remote not responding:
  • Check battery level and replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the remote is within the 100-foot control range of the receiver.
  • Verify there are no significant obstructions (e.g., thick walls, metal objects) between the remote and the receiver.
• Lights not linking/unlinking:
  • Ensure the linking/unlinking steps (Section 5.3) are followed precisely, especially the timing (within 3 seconds of power-on).
  • Confirm the light fixture/controller is compatible with MiBoxer/Mi-Light 2.4G series.
• Inconsistent control:
  • Interference from other 2.4G devices might occur. Try to minimize other wireless activity or reposition the remote/receiver.
