Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your GE Cync Smart LED Light Bulbs, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Ensure the bulb is cool and the power is off before cleaning. Wipe the bulb with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Environment: These bulbs are designed for indoor use only. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Firmware Updates: Regularly check the Cync App for available firmware updates to ensure your bulbs have the latest features and security enhancements.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GE Cync Smart LED Light Bulbs, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Bulb Not Connecting/Responding:
  • Ensure the bulb is securely screwed into the fixture and receiving power.
  • Verify your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Cync bulbs do not support 5GHz networks.
  • Check your router's proximity to the bulb. Signal strength can affect connectivity.
  • Restart the bulb by turning the light switch off and on.
  • If using Matter, ensure your Matter controller (e.g., Echo device) is updated and within range.
  • Re-attempt the setup process in the Cync App, ensuring you scan the QR code correctly.
• Dimming or Blinking Issues:
  • Ensure the bulb is not connected to a traditional dimmer switch, as this can cause flickering or damage. Control dimming exclusively through the Cync App or voice commands.
  • Check for any scheduled routines in the Cync App that might be causing unexpected behavior.
  • If the issue persists, try resetting the bulb (refer to the Cync App for specific reset instructions).
• Voice Control Not Working:
  • Confirm that your Cync account is properly linked to your voice assistant app (Alexa, Google Home, etc.).
  • Ensure your voice assistant device is online and functioning correctly.
  • Verify the names of your bulbs or groups in the Cync App match what you are saying to the voice assistant.
