Follow the detailed, step-by-step instructions provided in the included manual. The assembly is divided into phases, with blocks organized in numbered bags corresponding to each phase. Pay close attention to the diagrams and part counts for each step.

4.1. General Building Tips

• Sort blocks by color and type for easier access.

4.2. Integrating the LED Lighting System

The LED lighting system is integrated during the main assembly process. The instruction manual provides specific steps for routing and connecting the delicate wires. Extreme care is required to avoid damaging the wires or connectors.

• Wire Routing: Follow the manual's diagrams precisely for routing wires through the model's structure. Ensure wires are not pinched or excessively bent.
• Connector Sockets: Check that connectors are correctly installed and that the internal pins of the connector sockets are straight and properly working.
• Double-Sided Tape: Some lighting components may require double-sided tape for secure placement. Ensure the tape is applied to the component before peeling off the protective film.

6. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and longevity of your JMBricklayer Pearl Pirate Ship Model Kit:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. Avoid using water or cleaning solutions, as these may damage the blocks or electrical components.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or warping of the plastic.
• Handling: Handle the model with care, especially the masts and rigging, to avoid accidental damage.

7. Troubleshooting the Lighting System

Due to the small size of the lighting accessories, they are easily damaged by improper installation. The following are common causes of failure and troubleshooting steps:

1. Lights Not Turning On:
   • Ensure all lighting accessories are correctly installed onto the expansion board.
   • Verify the power supply (battery box) is connected and switched ON.
   • Check that the connectors are correctly installed as shown in the picture.
2. Individual Lights Not Working:
   • Check the internal pins of the connector sockets. A bent or improperly seated pin can be a fault.
   • Ensure that the wires are not disconnected or broken from the solder joints.

If you have checked each string of lights according to the guide above and the lights still do not light up, please contact customer service for assistance.
