Quick Troubleshooting
Phenomenon | Check the product | Troubleshooting |
The switch indicator does not light up. | 1. Check if the matching power adapter indicator is lit. | Make sure the adapter is well contacted with the power plug. |
2. When using a lithium battery, ensure there is no "low power" protection. | Charge the battery before using it. | |
The brightness / color temperature knob is out of control. | Check if the mode is set to slave mode; brightness and color temperature cannot be controlled in slave mode. | Press the "MODE" button once to switch the mode from slave mode to master mode. |
The product is in the "ON" state, but the display and lights are not on. | Check if the product is turned "OFF" by the APP on the mobile phone. | Press the "ON/OFF" button once again. |
APP cannot connect / cannot control. | Check if the WiFi is connected in master mode, if the WiFi is successfully connected, and if "Connected" is displayed on the APP. | Normal steps: 1. Switch to master mode after booting; 2. Successfully connect to WiFi; 3. Open the APP, and the connection will be successful. |
WiFi is successfully connected, but the device cannot connect to the APP. | Check if the network being used by the mobile phone is the connected WiFi network, and if it has been switched to use external network data access. | Reconnect the device WiFi, close the use of other network data for external network access, and restart the APP. |
In RGB mode, the lamp beads have no RGB color. | Check if the saturation (SAT) value is too low or 0. The difference is most obvious in color when the saturation value is 100. | 1. In the main control mode / self-control mode, adjust the saturation value with the multifunctional knob. 2. Connect to the APP in WIFI mode and adjust the saturation value through the APP. |
