• Quick Start Guide

What You Need:

• Energizer Connect App

Before setup, make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz WiFi network where your device will be placed. You may also need to turn on location ? and Bluetooth  to find nearby networks.

CONNECT THE DEVICE

STEP 1: Download the App

Download the free Energizer Connect app from the App Store (for iPhones) or Google Play Store (for Android phones). The app interface shows options to download for iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play).

STEP 2: Create Account and Connect to WiFi

Make sure your mobile device is connected to your 2.4GHz WiFi network. Open the app and click "Create Account" by following the on-screen instructions. After initial sign-in, the app remembers your password. You can also manually log out under Settings. A screen shows options to register by email, enter email, and get a verification code. A warning indicates you may need to check your Spam folder for the verification code.

STEP 3: Prepare for Pairing

Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. The light strip should start flashing for pairing mode. The LED Light Strip should start blinking red rapidly (about 4 times per second) for EZ pairing mode.

LED Behavior:

• Flashing Rapidly: EZ Pairing
• Flashing Slowly: AP Pairing

Button Operation:

• Single Click: Cycle through Color Options
• Double Click: On/Off
• Hold for 5 Seconds: Enter/Cycle through Pairing Modes

Note: Do not turn on the LED strip and leave it on for an extended period while it is still wound up in the spool wheel.

STEP 4: Add Device

After logging in, click the ➕ icon on the top right of the screen and select "Add device".

STEP 5: Confirm Pairing Mode

Select the "Lighting" category and confirm that the LED Light Strip is still rapidly blinking. Click "Confirm indicator rapidly blink". A help note suggests switching between pairing modes via troubleshooting page 12. The screen shows options for "Cancel", "Net Pairing Mode", and "Confirm Device is in Pairing Mode". It also provides instructions if the light is NOT blinking rapidly (power on/off 5 times). Pairing mode may timeout after 3 minutes.

STEP 6: Enter WiFi Password

Confirm that the displayed WiFi network is your 2.4GHz WiFi network, enter your WiFi password, and click "Confirm". A help note provides a link to Connect FAQs on the website for information about 2.4GHz WiFi networks.

STEP 7: Connection Complete

Your LED Light Strip will now be connected to the network. Confirm the settings for your device and then click "Done". You can put your LED Light Strip directly in a room by selecting one of the available rooms. Click the ✏️ icon to change the name of the product. The app shows a "PROCESSING TIME" of 1-2 minutes, a "Connecting..." screen, and finally an "Added successfully" screen listing rooms like "Living Room", "Bedroom", etc. Your Energizer® Smart LED Light Strip is now ready to use. You can change color, dimness, and set schedules. For FAQs and instruction videos, visit https://www.energizerconnect.com.

INSTALLATION

STEP 1: Determine Placement

Determine where you will install the LED Light Strip. Ensure it is close enough to a power outlet (Power adapter cord is 6 feet and controller cable is 3 feet). Clean the mounting surface with a clean cloth and rubbing alcohol, letting it dry before installation. For best mounting results, place adhesive onto the desired surface with one attempt; reapplying multiple times may not guarantee secure mounting.

STEP 2: Mount the Strip

Peel off the beginning of the adhesive backing and firmly stick the LED Light Strip onto the surface. Peel off more adhesive backing as you mount, pressing on each section for 10 seconds.

OPTIONAL: Use Mounting Clips

Using the included mounting clips and screws, and a Phillips head screwdriver (not included), install the mounting clips over the LED Light Strip in equal intervals.

STEP 3: Power On

Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. If your device was already connected, it will automatically rejoin the network when powered on.

STEP 4: Manual Control

Manually pressing the controller button will cycle the LED Light Strip through colors, preset modes, or turn it off. These settings can also be changed in the app.

See troubleshooting on page 14 for information on cutting the strip.

I want to cut the strip to fit a smaller space. What should I know?

Cutting the strip will void your warranty. However, if you need to cut the strip into a smaller length, follow these instructions safely and effectively:

1. Make sure the strip is disconnected from the power supply.
2. Measure the required length from the cable/controller side*.
3. Cut through the middle of the gold connectors following the ✂️ icon arrow.
4. Discard the piece cut from the end of the strip.

*TIP: Measure from the correct side, and measure twice before you cut. There is no way to reattach a cut strip.
