INSTALLATION
STEP 1Determine where you will install the LED Light Strip.
- a. Make sure you install close enough to a power outlet (Power adapter cord is 6 feet and controller cable is 3 feet).
- b. Clean the mounting surface with a clean cloth and rubbing alcohol. Be sure to let this surface dry before installation.
- c. Note: For best mounting results, place adhesive onto desired surface with one attempt. Reapplying multiple times will not guarantee secure mounting onto surface.
STEP 2Peel off the beginning of the adhesive backing and firmly stick the LED Light Strip onto the surface. Peel off more of the adhesive backing as you mount the LED Strip, pressing on each section of the strip for 10 seconds as you place it
Optional 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 3Plug the power adapter into a power outlet. If you have already connected your device it will automatically rejoin the network when you power it on.
STEP 4Manually pressing the controller button will cycle the LED Light Strip through a few colors, preset modes or turn off. These settings can also be changed in the app.
See troubleshooting on page 12 for information on cutting the strip.

My device won’t connect to my network!

- You may need to reset your device if you are having trouble. Check out page 2 for the location of your device’s reset button.
- To allow the app to locate the network, you may need to allow permissions for location and turn on your Bluetooth.
- If you are not certain what type of network you have, contact your Internet Service Provider and ask them to create a separate, dedicated 2.4GHz network. You can also do this manually in your router’s settings.

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 want to cut the strip into a smaller length, follow these instructions to do so safely and effectively:
- Make sure that the strip is disconnected from the power supply.
- Measure the length that you require from the cable/controller side*.
- Cut through the middle of the gold connectors following the scissor icon arrow.
- Discard the piece that you 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.
