Precautions

1) Do not use/turn on the strip light in the spool for long periods of time to avoid overheating and damage to the strip light.

2) The minimum bending diameter of the strip light is 5cm. Do not wrap the strip light around objects with a diameter of less than 5cm or fold the strip light in half.

3) We recommended to use transparent double-sided adhesive tape to reinforce the corners where the strip light is installed to avoid the light falling off.

4) The controller can only support up to 10 meters of strip lights (including the strip light and the extension). Do not attempt to connect additional strip lights to this controller.

5) This strip light is not waterproof, please do not immerse the strip light in liquid.

6) For optimal lighting effects in Music Mode, place the audio source 30cm (1ft) from the control box.

7) Trimming of the light strip(s) should be avoided as it will result in a delayed boot-up process and certain Pixel FX will be incomplete, including Snake, Timing, Pinball, Clock, and Fuse.
