INSTALLATION

TIPS

Cut Only Along the Cutting Lines of Light Strip

You can custom tailor the length of your Light Strip with scissors.

Unplug the Light Strip and cut only along the cutting lines or your

Light Strip will no longer function.

Avoid Bending on LED Beads

The bend should be avoided just in the position of the LED

components, so as not to damage the product and aect the life of the

product.

Avoid Sharp Corners

Use gentle weeps when bending Light Strip around corners and avoid

creases as they may cause damage.

Avoid Sharp Turns

Carefully roll the Light Strip into a clover or use a gentle hill when

making 90° turns like those need behind a TV. Sharp bends can damage

your Light Strip.

Step 1. Choose Location

Choose a location that avoids static and eases away from

splashing water. Find a clean, dry and smooth surface, then

wipe o the dust.

Note: Choose a location that avoids static and stays away from water splashing.

Step 2. Remove Adhesive Tape

Unplug the Light Strip rst. Slowly peel away the 3M adhesive

backing and take it out bit by bit.

Note: Do not peel o the tape under the 3M adhesive backing.
