Installing Brackets
Locate the adhesive strips included with your brackets. Peel off the protective backing from one side of the strip and firmly attach it to the bendable brackets. Then, flex the brackets to better fit the contours of your TV.
Setup Options -
LED Starting Placement
Instructions for the two setup options are available on pages 4 & 5. The diagram illustrates how to arrange the LED strip by selecting a bottom corner, then going up & around the perimeter until you return to the same starting bottom corner.
Choose the side that is most convenient for you; there is no preferred side. The red line represents the LED strip. The blue line represents the wire / USB-C at the beginning of the LED strip. IMPORTANT: Only choose one option.
Option 1 -
Left Sided Setup
Starting at the bottom left corner at the back of your TV, with the USB-C side of the LED strip, unravel the LED strip & peel off the protective backing to expose the adhesive. Adhere the strip following your TV’s edge: upwards to the top left, across to the top right, downwards to the bottom right, & back across to the bottom left. -
Cutting Excess LEDs
It’s likely you’ll now have excess LED strip which needs to be cut. The green circle on the diagram indicates the only place to cut the LED strip. You’re required to cut the LEDs to create a perfect 16:9 ratio rectangle on your TV’s perimeter. The green dotted line illustrated below indicates where to cut the strip.

side of the LED strip, unravel the LED strip & peel off the protective backing
to expose the adhesive. Adhere the strip following your TV’s edge: upwards to
the top right, across to the top left, downwards to the bottom left, & back
across to the bottom right.

App Settings
LED Strip Starting Corner
To calibrate your setup, open the Fancy LEDs app & tap on the Fancy Sync Box
icon. Then navigate to the settings tab & modify the ‘LED Strip Starting
Corner’ according to the setup option you selected—either left-sided or right-
sided. This ensures that the colors sync correctly with the screen & do not
appear mirrored. 
Scene Mode CEC
This particular switch enables you to decide if the LEDs should automatically
turn on or off with your TV, specifically when a scene mode from the ‘Scene
‘tab is activated. The Sync mode is permanently CEC enabled.
Sync Mode
Diffusion
Low, Medium, & High diffusion modes significantly affect the level of
reactivity in the LEDs. With Low mode, you’ll see a maximum of 4 colors at
once, Medium allows for 12 colors, & High displays as many colors as possible.
The speed of diffusion in each mode controls the transition rate from full
illumination to the off state, reducing flickering where necessary.
Voice Control
Tuya Platform
Upon completion of the setup within the Fancy LEDs app, navigate to your voice
control device’s app and search for ‘Toya’. Toya is the platform that enables
voice control compatibility with the Fancy Sync Box. It will subsequently
establish a connection with the Fancy LEDs app for seamless voice command
functionality.
FAQ
My phone will not connect to the app?
• Confirm you have a 2.4 GHz WiFi connection (confirm with modem manufacturer). • Check the app permissions in the settings of your phone & enable locations, WiFi & Bluetooth. • Remove the Fancy Sync Box icon from the app. • Remove the power cable, wait for 5 seconds, reinsert then hold the WiFi reset button 10 seconds to reset. • If it still does not connect, reattempt the steps above using a different mobile device.
My TV is not syncing with my LEDs?
You are required to connect a HDMI device into the input slot on the Fancy Sync Box. A compatible HDMI device is required for the syncing of the LEDs, integrated apps on the TV will not be synced. As such, if you would like to watch Netflix for example with synced LEDs, you will have to watch using a compatible HDMI device like an Xbox or Amazon Firestick. If you have a compatible HDMI device connected, make sure it is inserted into the ‘Input’ port & your TV / Monitor is connected to the ‘Output’ port.
The end section of the LED strip is not lighting up?
If the LED bulbs are not turning on at the end of your LED strip, or there is a section not working, you may have a malfunction. Please contact support.
