SETUP

COMPLETE SETUP BEFORE INSTALLATION

• Remove all components from the box.
• It is recommended to first pair your device in a location close to your router BEFORE installation.

NOTE:
If desired, you can operate the device with the controller and without pairing it to Wi-Fi and without the app. Advanced features like color customization, scheduling, and voice control will not be available. (See “How To Use” on page 6)

STEP 1

• Download the free Monster Smart Lighting app from the App Store (for iPhone) or Google Play Store (for Android phones).
• Open the Monster Smart Lighting app and create an account by following the on-screen instructions.

STEP 2
Before you start, we need to set up a few things for a smooth pairing process:

• Make sure your phone or tablet is successfully connected to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network that your device will be placed on.
• Enable Bluetooth and location – To find pairable devices and successfully connect them with your home network, you must allow access to location services when prompted.

NOTE
Most Smart devices are only set up on a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network for longer ranges and transmission through walls. Many newer home Wi-Fi networks are mixed networks that are set to 5GHz by default (ex: AT&T, Verizon) and you may need to access your router settings and/or call your Internet Service Provider to create a separate 2.4GHz network.

STEP 3

• Connect the 12V 2A power adapter (included) and the light should turn on.
• Your device will power on into a dynamic lighting mode and can be controlled by pressing the button on the controller.
• To enter pairing mode or reset the device at any time, press and hold the button for 8 seconds.

STEP 4

• In the Monster Smart Lighting app, select the “+” and then “device” to add a new device.
  Allow permissions when prompted.

• Follow the on-screen instructions to add your device.

STEP 5
Once the pairing process is complete, your device will receive any available updates from the network.

• Please Note: Installing the newest and best features may take up to 5 minutes.

CONGRATULATIONS!
Your device is now connected and ready to use. You can use the app to adjust settings, create custom lighting effects, set schedules, setup voice control, and more!

Note:
Now that the setup is complete, your mobile device no longer needs Bluetooth enabled or to stay on your 2.4GHz network to operate your lighting device. Using the Monster Smart Lighting app, you can control your device from anywhere!

INSTALLATION

STEP 1
Determine where you will install the LED Strip.

• The location is close to a power source.
• The mounting surface is smooth and clean.

Clean the mounting surface with a clean cloth and rubbing alcohol to remove any dust or oils that will weaken the adhesive. Be sure to let this surface dry before installation.

NOTE:
This adhesive is not recommended for use on unpainted brick, raw wood, or uneven/bumpy surfaces such as textured wallpaper. In these cases, please ALSO use the mounting clips.

STEP 2
Peel off the beginning of the adhesive backing and firmly stick the LED 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.

TIP:
For best mounting results, place adhesive onto the desired surface with ONE attempt. Reapplying multiple times will not guarantee secure mounting onto the surface.

STEP 3
Use the included cable clip to help support the weight of the controller and hold it in the desired installation position. Insert the cable into the clip either before or after the controller, wherever it will provide the most support, then peel off the adhesive backing and secure it in place.

OPTIONAL (Recommended for unsound surfaces)

• Using the included mounting clips and screws, and a Phillips head screwdriver (not included), install the mounting clips over the LED Strip in equal intervals.
• If mounting around a corner or bend, it is recommended to install one clip on each side of the corner.

STEP 4
Connect the adapter cord to the light strip, then plug the adapter into a powered outlet. The LED Strip will automatically reconnect to the paired Wi-Fi network and will now be ready to use!
