Start from the auto-sensing mode while the lights are not on.
Change one setting at a time, it returns to auto-sensing mode automatically after one setting is saved.
There are 4 settings in the following order:
Press SET once to enter the first Brightness setting. Press SET again to move to the next setting. Press SET in Delay Time setting goes back to Brightness setting.
Within each setting, when the desired value is reached, press PWR button to select/save that value for its setting, it will then automatically return back to Auto-sensing mode.
Press and hold PWR at any time to cancel/exit settings mode without any change.
Operation example:
If the current light color is blue and you want to change it to cool white color:
① If the light is on, press PWR button to return to auto-sensing mode with lights off.
② Press SET button to enter the first Brightness setting.
③ Press SET again to skip it and move to the RGB color setting.
④ Press SET again to skip it and move to the White color setting.
⑤ Now the lights are changing from cool white smoothly to warm white then back to cool white repeatedly.
When the desired white color temperature is reached (such as cool white), press PWR button to select it.
(After that, it will automatically save that cool white color setting and return to the auto-sensing mode).
If you pressed SET button too many times by mistake which caused the White color setting is skipped and moved to the Delay time setting,
just press SET button 3 more times to cycle back to the White color setting.
If at any time you want to exit the Settings mode without any change and return to auto-sensing mode,
just press and hold PWR button until the lights turn off.
If you are using firmware v1.1, please recharging aniLight when it is powered on. If it could not be powered on by its battery, try to power it on by the cable power when it is being recharged.
