LivingColors Instruction for Use Thank you for buying Philips LivingColors!
LivingColors has been especially designed to create your own ambiance at home, through color and light. Using LivingColors for the first time, please read these instructions carefully and save them for future reference. By following our guidelines, you will enjoy the full functionality of Philips LivingColors. Important:
- Carefully remove the parts from the packaging.
- Check whether all parts are available. Getting started:
1. Open the battery compartment of the remote control by sliding the button at the back. Insert 3 AAA batteries (+ and as indicated) (drawing a). 2. Place LivingColors at a selected location on a flat and stable surface. Direct LivingColors towards the wall (the optimal distance is 20 inch), insert the connection plug into the lamp (drawing b), and then plug it into the wall socket. LivingColors will show a short introduction of the color possibilities. 3. Switch on LivingColors by briefly pressing the I (on) on the on/off button placed on the remote control (drawing c). 4. Create your own ambiance by:
- Touching the desired color on the color wheel. You can move your finger over the color wheel to refine the color (drawing d)
- Changing the color saturation (adding more white to the current color). Press on (logo saturation up) for a deep color or on (logo saturation down) for a more pastel color
(drawing a). Ultimately you will reach the white color.
- Dimming. Increase (logo dim up) or decrease (logo dim down) the light intensity via the 5. Switch off LivingColors by pressing the 0 (off) button briefly. LivingColors will remember your last color setting for your next usage (drawing c). dimming buttons (drawing f). Do more with LivingColors:
1. Automatic color-changing mode Sweep your finger around the color wheel (one full circle) and briefly press on I (On);
LivingColors will then turn into the automatic color-changing mode: the lamp will start changing colors automatically. You can adjust the speed with which colors change. Speed can be adjusted clockwise, from fast
(dark blue color on the color wheel) to slow (purple) (drawing g). You can tap anywhere on the color wheel. While in the automatic color changing mode, you can also adjust the saturation and brightness of the colors. To switch back to static color mode, sweep around the color wheel again, then press 0. Alternatively, you can switch LivingColors off 0 and on I again. (drawing a) 2. Linking LivingColors lamps 1. You can operate multiple LivingColors with one remote control. The LivingColors lamps will then project the same color (or will change colors simultaneously). In order to link several LivingColors to one remote control, bring the remote close to the Philips logo on the top of the lamp and press on I (On). LivingColors will flash 3 times, and then shortly flash in green color. You can release the button now. The linked lamps will turn to the last setting of the remote control.
- Repeat this operation for each LivingColors lamp that you want to link with the others.
- To use the LivingColors separately again, link it to another remote control in the same way as described above. 2. It is also possible to control one LivingColors lamp with several remote controls. In order to do so, first reset one of the remotes by pressing and holding the 0 and the (icon brightness down) buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. Then hold two remote controls close to each other and press the I button on both for 7 seconds. You can now link the new remote control to the LivingColors in the same way as described above.
- LivingColors that are linked to two (or more) remote controls can be controlled by either remote control.
- To unlink a remote control from a LivingColors, hold the remote control close to the LivingColors and press 0 for three seconds. The LivingColors will flash 3 times. Hold the 0 button a little longer and it will slowly fade to off. The remote control and the LivingColors are now unlinked. 3. Compatibility with timers You can use LivingColors with a timer (not included). When switched on with a timer, the LivingColors will show your last setting (static color or automatic color-changing mode) Fault tracing:
Problem LivingColors is not providing light Possible cause The lamp is not plugged in correctly LivingColors does not respond to the remote control Remote control is not working Remote control is not working Remote control is not linked to the lamp Heavy traffic on a wireless data network
(e.g. wireless router) Solution Check connections of the cord to the lamp Check if the plug is correctly placed in the wall socket See the following section Check the batteries in the remote control. The batteries should be rightly placed (+ and -) and should be loaded. If the remote control is still not working, try replacing the batteries. Link the remote to the LivingColors lamp by following the procedure under 2. Linking LivingColors lamps Move LivingColors away from the wireless access point Make sure that all LivingColors connected to this remote are on; otherwise they will not respond after this action. Press simultaneously on 0 and (icon saturation up) for at least 5 seconds to switch to another channel (all LivingColors will flash green to confirm). You can repeat this procedure up to 3 times, preferrably from another position. I cannot link multiple LivingColors lamps I button wasnt pressed long enough The LivingColors lamps belong to different versions Redo the procedure under 2. Linking LivingColors lamps. If it was linked successfully, the lamp will give 1 green flash;
if the linking was unsuccessful it will revert to its previous settings immediately without flashing green. Check if the lamps you cannot link both have a G2 sign on the back of the remote control and at the bottom of the lamp itself. If one of the lamps does not have it, it cannot be linked with another lamp that does (but it can still be linked with other lamps that do not have the G2 sign). If color changes to another (static) color, but no color loop starts, then your sweep movement was not correct; please try again Contact the Philips Lighting Contact center
