Cutting the tape light
IMPORTANT: Make sure to observe polarity when making connections, positive to positive and negative to negative.
Check to see that the wire colors and the polarity markings printed on the tape line up.
□ To use the included LED snap connectors (A), cut the LED tape with scissors in the center of a copper pad
(position A) as shown.
□ The tape can also be cut at silver solder joints (position B), but this cut point should be used for soldered
connections only.

□ Open the lid of the connector opposite the wire.
□ Peel about ¼ inch of the paper from the LED strip adhesive backing at the connection point.
□ Use a gentle side-to-side motion to slide the strip into the connector, making sure the tape slides under the
internal connector contact points.
□ Close the connector door rmly.
□ Perform a power test to be sure the connection is secure. If the LEDs icker or do not light, repeat the
steps in this guide.
