EN Instruction for Use
Thank you for buying Philips LivingColors!
LivingColors has been especially designed to create your own ambiance
at home, through colour and light.
If 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
50 cm), insert the connection plug into the lamp (drawing b), and
then plug it into the wall socket. LivingColors will show a short
introduction to the colour 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 colour on the colour wheel. You can move
your finger over the colour wheel to refine the colour (drawing d)
-Changing the colour saturation (adding more white to the current
colour). Press on ( ) for a deep colour or on ( ) for a more
pastel colour (drawing e). Ultimately you will reach the white
colour.
-Dimming. Increase ( ) or decrease ( ) the light intensity via the
dimming buttons (drawing f).
5. Switch off LivingColors by pressing the "0" (off) button briefly.
LivingColors will remember your last colour setting for your next
usage (drawing c).
Do more with LivingColors:
1.Automatic colour-changing mode
Sweep your finger around the colour wheel (one full circle) and
briefly press on "I" ("On"); LivingColors will then turn into the
automatic colour-changing mode: the lamp will start changing
colours automatically.
You can adjust the speed with which colours change. Speed can
be adjusted clockwise, from fast (dark blue colour on the colour
wheel) to slow (purple) (drawing g). You can tap anywhere on the
colour wheel. While in the automatic colour changing mode, you
can also adjust the saturation and brightness of the colours.
To switch back to static colour mode, sweep around the
colour wheel again, then press "0". Alternatively, you can switch
LivingColors off "0" and on "I" again. (drawing c)
2.Linking LivingColors lamps
1. You can operate multiple LivingColors with one remote control.
The LivingColors lamps will then project the same colour (or
will change colours 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 quickly flash green. 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 (
) 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 colour or automatic colour-changing mode)

Remove the plug from the wall socket.

Problem
Possible cause
Solution
LivingColors is not providing light
The lamp is not plugged in
correctly
Check the connections of the cord to the lamp
Check that the plug is correctly placed in the wall socket
Remote control is not working
See the following section
LivingColors does not respond to
the remote control
Remote control is not working
Check the batteries in the remote control. The batteries should
be correctly placed (+ and -) and should be charged. If the
remote control is still not working, try replacing the batteries.
Remote control is not linked to
the lamp
Link the remote to the LivingColors lamp by following the
procedure under “2. Linking LivingColors lamps”
Heavy traffic on a wireless data
network (e.g. wireless router)
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 ( ) 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,
preferably from another position.
I cannot link multiple LivingColors
lamps
“I” button wasn’t pressed long
enough
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.
The LivingColors lamps belong to
different versions
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).
I cannot start the automatic colour
changing mode
The sweep movement was not
correct
If the colour changes to another (static) colour, but no colour
loop starts, then your sweep movement was not correct; please
try again
LivingColors is still not working to
the correct standards
