Before You Get Started
Properly connecting your panels is critical for operation. Each panel has Input and Output ports.

App Setup and First Panel
- Download the Cync App.
- Connect the control box and power adapter to the first Hexagon Panel using the Input Port.
- Align the tab with the indentation on the cable and press the connector downwards to snap into the mounting bracket.
- Power on the panel. Keep lights on during installation to verify connections.
- Complete setup within the Cync App.
Wall Preparation
- Clean the wall with the provided cleaning wipe and let it dry.

- Use the layout templates to create your design on the wall. Peel the backing off the adhesive and stick the template to the wall.
- Ensure each layout template touches at least one flat side of another template.
- Adjust until satisfied with the design.
Installing Panels
Installing the First Panel:


- Ensure the control box is connected.
- Determine the Output Port to connect to the next panel.
- Insert the linking cable into the desired Output Port BEFORE mounting to the wall.
- Stick the panel to the wall using adhesive pads. Press and hold for 30 seconds.
Installing Middle and Final Panels:
- Rotate the panel so the Input Port aligns with the Output Port of the previous panel.
- Insert the linking cable into the Output Port of the previous panel and the Input Port of the new panel.
- Use the orientation tool to align the panel correctly.
- Stick the panel to the wall using adhesive pads. Press and hold for 30 seconds.
Optional Mounting with Nails
If adhesive pads are not suitable (e.g., wallpaper, brick, textured surfaces), use the provided traceless nails.
- Disconnect the panel from power and use the removal tool to separate it from the bracket.
- Place the mounting bracket on the wall with Input/Output ports facing away from the wall.
- Hammer the traceless nails into the provided holes.
- Orient the panel so the arrows align with the bracket and press until it clicks into place.
- Reconnect power.
Maintenance and Removal
