biOrb Remote Control/Lighting Troubleshooting

Having trouble with your brand new biOrb remote control/lighting?

Try this:

  • Please have the light facing up
  • On the clear box make sure the switch is pressed on the (-) side down (you may toggle it back and forth to see if it flickers)
  • Make sure the battery on the remote is placed correctly (if you have the black side of remote facing up, you should see the (+) sign on the battery)
  • Stand in front of the tank with the remote near the lid
  • Press the on and off button a few times so the sensor can sync with the remote
  • Press any of the colors on the remote the light should then work
