Do NOT forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably in between each stud. CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging the cable and light.
  • Page 4 Incorrectly inserting the connector can can result in bent pins inside the port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected. Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights. Connectors can be inserted only one way.
