3. Get started

To get started, you will at least need:

 A SEG-X3 Smart Gateway
 1 ~ 4 x CCT Tunable LED bulb LED622 (At least you

will need one LED bulb)

 The SmartOWON mobile app

Then follow the steps below:

Step 1: Check the RC204 status.
Press any button to check if the main LED indicator is
red flashing for three times.

Step 3: Use a pin key tool to press the reset button.
Then the device will add the ZigBee network of the
gateway.

Step 4: Check if this device added into the gateway.
If the remote control is added into the gateway
successfully, the main LED indicator will be green
flashing for three times. After adding, please press any
button to check if the main LED indicator is red flashing
one time indicating that it is added into the system.

Tips: After trying to add, when pressing any button, if
the main LED indicator will be red flashing for three

times means it hasn’t added into the gateway. You will

need to repeat from step 2.

Step 5: Bind with 1-4 CCT Tunable LED bulb LED622
