Charging/StandBy
A Voyager can be charged while being
actively used.
Plugging a powered-off Voyager to a char-
ger will cause it to start charging and enter
standby mode.

first diode when checking the Voyager’s
status.

active (including WIFi module and anima-
tion engine), with the exception of the light
output being turned down. This feature
enables instantaneous bootup from it’s
charging state.

program button (side button) for 4 seconds
will cause the Voyager to toggle between

MASTER > ROUTER > CLIENT.
When using a single Voyager, make sure
the unit is in Master mode -identifiable by
a Yellow third diode when briefly press-
ing the power button-. Open the avail-
able network list on your remote device
and find your Voyager. The SSID (Network
name) of the Voyager is its serial number
(DS026XXXXXXXXXX). Use the password
dsputnik for connecting.
Then, open the Voyager app, and your lamp
will automatically be added to the scene.

Voyager, and set it to Router mode -iden-
tifiable by a Blue third diode when briefly
pressing the power button-. The WiFi mode
of other unit/units must be set to Client
mode. Client Voyagers will automatically
search for and connect to a Router Voyager.
When briefly pressing the power button
on client Voyagers, the third diode will be
Green when connection has been estab-
lished or Red if there is a problem with the
connection.
Connect to a Router Voyager. This Voyager
will appear on your device’s available net-
work list with an _M at the end of its SSID
i.e. DS026XXXXXXXXXX_M. The password
will be: dsputnik
Open the Voyager app. Router unit will au-
tomatically be added to the scene. Press
“Add Lamps” to add client Voyagers to the
scene.

WiFi Control
When working with more than 7 Voya-
gers, you will need to connect to them us-
ing an external router. For that, all Voyagers
must be connected to the external router’s
network. This can be achieved using the
Voyager App.
In the Setup tab > Lamp Settings > Select
lamp/lamps* to be made into clients >
Choose a Network from the available net-
work list displayed in the app OR type in the
network name>Password>Connect.
Then, connect your device to the same
router. Open the Voyager app and press
“Add Lamps” to add Voyagers to the scene.
Voyagers WiFi supports 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz
networks.
*This action does not require to connect each Voy-
ager individually. It is recommended to turn Voyag-
ers into Clients (up to six) using the previous meth-
od.
Remember that you can also customize
your Voyagers’ SSIDs through the app.
You can also customize your router’s SSID
to follow the naming convention of a Router
Voyager. If you name your router’s network
as DS026XXXXXXXXXX_M, all Voyagers
set to Client mode will automatically con-
nect to that network.
