Remote Pre-programming

Your remote should come pre-programmed to your blind. The following instructions are to be used if your remote needs to be re-programmed.

CAUTION: When setting limits on tilt & lift products, be advised that setting the closure of the slats too tight can result in the breaking of the strings/ladders. Please use caution when adjusting the limits.

BEFORE YOU START THE PAIRING PROCESS

• Take the blind off of the brackets to be able to do the "pairing"
• Select in the remote the Channel number associated with this blind

PAIRING THE REMOTE

Your blinds will need to be paired to the remote prior to operating your blinds. See Pair the Remote below.

Pair The Remote

This remote control has 15 channels. Before pairing the remote, determine which blind(s) you want on which channel. All blinds paired to a remote will also automatically be programmed to the "ALL" channel.

It is recommended to only pair one blind per channel unless it is absolutely necessary to group blinds other than the "ALL" channel. This simplifies adjusting limits and setting favorites.

If a battery is not already installed in the remote, follow the instructions REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE.

1. Press SETTING (⚙️) button on the motor for 2 seconds. The blind will jog once and sound a long beep.
2. Press the STOP (⏹️) button for 2 seconds. The blind will jog twice and sound 3 beeps. The motor has been paired successfully.

NOTE: If the STOP button is not pressed within 10 seconds, the blind will exit the paring mode automatically.

Repeat steps 1-2 to pair remaining blinds to the rest of the channels.

OPERATING THE REMOTE

Remove Plastic from Battery

Before operating the remote, remove the plastic in back of remote to engage battery.

Raise and Lower Blind

Select the desired channel with the CHANNEL button.

Press the UP (⬆️) or DOWN (⬇️) buttons to raise or lower the blind.

Press the STOP (⏹️) button to stop the blind at the desired position.

Open and Close the Slats

1. Select a channel using the CHANNEL button. (Press right or left side of button to scroll through the channels.)
2. Tapping the UP (⬆️) or DOWN (⬇️) button for less than 2 seconds will move the slats in short steps. This allows precise control of the slat open/close position.

Alignment

After installing the blinds, tilt the slats to the open position. Then raise and lower the blind several times. This motion will allow the cords and slats to properly align themselves.

SETTING BLIND LIMITS

Adjust Blind Limits (If Desired)

The lower and upper limits have been set at the factory. If you need to make adjustments to the limits, follow the instructions below.

Use the CHANNEL buttons to select the channel for the blind that needs to be adjusted. Then follow the directions below.

When adjusting one blind, the other blinds on that channel need to be temporarily unpaired from the remote (see UNPAIR THE REMOTE). Once limits are adjusted, the other blinds will need to be re-paired to the channel (see PAIR THE REMOTE).

If there is a single blind on the channel, proceed to SETTING LIMITS.

REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE

Slide the back cover off the remote.

Remove the battery and replace it with a new battery (CR2450). The new battery should be inserted with the writing facing up (positive side up).

Replace the back cover of the remote.

NOTE: When installing the battery for the first time, you will need to remove the film packing sheet.

SOLAR PANEL (OPTIONAL)

Determine Solar Panel Placement

The solar panel should be placed where it gets the maximum amount of sunlight per day.

In most cases this can be achieved by mounting the unit directly to the glass with double sided adhesive. Brackets are provided if attaching to the glass is not possible. The brackets may be mounted several different ways depending on the application (window depth, window width, etc.).

The unit requires 19" minimum window width to mount horizontally.

See below for window types and scenarios best for proper solar panel use.

Do NOT use the solar panel for the following windows.

• Single & Double paned OK ✔️
• Light transmission > 65%
• Clear
• Tinted

Do NOT use the solar panel under the following conditions.

• Awning
• Deep Eaves
• North Facing ⬆️
• Vegetation Blocking Light ?
• Insect Screen ?

INSTALL SOLAR PANEL

Tape Method

Choose the location to mount the solar panel.

Clean the ends of the solar panel where the tape will go with rubbing alcohol. When dry, remove the backing from one side of the double sided adhesive strip and adhere to the face of the solar panel. Put one adhesive strip on each end of the solar panel. Make sure to put the tape on the face (black side) of the panel.

Clean the window surface with rubbing alcohol. When dry, remove the backing on the adhesive strip and attach the solar panel to the inside of the glass, pressing firmly to adhere.

Bracket Method

Connect the sliding bracket and the L-shape bracket using the two screws and nuts. Do not overtighten to allow for easy adjustment to the solar panel mounting height if needed.

Ceiling mount the L-shape bracket to the window frame between the glass and the blind.

Adjust the mounting height by moving the sliding bracket up and down. Once positioned at the desired height, tighten the two screws to fix the position.

Click the solar panel to the bottom of the sliding bracket.

If space is limited it may be easier to attach the brackets to the solar unit before screwing the brackets in place.

CONNECT SOLAR PANEL TO MOTOR

Connect Solar Panel to Motor

Before the blind is installed, plug the solar panel into the side battery port located inside the headrail.

Install the headrail into bracket making sure the charging cord is dropping behind the headrail close to the window.
