9. User Tips
- Power Supply: The motor operates on DC 5V. It is battery-powered and rechargeable via a Type-C cable. It does not use 100-240V AC directly.

- Load Capacity: The motor has a load bearing capacity of up to 3 KG. Ensure your roller blind's weight does not exceed this limit for optimal performance and longevity.
- RF Hub for Smart Features: For app control and voice commands, an RF Smart Hub is essential. The motor alone cannot connect directly to Wi-Fi or smart assistants.
