6.4. Battery Level Monitoring

The app provides a real-time display of the motor's battery level, allowing you to know when it's time to recharge.

7. Maintenance

• Charging: Recharge the motor when the battery level is low, indicated by the app. Use the provided Type-C cable and a DC5V power adapter.
• Cleaning: Keep the motor and blind mechanism free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
