Operating Instructions
The Smoove 1 RTS provides intuitive control over your Somfy RTS motorized products.
Button Functions:
- ▲ (Up) Button: Moves the motorized product upwards (e.g., raises a shade, opens a curtain).
- ▼ (Down) Button: Moves the motorized product downwards (e.g., lowers a shade, closes a curtain).
- 'my' Button: Recalls the pre-programmed favorite position of the motorized product.
Programming the 'my' Position:
To set a favorite 'my' position for your motorized product:
- Move your motorized product to the desired 'my' position using the Up or Down buttons.
- Press and hold the 'my' button until the motorized product jogs (moves slightly back and forth). This confirms the new 'my' position has been saved.
To delete a 'my' position, press and hold the 'my' button until the motorized product jogs. Then, immediately press and hold the 'my' button again until it jogs a second time. This will clear the saved 'my' position.
Maintenance
The Somfy Smoove 1 RTS requires minimal maintenance.
Battery Replacement:
The switch is powered by a CR2032 lithium coin cell battery. Battery life can vary depending on usage, but typically lasts over a year. Replace the battery when the indicator light on the switch (if present) flashes or when the switch becomes unresponsive.
- Carefully detach the switch from its mounting bracket.
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the switch.
- Remove the old CR2032 battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 battery, ensuring correct polarity (+ side up).
- Reattach the switch to its mounting bracket.
Cleaning:
Clean the surface of the switch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
