Setup

1. Measuring Your Window

Accurate measurements are crucial for proper installation. Determine whether you will use an inside mount or an outside mount.

  • Inside Mount: Measure the exact width of the window opening at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest measurement for the product width. Measure the exact height from the top of the opening to the window sill. The valance will extend beyond the window frame if the window depth is less than 2.45 inches.
  • Outside Mount: Measure the window width and add 4-5 inches to each side for optimal light blocking. Measure the window height and add 4-5 inches to the top and bottom.

2. Installation

The shades are designed for hassle-free setup and support inside, outside, or side mounting. The package includes all necessary mounting hardware.

  1. Unpack: Carefully unbox the shade and components. Ensure all parts listed in the package contents are present.
  2. Mark Bracket Locations: Position the shade assembly in its desired final location. Mark the drilling points for the mounting brackets. For side mount, an extended bracket is provided if noted in your order.
  3. Drill Holes: Drill two holes at the marked locations.
  4. Attach Brackets: Securely attach the mounting brackets using the provided screws.
  5. Mount Shade: Snap the shade assembly into the installed brackets. Ensure it is securely seated.
  6. Remove Shipping Lock: Locate and remove the small soft horseshoe-shaped foam shipping cover from the motor assembly to expose the ON/OFF button and charge port.

3. Charging the Motor

The motorized shades are equipped with a rechargeable battery. It is recommended to fully charge the battery before initial use.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

The shade fabric is designed for easy maintenance.

  • Spot Clean Only: For minor marks or dust, gently spot clean the fabric with a damp cloth.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the fabric and coating.

2. Battery Care

To ensure optimal performance and battery life:

  • Recharge the battery when the motor's performance noticeably decreases or when indicated by the system.
  • If using a solar panel, ensure it is clean and positioned to receive adequate sunlight.
  • Avoid fully depleting the battery frequently, as this can reduce its overall lifespan.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your WEFFORT Motorized Roller Shade, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Shade Not Responding to Remote:
    • Check if the remote control batteries are depleted and replace if necessary.
    • Ensure the remote is on the correct channel for the shade.
    • Verify the motor is not in shipping mode (press and hold the program button to wake it up).
    • Confirm the shade's motor battery is charged.
  • Shade Not Responding to App/Voice Control:
    • Ensure your Smart Hub (if applicable) is powered on and connected to your home network.
    • Check your Wi-Fi connection (2.4 GHz is often required for smart home devices).
    • Verify that the shade is correctly paired with your smart home system (Alexa, Google Home, HomeKit, etc.).
    • Restart your Smart Hub or router if connectivity issues persist.
  • Shade Stops Mid-Way or Does Not Reach Limits:
    • The motor battery may be low; recharge the shade.
    • The upper or lower limits may need to be reset. Refer to the specific motor programming instructions for your model.
  • Motor Noise:
    • The motor operates below 35 dB, which is considered quiet. If unusual or excessive noise occurs, ensure the shade is properly installed and not obstructed.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact WEFFORT customer support for further assistance.
