Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Charge the Motor: Before installation, ensure the motor battery is fully charged using the included USB cable. The motor has a built-in 3000mAH Li-battery.
2. Insert Motor into Tube: The motor is designed to fit into 36mm, 37mm, or 38mm inner diameter shade tubes. Insert the motor into one end of the roller blind tube, ensuring it grips the inside properly.
3. Insert End Cap: Insert the end cap into the other end of the roller blind tube.
4. Affix Brackets: Secure the roller blind brackets to the ceiling. Ensure the bracket with the plastic holder mechanism is facing outward for easy installation. If wall mounting is required, 'L' or 'S' shaped brackets can be purchased separately. Ensure the distance between the two brackets is equal to the width of the roller shade tube.
5. Install Roller Shade Tube: Begin installing the roller shade tube into the brackets. Ensure the end with the motor has the reset button and micro-USB port accessible for later use. The other end of the tube sits in the plastic holder, which is secured by pulling the catch over and down, snapping it into place.
6. Pairing with Remote (Optional): To pair the remote, press the Pairing button on the motor once, then the 'Up' button on the remote once.
7. Pairing with Tuya Smart App: Open the Tuya Smart app and tap on 'Add Device' or the '+' icon. Select your gateway/hub and press the pairing button on the motor three (3) times. The motor will be automatically discovered. Tap 'Add' then 'Done'.
