4. Troubleshooting
4.1 Low Battery Indication
Some motorized blinds may have an LED indicator that blinks red when the battery is depleted, signaling that it's time for a charge. If your motor does not have an indicator, the blinds will simply stop responding when the battery is low.
4.2 Charging Access Issues
If the charging port is difficult to access due to the blind's installation, consider using an extension cable or a magnetic adapter (sold separately) to facilitate easier charging.
4.3 Battery Not Charging
- Ensure the USB charging cable is securely connected to both the battery pack and the power source.
- Verify that the power source (e.g., wall adapter, USB port) is functional.
- Check the indicator light on the battery pack; it should be red during charging. If it's not lit, there might be a connection issue or a fault with the charger/cable.
