2. Mounting the Blind

Ensure you have the correct tools (drill, screwdriver, measuring tape) and follow the steps for your chosen mounting type.

Inside Mount

For inside mount, the blind is installed within the window frame. A minimum window frame depth of 2.5 inches is required. A 1/4-inch deduction on the width is recommended for the best fit.

Outside Mount

For outside mount, the blind is installed outside the window frame, covering the entire window opening. Minimum clearance of 2 inches of flat surface above the window frame is required. We recommend adding at least 2 inches on each side of the window for maximum light blockage.

Operating Instructions

Remote Control Operation

Your motorized blind comes with a single-channel remote controller for easy operation. The remote allows you to raise, lower, and stop the blind at any desired position.

Pairing the Remote and Setting Limits

To ensure proper function, the remote needs to be paired with the blind, and the upper and lower limits of the blind's travel need to be set. This process involves using the 'S' key and confirm buttons located on the back of the remote, and the programming button on the blind motor itself.

Maintenance

To keep your motorized zebra blinds in optimal condition, regular cleaning is recommended. Use a duster or a slightly damp cloth to wipe the fabric gently. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

If your blind is not responding:

  • Check if the remote control batteries (AA) need replacement.
  • Ensure the remote is properly paired with the blind (refer to the 'Pairing the Remote' section).
  • If using a smart hub, verify its connection to your Wi-Fi network (2.4GHz only).
  • If the blind moves erratically, the upper/lower limits may need to be reset (refer to the 'Setting Limits' section).

For any persistent issues, please contact customer support.
