3.4 Pairing with Window Shade Motors

To control your window shades, the CM-16-BK remote must be paired with compatible MotionBlinds motors. The specific pairing procedure may vary depending on your motor model. Generally, this involves activating a pairing mode on the motor and then pressing a specific button sequence on the remote. Refer to your MotionBlinds motor's instruction manual or the MotionBlinds app for detailed pairing instructions.

Optional Smart Home Connectivity: For advanced control and integration with smart home systems (e.g., Google Home, Amazon Alexa), a MotionBlinds Wi-Fi bridge can be installed. This bridge connects Bluetooth-powered blinds to your smart home ecosystem, enabling voice control and automated routines. The remote control operates independently of the Wi-Fi bridge but can be used in conjunction with a smart home setup.

4. Operating the Remote Control

The CM-16-BK remote features four channels, each capable of controlling an individual blind or a group of blinds. Each channel typically has dedicated buttons for Up, Down, and Stop/Favorite functions.

• Move Up: Press the Up button to raise the selected blind.
• Move Down: Press the Down button to lower the selected blind.
• Stop/Favorite: Press the Stop button to halt the blind at its current position. A long press on this button may set or recall a favorite position, depending on the motor's programming.

Programming Favorite Positions:

Refer to your MotionBlinds motor's specific instructions for programming favorite positions. This typically involves moving the blind to the desired position and then performing a specific action on the remote (e.g., a long press of the Stop/Favorite button) to save that position.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

To clean the remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or wet cloths, as these may damage the surface or internal components.

5.2 Battery Replacement

When the remote's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, it may be time to replace the batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and replace the three CR2430 3.0V batteries with new ones, ensuring correct polarity. Dispose of old batteries responsibly according to local regulations.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Remote Not Responding

• Check the batteries: Ensure they are correctly inserted and not depleted. Replace if necessary.
• Check the range: Ensure you are within the operating range of the blind motor.
• Re-pair the remote: If the remote has lost connection, follow the pairing instructions in your motor's manual to re-establish the connection.

6.2 Inconsistent Operation

• Interference: Ensure there are no strong radio frequency sources nearby that could interfere with the remote's signal.
