Setup and Installation
Measuring for Installation
Accurate measurements are crucial for proper fit and function. Please follow these guidelines:
- Inside Mount: The window depth must be at least 2.5 inches. Measure the width at three points (upper, middle, lower) and select the smallest measurement as the shade width. Measure the height at three points (left, middle, right) and select the largest measurement as the shade height. The smart shades can be freely adjusted between 0-72 inches high.
- Outside Mount: For outside mount, add 4 inches to both the width and height measurements to determine the size of the blinds you need. Note that electric blinds will have a small light gap on either side; an outside mount can help minimize these gaps for full blackout coverage.

Installation Steps
The only tool required for installation is a power drill. The installation process is straightforward:
- Attach the mounting brackets to the window frame or wall according to your chosen mount type (inside or outside). Ensure they are level and securely fastened.
- Slip the blind's headrail onto the installed brackets. The headrail should click into place.
- Connect the solar panel cable to the designated port on the blind's motor. Position the solar panel on the window glass to maximize sun exposure.
- Test the blind's operation using the remote control to ensure it moves up and down smoothly.

Maintenance
Solar Panel Charging
The included solar panel is designed to keep your blinds charged. For optimal performance:
- Keep the solar panel plugged into the smart roller shades at all times to ensure continuous power.
- Position the solar panel in an area that receives direct sunlight.
- If sunlight is insufficient, or for initial charging, you can use an external power supply with a 1A charger.

Wrinkle Removal
Due to the unique properties of the fabric, wrinkles may form during transportation. To remove wrinkles:
- Simply use an iron for one second upon receiving the blinds.
- Alternatively, allow the blinds to hang for approximately one week, and the wrinkles should naturally dissipate.

Cleaning
To clean your motorized blackout roller shades, use a spot clean only method. Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your DONGFXK Motorized Blackout Roller Shades, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Blinds Not Charging: Ensure the solar panel is correctly connected to the blind and positioned to receive adequate sunlight. If necessary, use an external 1A charger to charge the blinds.
- Remote Control Not Responding: Check the remote control's battery. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the blind's receiver. Re-pair the remote with the blinds if necessary (refer to the remote's specific instructions).
- Smart Control/App Connectivity Issues: Verify that your smart bridge (hub) is powered on, connected to your home Wi-Fi network, and properly paired with your smart home system (e.g., Tuya, Alexa, Google Assistant). Ensure the blinds are within range of the hub.
- Motor Not Functioning: If the motor stops working, ensure the blinds are fully charged. If the issue persists, contact customer support for assistance.
- Uneven Movement: If the blinds are moving unevenly, check for any obstructions in the track or ensure the installation brackets are level and securely mounted.
