4. Installation Guide

Before installation, determine whether you will use an Inside Mount or Outside Mount. Accurate measurements are crucial for proper fit and function.

4.1. Measuring for Installation

Inside Mount

Width: Measure the inside frame width at three points (top, middle, bottom: W1, W2, W3). Use the minimum of these measurements.
Height: Measure the inside frame height at three points (left, center, right: H1, H2, H3). Use the minimum of these measurements.
Important: A deduction of 1/4 inch from the measured width is required for proper fit. Minimum window depth of 2 inches is needed. Round down to the nearest 1/8 inch.

Outside Mount

Width: Measure the width of the ideal area to be covered (W).
Height: Measure the height of the ideal area to be covered (H).
Important: We recommend adding at least 2 inches on each side (total 4 inches) to the width for maximum light blockage. Ensure a minimum clearance of 2 inches of flat surface above the window frame. Round to the nearest 1/8 inch. No need to measure window depth.

4.2. General Installation Steps

Mark Bracket Positions: Based on your chosen mount type (Inside or Outside), mark the precise locations for your mounting brackets. Ensure they are level.
Install Brackets: Drill pilot holes if necessary and secure the mounting brackets using the provided screws and drywall anchors (if installing into drywall).
Attach Blinds: Carefully attach the motorized blind unit to the installed brackets. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
Install Valance Cover: Attach the valance cover to the front of the blind unit for a finished look.
Connect Solar Panel: Firmly insert the solar panel's connector into the socket on the blind unit. Position the solar panel where it receives maximum sunlight.

5.1. Remote Control Operation

5.2. Adjusting Blind Height

The height of the blinds can be adjusted anywhere from 0 inches to 72 inches. Use the remote control to set your desired open and closed positions. The fabric width will always be at least 1 inch narrower than the ordered product width.

5.3. Smart Features (Optional Hub Required)

To unlock smart features, an optional hub is required. Once connected, you can:

Voice Control: Use voice commands with compatible smart assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant to open or close your blinds.
App Control & Scheduling: Control your blinds via a mobile application, allowing you to set schedules for automatic opening and closing at fixed times.

6. Charging and Power

Your DENFOON Motorized Blinds are equipped with a rechargeable battery and come with a complimentary solar panel for convenient and eco-friendly charging.

6.1. Solar Panel Charging

The solar panel is designed to continuously charge the blinds' internal battery using sunlight. This extends the motor's lifespan and reduces the need for frequent manual recharging. Ensure the solar panel is positioned to receive adequate sunlight.

Comparison showing the advantages of solar panels for blinds versus traditional battery-operated blinds. — Figure 6.1: Advantages of solar panels: no need to replace batteries frequently.

6.2. Alternative Charging Methods

In situations where solar charging is insufficient (e.g., prolonged cloudy weather, low light conditions), you can also charge the blinds using:

Wall Socket: Connect the charging cable to a standard wall outlet.
Power Bank: Use a portable power bank for convenient charging.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning

To clean your DENFOON Motorized Blinds, simply spot clean any soiled areas. Do not immerse the blinds in water or use harsh chemicals.

7.2. Wrinkle Removal

Wrinkles may occur during transportation. To remove them:

Natural Relaxation: Simply unfold your blinds and let them sit in a well-ventilated area indoors for a few days (usually within 3 days). The wrinkles will naturally disappear.
Garment Steamer: For quicker results, use a garment steamer to gently remove wrinkles in just a few minutes.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your DENFOON Motorized Blinds, please refer to the following common solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution

Blinds not moving smoothly or stopping unexpectedly.	Obstruction in the track; motor issue; limits not set correctly.	Inspect tracks for debris or obstructions. Ensure the blind fabric is not snagged. Reset upper and lower limits if they have been disturbed (refer to limit setting instructions).
