3. Installation Guide
Follow these steps for proper installation of your motorized blinds. You can choose between inside mount or outside mount options based on your window frame.
3.1 Measuring Your Window
Accurate measurements are crucial for a proper fit. Always measure the actual width of the window, not the curtain size.
- Inside Mount: Measure the minimum width (W1, W2, W3) and minimum height (H1, H2, H3) of the inside frame. Deduct 1/4 inch from the width for the order size. A minimum window depth of 2 inches is required.
- Outside Mount: Measure the width of the ideal area to be covered (W) and add at least 2 inches on each side for maximum light blockage. Measure the height of the ideal area to be covered (H). No need to measure window depth.

3.2 Mounting the Brackets
- Mark the desired positions for the mounting brackets on your window frame or wall. Ensure they are level and spaced appropriately for the blind's width.
- Drill pilot holes at the marked locations.
- Insert wall anchors if drilling into drywall.
- Secure the mounting brackets using the provided screws.
3.3 Attaching the Blind Unit
- Carefully align the motorized blind unit with the installed brackets.
- Snap or slide the blind unit into place until it is securely fastened.
- Attach the valance cover to the front of the headrail for a finished look.
3.4 Solar Panel Installation
The solar panel can be attached to the window glass using adhesive strips or suction cups (if provided) to ensure it receives maximum sunlight for charging.

6.1 Cleaning
The blind fabric is designed for easy maintenance. For cleaning, use a damp cloth to spot clean any soiled areas. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Minor wrinkles may occur during shipping. To remove them, simply unfold the blind and allow it to hang in a well-ventilated indoor area for a few days. Wrinkles typically disappear within 3 days. Alternatively, a garment steamer can be used for quick wrinkle removal.
