Installation Guide

1. Measuring Your Window

Accurate measurements are crucial for a perfect fit. Determine whether you will use an Inside Mount or Outside Mount.

• Inside Mount: Measure the exact inside width and height of your window frame. The smart blinds width will be the width of your window. The height should be equal to or greater than the window height. Note: For inside mount, the actual fabric width will be approximately ¼ inch less than the ordered width for easier installation.
• Outside Mount: Measure the desired width and height to cover your window opening. The smart blinds width should be the width of your window plus 4 inches. The height should be the height of your window plus 4 inches.

2. Mounting the Blinds

Follow the specific instructions provided with your mounting hardware. Ensure the brackets are securely fastened to the wall or window frame.

3. Attaching the Solar Panel

If using the solar charging option, ensure the solar panel is placed in an area that receives direct sunlight. The depth of your window frame should be at least 2.5 inches for solar panel installation.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your motorized zebra blinds, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Dusting: Regularly dust the blinds and housing with a soft, dry cloth or a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
• Battery Charging: Ensure the solar panel is clean and unobstructed to maximize charging efficiency. If solar charging is insufficient, use the USB charger to fully charge the blinds.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your motorized zebra blinds, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Blinds not responding to remote/app/voice commands.	Low battery; Remote not paired; App/hub connectivity issue.	Charge the blinds using the solar panel or USB charger. Ensure the remote has fresh batteries and is paired correctly. Check app and hub connectivity. Restart app/hub if necessary.
Blinds stop working after a period of use.	Power shortage due to long storage/transportation or insufficient charging.	This is often due to low power. Follow these steps: Image: Close-up of the blind's motor housing with an indicator light, labeled "Firstly". Firstly: Due to the long transportation time, there might be low power inside the battery of the motor. If your curtains stop working after a period of use, there are two ways to try to fix them. Image: Solar panel connected to the blind, receiving sunlight, labeled "Secondly". Secondly: Place the solar panel under sunlight and plug it in tightly. Image: Close-up of the blind's motor housing with a red indicator light, labeled "Thirdly". Thirdly: If the motor indicator light is on instead of flashing, then it's charging. Please test after 6-12 hours. Image: Text box indicating a free charger service, labeled "Fourthly". Fourthly: We can send you a free motor-specific charger ASAP which can solve 99% of charging problems. Please feel free to consult at any time.
