Installation

1. Measurement

Accurate measurements are crucial for proper installation. Determine whether you will use an inside mount or an outside mount.

• For Inside Mount: We suggest reducing the window width by up to 1/4 inch to ensure a good fit within the frame. Minimum installation depth is 1.8 inches.
• For Outside Mount: Add at least 4 inches to the window width for optimal light blockage. Consider outside mount for very thin, bay, or almost no-frame windows.

2. Mounting the Blinds

Follow these steps for a simple installation. No professional assistance is typically required.

1. Marking: Choose appropriate spots for the two brackets and mark them with a pencil. We suggest marking at 1/3 and 2/3 of the total length of the shade.
2. Drilling: Drill holes at the marked spots.
3. Install Brackets: Install the trim panel bracket.
4. Hook Headrail: Hook the headrail of the shade into the front of the bracket, then rotate the headrail until the back securely snaps into place.
5. Install Valance: Attach the valance.

Before clicking 'Confirm' in the app, hold down the 'M' button on the right side of the shade for 2 seconds until it rotates once.

Maintenance

To keep your MANSNIX Smart Motorized Blackout Blinds in optimal condition:

• Cleaning: Spot clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for any stains. Do not immerse in water or use harsh chemicals.
• Battery Replacement: The motor is battery-driven (8 AA batteries). Batteries typically last 4-6 months with daily use. Replace batteries when the motor performance degrades. It is recommended to remove the blind for easier battery replacement.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your MANSNIX Smart Motorized Blackout Blinds, refer to the following common solutions:

• Blinds Not Responding to Remote:
  • Check remote battery.
  • Ensure the remote is on the correct channel for the blind.
  • Re-pair the remote with the blind following the 'Remote Control Pairing' steps.
• Blinds Not Responding to App/Voice Control:
  • Verify the Smart Bridge is powered on and connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network.
  • Check the internet connection of your Smart Bridge and smart home device (Alexa/Google Assistant).
  • Ensure the blinds are correctly added and linked in the Tuya Smart app and your smart home app (Alexa/Google Home).
  • Unplug and replug the Smart Bridge to restart it.
• Blinds Not Moving to Set Limits:
  • Re-set the upper and lower limits following the 'Limit Setting' steps.
  • Check the motor battery level. Low battery can affect limit accuracy.
