7. Charging

The motorized blinds are powered by a rechargeable motor. Multiple charging options are available:

The included solar panel provides an eco-friendly and convenient way to charge your blinds. Attach the solar panel to the inside of your window where it receives direct sunlight. This reduces the need for frequent manual charging.

If solar charging is insufficient or unavailable, you can charge the motor using a USB plug or a power bank. A full charge typically takes 4-6 hours.

• Charge by USB Plug: Connect a USB cable (not included) to the motor and a standard USB power adapter (not included).
• Charge by Power Bank: Connect a USB cable (not included) to the motor and a power bank (not included).
