• Order width should be your window width minus 1/4 inch to ensure a proper fit.
• Minimum window depth required is 1.8 inches.
• Order height should be less than or equal to 72 inches.
• Outside Mount: For installation outside the window frame, covering the entire opening.
• Measure the desired width you want the blinds to cover.
• Order width should be your window width plus at least 4 inches (2 inches on each side) for maximum light blockage.
• Order height should be less than or equal to 72 inches.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

The polyester fabric of your MANSNIX Smart Blinds is designed for durability and easy care:

• For routine cleaning, gently dust the fabric with a soft cloth or use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a low setting.
• For minor spots, lightly dab with a damp cloth and mild soap, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• If wrinkles appear, a cool iron or a hair dryer on a low setting can be used to gently flatten the fabric. Hold the iron or dryer a few inches away from the fabric and move it continuously.

6.2 Battery Replacement

The motorized blinds operate on AA batteries. When the batteries are low, you may notice slower operation or uneven rolling. To replace the batteries:

1. Carefully locate the battery compartment cover on the motor unit.
2. Remove the cover. It may be necessary to unmount the blind from its brackets for easier access.
3. Replace all old batteries with new AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
4. Securely reattach the battery compartment cover.
5. After replacement, you may need to re-calibrate the upper and lower limits if they were affected.
