Operating Instructions

Your Yoolax Smart Cellular Shades offer multiple ways to control light and privacy.

Maintenance

To keep your Yoolax cellular shades in optimal condition, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Spot clean only. Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water for any stains. Do not immerse the shades in water or use harsh chemicals.
• Dusting: Regularly dust the shades with a soft brush or vacuum with a brush attachment on a low setting.
• Battery Charging: Recharge the built-in battery motor every 4-6 months, or as needed. Consider purchasing a solar panel charger for continuous charging.

• Voice Control Issues: Confirm your Alexa device is compatible and connected to the internet. Ensure the shades are properly linked to your Alexa account.
• Uneven Movement: Recalibrate the shade's upper and lower limits according to the programming instructions provided with your remote or in the app.
