- Adjust to Lower Limit: Use the UP or DOWN buttons to move the window covering to your desired lower limit.
- Confirm Lower Limit: Press and hold the MY button and the DOWN button simultaneously until the motor jogs. This sets the lower limit.
- Finalize Limits: Briefly press the PROG button on the remote until the motor jogs. This saves both limits.
