Installing mounting bracket
Pull down on the blind adjustment chain, ensuring it is taut and without
slack. Hang the supplied installation card on the bottom of the chain,
keeping the chain held tight. According to the chain position, mark the
two “L” or “R” holes on your wall.
To identify Left or Right usage:
While standing and facing the blinds, if the chain/rope is on your left
hand side, refer to “L”.
If the chain/rope is on your right hand side, refer to “R”.
INSTALLATION

Installation mode 1 (permanent)
For permanent installation, mark the two
holes for either “L” or “R” installation with
the card. Replace the card with the
mounting bracket, and screw into place.
The mounting bracket can be installed this
way either by its side or flat.
Installation mode 2 (no holes, removable)
For a removable installation, use supplied
3M adhesive to fix to wall. It is
recommended to leave the mounting
bracket to set on the wall for at least 12
hours before applying the full weight of the
attached device.

Determine the suitable gear from the below diagram, and attach this to the device.
Fix the blind adjustment chain to the gear, and close the device backing.

grooves on the rear of the device, and slide down until it locks into place. Ensure the chain is
reasonably tight, with no slack.
Slide down until it locks into place,
ensure the chain is taut.

With the chain placed on the motor, check if the running direction matches that of the
blinds. If not, there are two methods for changing the running direction.
A: Press and hold “Up” button for six seconds, until the blue light begins to flash. This
reverses the blind running direction.
B: After connection with the app is complete, you can change device motor direction by
selecting ‘Motor direction’ from the ‘More’ submenu. You will then need to reset the device
limit, as the difference in direction will change the limit.
