PROGRAMMING AND OPERATION OF RADIO TECHNOLOGY MOTORS

IMPORTANT: The Upper & Lower limit positions (full UP & DOWN positions) have been pre-set at the factory – also, a Channel Number has been assigned to each shade – therefore, it is not necessary to perform Steps 1, 2 & 3 below – however, we recommend that you read these to familiarize yourself with the basics of programming the motor and remote control and to fully understand the function of your motorized shade. Also, note that the batteries in the motor are fully charged at the factory prior to shipment.

Channel Selection for Each Shade

When you receive your shades the channel number pre-assigned to each shade will be marked on the shade and/ or carton. Per the notice above, it is not necessary to perform Steps 1, 2 & 3 as these settings are done at the factory and will require no adjustment under normal circumstances.
A channel number must be assigned to each motor/shade. The assigned numbers should be sequential starting with #1 (1, 2, 3 etc.).
Press the channel buttons/arrows to select a dedicated channel for each shade prior to mating each shade/motor to the remote controller.

Programming/Mating

REMINDER: the motor and remote have been pre-set at the factory – programming information for Steps 1, 2 & 3 is provided as background information only.

Identify the head of the motor housing on the left side of the shade (see drawing) – Press the PROGRAM
button until the motor beeps and the shade oscillates (the shade will oscillate – a quick back and forth movement of the shade) Press the UP button on the remote (see drawing) – the shade will oscillate again –
the motor and transmitter are now mated.
