Installation

1. Step 1: Add your Blind Tilt to our app
   Open the SwitchBot app and sign into your account. Tap “+” at the top right of the home page, find the Blind Tilt icon and select, then follow the instructions to add your device.

2. Step 2: Install onto your blinds
   To ensure your Blind Tilt holds firmly on your blinds, use the wet wipe provided or neutral detergent to clean the headrail and the blind wand. Dirt or dust will affect adhesion and may cause dropping at a later time.

Use the measurement paper tape to determine an adapter for your blind wand

1. Wrap the measurement paper tape around your blind wand and tuck the narrower  end of the paper tape into the gap on the other end. Slide the narrower end through the gap so the paper tape tightly fits the wand. Now check which size the marks on the paper indicate – S, M, L or XL.
   2. Select the adapter of the right size according to the result above.
   

Install the mounting base and attach the adapter to your blind wand using the alignment card
Please note: The alignment card provided is an essential tool to help determine the position of the mounting base and adapter.

1. Align the middle line on the alignment card with your blind wand. Then stick the two folded parts with adhesive to the bottom of the headrail.
   

2. The gap at the middle bottom of the alignment card corresponds to where the adapter should be on the wand. Peel off the inner liner of the adapter and wrap it around your blind wand. Hold and pinch it for around 30 seconds.

3.  Select a mounting base that suits your blinds and stick it to the headrail where the alignment card indicates. We provide two types of mounting base. We recommend installing on the left using mounting base A in most cases.

1. Option 1: stick mounting base A on the left (recommended).

2. Option 2: If there is a lift cord close to your blind wand on the left, select mounting base B and stick it in between.
   

3. Option 3: If there is not enough space on the left, stick mounting base A on the right.
   

4. Option 4: If there is not enough space on the left and there is also a lift cord close to your blind wand on the right, select mounting base B and stick it in between.

Attach the coupling onto the adapter

1. Open the coupling and attach it onto the adapter, the pinch and fasten the spring buckle.
2. Twist the coupling against the wand and make sure there is no relative sliding between the coupling and the adapter.

Note: If the coupling slides over the adapter when you twist it, use the measurement paper tape to measure your blind wand again and replace with a more suitable adapter.
Install the main unit of your Blind Tilt onto the wand

Mounting base on the left:

1. Pinch the spring tab on the cord holder and slide the cord holder upwards to fit into the mounting base.
2. Push the slide switch on the main unit upwards to open the case.
3. Align the gears on the coupling and inside the main unit, then close the main unit case. (Slide the cord holder up or down to adjust the position of main unit if you have difficulty aligning the gears.)
4.  Check if your blind wand is perpendicular to the ground. If not, pinch the spring tab to slide the cord up and down to adjust the wand’s tilt angle. Finally use the base cover to cover the mounting base.

Mounting base on the right

1. Remove the cord holder from the Type-C port (turn 90° upwards from the bottom to remove), then install it back on from the other side (turn 90° downwards from the top to install back on). Now the Type-C port should be facing right.
2. Pinch the spring tab to slide the cord holder from the bottom to fit into the mounting base.
3. Push the slide switch upwards to open the main unit case. Align the gears on the coupling and inside the main unit, then close the main unit case. (Slide the cord holder up or down to adjust the position of main unit if you have difficulty aligning the gears.)
4. Check if your blind wand is perpendicular to the ground. If not, pinch the spring tab to slide the cord up and down to adjust the wand’s tilt angle. Finally, use the base cover to cover the mounting base.

Stick Solar Panel onto the widnow (optional)
Note: Solar Panel is optional since Blind Tilt is battery powered.

1. Stick Solar Panel onto the inner side of your window with its front facing outside.
   Select an appropriate position near the main unit so that the cord connecting Solar Panel will not be pulled when you open the window.

2. Pass the cable of Solar Panel through the gap between the headrail and the top slat, then connect the cable to the main unit. Note: Make sure the cable of Solar Panel passes from the gap above the top slat, otherwise your device may not work properly after installation.

3. Organize the cord of Solar Panel so that it does not affect the movement of the slats. Then fix the cord at the bottom of the headrail using the adhesive sticker.

Calibration
After you have added and installed your SwitchBot Blind Tilt, you will need to calibrate it to ensure it works correctly. Please follow the instructions in our app and make sure that the actual movement of your blind slats is the same as the animation in our app. Recalibration is needed each time you remove and reinstall the main unit. You can choose to recalibrate your Blind Tilt whenever you want on its Setting page.
