1. Is the customer required to remove the motor from the blind to charge it?

   No, the motor can be charged while installed.  Simply plug in the charger to the connector at the motor head.

   
   

   How long does the motor take to charge?

   First charge: 6 hours Subsequent charges should also last 6 hours.

   What do the red/green lights on the charger mean?

   A red light comes on to signify fast charging of the battery. After fast charge is done, the light turns green and the remaining 3 hour charge becomes a trickle charge, optimizing battery performance.

   Can I overcharge the battery by leaving the charger on too long?

   No. The motor/battery both have integrated overcharge protection circuits. This means that the battery will limit the charge it will accept if plugged in longer than necessary.

   Can I leave the charger on the motor indefinitely?

   Yes. The charger can be left plugged into the motor longer than a charging cycle requires. This makes the motor into a hard-wired solution, with a battery backup.

   How long will the battery last before it needs to be recharged?

   It depends on the motor model and the size/weight of the shade.Generally, the target is 500 up/down cycles. The Automate Pulse app will indicate when the motor battery is low and in need of recharge.

   Why does my motor beep 10 times?

   • The battery in the motor needs recharging.
   • Recharge with the AC adaptor that came with the blind.
   • Check the connection and positioning of the solar panel
