Somfy Li-On Motors Programming Guide

Note: These instructions start as if the shade has never been programmed. If the shade has been previously programmed or needs to go back to factory default (so you can start from the beginning), please follow the “Resetting to factory default” directions before starting the programming sequence.

Note: When programming multiple motors to the same channel, the first shade must be “Put To Sleep” before programming the other shades. This function will last 15 minutes. If a longer time frame is needed, use the “Disable RTS” function.

Note:  If you are using a Decoflex Wall Switch, substitute the “stop” button for the “my” button. The programming button is a paper clip size hole next to the down arrow.
