When you use a singular and already paired blind, plug in the repeater, insert the battery into the remote control and then mount the blind.

We recommend performing the pairing before mounting the blinds to the wall or ceiling. It’s ideal to place the blinds on a table when pairing.

The pre-set functions in the IKEA Home smart app can create the same settings from one day to the next.

Using the TRÅDFRI gateway and IKEA Home smart app, you can control the blinds from anywhere as long as you are connected to the same WiFi as the gateway. Some app/HomeKit suppliers offer controls away from home. 

Each individual blind is already paired.  To steer 1 single blind with the remote control, you don’t need to pair.

Yes, follow these steps to pair additional blinds:

1. Open the back cover of the open/close remote and find the pairing button.
2. Briefly press both buttons on the blind. The device is now awake and ready to pair for 2 minutes.
3. Hold the open/close remote very close to the wireless roller blind that you want to add (no more than 5cm away from the blinds' battery lid).
4. Press and hold the pairing button for at least 20 seconds on the wireless open/close remote.
5. A red light will shine steadily on the open/close remote. On your wireless roller blind, a white light will begin to dim and flash until the devices are paired. The blind will roll slightly down and up again when pairing is complete. You can now use your remote to control the blind.

You can pair up to 10 blinds. Please note that if you have more than one blind, they might go up and down at slightly different speeds, but this is normal.

The blind comes with the recharged battery pack. After usage, it takes around 4-5 hours to recharge the battery pack with the IKEA charger.

With an average usage of up and down once per day, a fully charged battery should last 4 to 6 months before needing to be recharged.

As with any battery, the ability to retain charging power will gradually reduce over time.

With an average usage of up and down once per day, the remote battery should last 2 years.

As with any battery, the ability to retain charging power will gradually reduce over time.

You can gently pull KADRILJ or FYRTUR down by hand. If you want to make the blind go up, you'll need to recharge the battery pack for a minimum time in order to steer the blind.

If you want to pull PRAKTLYSING or TREDANSEN down, or if you want to make the blind go up, you'll need to recharge the battery pack for a minimum time in order to steer the blind. 

We recommend avoiding draining the battery pack or the remote control so as not to lose the connection.

On the blind, press both buttons together for more than 5 seconds.
