Troubleshooting

Window does not operate via remote control.

Check the power supply to the window. Ensure the remote control has fresh batteries or is properly charged. Verify that the remote is paired correctly with the window receiver. Consult the product manual for re-pairing instructions.

Ensure the rain sensor is clean and free from debris. Check if the sensor is enabled in the window's settings. If the issue persists, the sensor may need recalibration or replacement.

Check for any obstructions around the window frame or the pivot mechanism. Ensure the power supply is stable. If the issue continues, contact customer support as the motor might be experiencing reduced performance.
