Figure 11 Gear Bracket
INSTALL THE POWER MODULE
Solar Bar:
Mount the Solar Bar on the window. Before starting, make sure your window is clean
and free of any moisture or dirt. Connect the Solar Bar to Gear. Next, peel the liner off the Solar
Bar’s mounting adhesives. You can now mount it directly onto your window.
We recommend mounting the Solar Bar as high as possible so that it hides behind the headrail
or valance of your window shade and so that it gets sunlight as much as possible. If there are
any shadows on your window shade from roofing or trees, be sure to place the module away
from any shadows in a spot where there is lots of (ideally, direct) sunlight.
At each end of the Solar Bar, there is a cap. One cap is to replace batteries while the other can
hide excessive cable. After opening the cap, you can wrap the cable around the middle section
to set your desired cable length. Generally, this is easier to do once the Power Module is fully
installed. When adjusting the cable length, make sure there is enough room to slide the cover
back on. Finally, the cable that comes out of the cover can be oriented either to the left or right
for a neat look that fits your window shade.
Power Adapter:
Plug the adapter into a wall outlet and plug the other end into Gear. Cable
positioning here is limited by the availability of power outlets in the immediate area.
In both cases, you can use the provided cable clips to keep any cords neatly tucked away.
Cables can also be hidden using a variety of third-party organization tools such as a Legrand
Wiremold CMK10 Cordmate Cord Cover Kit.
