Before installing your SmartShade for the first time, please perform a BIST on your SmartShade. This process is important as the SmartShade will test itself and methodically solve any issues it may encounter.
Prior to performing a BIST, you will need:
RYSE SmartShade
RYSE A/C Power Adapter, or charged BatteryPack
A pen, paperclip, or any object with a pointed end
Please note that this process will involve resetting your SmartShade to factory settings. This will clear your top/bottom position configuration, and if your SmartShade is paired with your phone, you will need to re-pair it afterwards.
Before entering BIST mode, ensure your SmartShade is NOT installed on your beaded chain.
In order to complete a BIST, please follow the steps below:
Unplug your RYSE SmartShade
While unplugged, press the STOP and PAIR buttons.
Keep holding these buttons down, and plug in your A/C Power Adapter or BatteryPack.
Release the buttons. You will see the 5 position LEDs light up red, and the up/down arrows will light up blue. The motor will then move up and down slightly. This confirms that the device has entered BIST mode.
When you see the up arrow light up, quickly press UP.
The device will not move, and you will not need to hold the button down.
When you see the down arrow light up, press DOWN.
The device will not move, and you will not need to hold the button down.
When you see the 1st and 5th indicator lights turn on, press PAIR.
When you see the 2nd and 4th indicator lights turn on, press SET.
When you see the middle indicator light turn on, press the reset button (using the pen or similar item). This will conclude the test.
When the test is over, you will see all the lights on your SmartShade light up blue.
The Built-In Self-Test is now complete! You may now proceed with installation, pairing and calibration.
