Step 01: Pair Sidekick with new shade motors
Step 02: Check motor directions
To pair your Sidekick with a window covering without any
previously paired control, you must set the motor to factory
mode, which can vary from motor to motor. Please check
your motor instructions if needed.
When in Factory Setup Mode, the motor will only move
so long as the UP or DOWN buttons are held. Now check
the direction of motion and reverse if desired.

7. Battery Replacement
8. Associating with a Bond Bridge Pro
1. Separate the Sidekick covers using a screw driver.
2. Once the back cover has been removed, use a screwdriver to assist in removing the
battery. Ensure that the circuit board is not damaged during this process.
3. The replacement battery should have its label facing up. Check that the
replacement battery has not been used or stored for more than a year. The battery
lifespan of the SKS-500 will be reduced if it is stored for an extended period of time.
When paired with the Bond Bridge Pro,
Sidekick can update the state of your
shades in the Bond Home app. To turn
on this feature, associate each Sidekick
channel with the corresponding shades on
the Bond Home app.
To associate your Sidekick with your Bond
Home app you need to make sure that:
1. Your Bond Bridge Pro rmware is on version 3.1 or higher.
2. Your Bond Home app is updated to version 2.40.0 or higher.
3. You can control your shade from Sidekick.
4.You can control that same shade from the Bond Home app.
