Battery Replacement:
The DecoFlex WireFree™ RTS switch is designed to provide years of maintenance-free performance. Should the battery become
discharged, the LED indicator lights will no longer function when the channel button is selected or an up, stop or down command is
activated. As a result, the radio signal will be reduced or not communicated to the RTS receiver or motor.
The battery can be easily replaced by exposing the SWITCH BASE ASSEMBLY board of the DecoFlex WireFree™ switch.
Simply slide the battery out of its holder and replace with a new 3V Lithium battery (type 2450) maintaining the correct polarity.

DecoFlex Wirefree™ Wall Switch
INSTALLATION
Included is a special SOMFY low voltage device mounting bracket which attaches to drywall and eliminates the need for an electrical box.
The bracket can be used in two mounting type configurations:
Individual or “stand-alone” (1 switch) mounting configurations (shown below),
1
Or adjacent (pre-existing) Decora-style light switch (specific instructions available). This unique mounting bracket allows the necessary spacing for 2 adjacent switches
2
and a new “Double Gang” (2 Gang) wall plate to be installed (see photo 8) resulting in an aesthetically pleasing professional installation
NOTE: When following configuration 1, the mounting bracket is not designed to be used inconjunction with “old-work” or retrofit electrical boxes. (Please check local codes to determine if an
electrical box is required for your installation.) For increased radio performance, Somfy recommends the use of non-metallic electrical enclosures.
Tools required for installation:
Screw drivers (phillips and bladed), dry-wall saw, wall stud sensor, non-marring tape and pencil
Pick a location for the switch
1 2
and using a stud sensor,
locate a space between studs
and mark (for reference) with
removable tape or pencil.
Using a dry-wall saw (or similar)
3
begin to cut the drywall along the
traced outline. Do not cut hole larger
than outline as this may result in a
loose fitting bracket.
NOTE: Recommended hole dimensions
are (1 5/8” W x 3 7/16” L)
5
Position the DecoFlex switch into
mounting bracket aligning the
screw holes. Secure switch to
mounting bracket with screws
(provided).
Place the flat side of mounting
bracket (included) against
the wall, then trace the inside
shape of the bracket on wall
using a pencil or thin marker.
Insert bracket (as shown) into hole
4
and carefully bend bracket tabs 90
degrees behind the dry-wall to
ensure a tight secure fit.
Attach a Decora-style wall
6
plate over the switch to
complete installation.
OPERATION
Select the CONTROL BUTTON(s) programmed to a specific window covering(s). The adjacent LEDs will illuminate to
1
indicate the CONTROL BUTTON selected.
2
To raise the window covering(s), press the UP button. To lower the window covering(s), press the DOWN button.
To stop the window covering(s) at any time, simply press the STOP button.
3
For wall switches programmed to use group function, select a control button followed by an action
4
(default: Up, Stop and Down).
For detailed product operation information, refer to the product programming instructions.
NOTE: Switches require programming in order to operate as intended.
