QMotion UK Shades lead the industry in
battery life
• Our shades use D size alkaline batteries, while
others use AA batteries which have a fraction of
the capacity. D size batteries have 7 to 8 times
the capacity. We have patented the technology to
put the batteries inside the tube, providing
superior aesthetics with no power wires or
antenna showing.
• While balance is important, most shades are
not moving most of the day. The shade must be
ready to accept a command 24/7, that means
the shade must be awake and listening for your
commands at all times. QMotion
UK shade
engineers have painstakenly designed software
and hardware that minimise battery usage when
the shade is not being used. Our technology
stretches battery life, resulting in industry
leading time between battery changes.
• QMotion
UK uses patented techniques to
manage the weight of the shade as it is lowered.
Because of this, it takes very little energy to run
our shades up and down,meaning very low
usage of the batteries.
• Battery life is dependent on shade usage and
shade size. Larger shades, when used more, will
have lower battery life expectancy when compared
to smaller shades used less frequently.
• The graph below indicates the relative battery life
of diff erent sizes of shades and diff erent amounts
of usage of each.

QMotion UK transmitters are expected to work from
up to 9 metres away. While your individual results will
vary, and may be less in some environments, many
customers have reported even better results.
The QMotion
UK Timer Remote is a special
function device and under FCC guidelines may not
transmit at the same power as others. Range for this
is typically over 3 metres.
Distance from shade to be controlled
***Remember
each installation is
unique, height of
the window, inter-
ference and other
factors may eff ect
this expectation.***
Transmitter Normal (mt)
Single Channel 9 metre
Multi Channel 9 metre
USB Timer 3 metre
Qconnect 15 metre
Qrelay 9 metre
We recommend the use of a Qrelay when the
transmission range of a device is not suffi cient.
