Text of the manual

A few simple tools are required:

- Measuring tape - Power drill, drill bits - 1⁄4” Hex head and/or Phillips driver bit - Pencil GETTING STARTED 1 1⁄4” Hex Head Bracket Screw Head rail Extension and Sidemount Bracket (optional) Spacer Block (optional) Additional fasteners other than those sent with your shade may be required depending on the mounting surface. Wallboard and plaster require the use of anchors such as expansion or toggle bolts. Brick, tile or stone need special plugs and drill bits. Remember to always pre-drill holes in wood to avoid splitting. Mounting Bracket Hold Down Bracket (optional) STEP 1: BRACKET INSTALLATION PN: CS5402 PN: 20201012 PN: CS1000 PN: CS2000 Shades are shipped with the required number of brackets for proper installation. End brackets should be located approximately 3” from either end. Depending on the width of the shade, additional brackets may be necessary, evenly spaced between the two end brackets. If mounting the battery wand to the head rail, bracket positions may need to be adjusted to accomodate the battery wand. You must have at least 19” between bracket centerlines to fit the battery wand. Using the installation bracket as a template, measure to the edge of the bracket and mark the hole locations with a pencil for drilling. Brackets must be in line and level. Shim brackets on inside mounts if necessary. The head rail must be level for the shade to operate properly. Shade Width # of Brackets Up to 40” 2 >40” - 72” 3 >72”- 84” 4 >84” and up 5 INSIDE MOUNT The minimum mounting depth for an inside mount is 1”. A minimum of 3 3⁄4” is needed to fully recess the shade. Make sure the brackets are level and aligned. Attach using two screws.

EXTENSION BRACKETS (OPTIONAL)

Optional extension brackets are used to project the back of the shade up to 2 1⁄2” from the mounting surface. Attach the mounting bracket to the extension bracket with the nut and bolt provided. SIDE MOUNT (OPTIONAL) Measure from window sill up to desired mounting position on each side of the window frame. Mark position. Mount side mount brackets on each side of window frame as shown. Make sure to confirm the head rail will sit perfectly level. Once side mount brackets are installed and properly positioned, attach the mounting brackets using the nuts and bolts provided. Side Mount Minimum 2” surface Outside Mount with Extension Brackets Minimum 2” surface SPACER BLOCKS (OPTIONAL) Each spacer block projects brackets 3⁄8” away from mounting surface. Make sure the brackets are level and aligned. Attach using two screws. Screws should be long enough to secure the bracket to the mounting surface. Outside Mount with Spacer Blocks 2” 2 1⁄2” OUTSIDE MOUNT The minimum mounting height for outside mounted shades is 1”. Make sure the brackets are level and aligned. Attach using two screws. Outside Mount Minimum 1” surface 1” 2”

Idler Side Bracket Motor Side bracket

Foot T-Hook The installation brackets are always mounted so that the inner surfaces face each other. Brackets must be in line and level. Shim brackets on inside mounts if necessary. The head rail must be level for the shade to operate properly. SHADES WITH NO HEAD RAIL STEP 2: BATTERY WAND INSTALLATION (IF TRANSFORMER SKIP TO STEP 3) WALL MOUNT Attach the wand clips in the desired location with the screws provided. Before mounting the wand, make sure that the wand and excess wire will not interfere with the operation of the shade. Extension wires are available if needed. Press the wand into the clips. Please Note: Be sure battery wire will reach motor plug. HEAD RAIL MOUNT Attach the wand clips to the back of the head rail as shown. Important: Position the clip so that the battery wand will be between mounting brackets. Before mounting the wand, make sure that the wand and excess wire will not interfere with the operation of the shade. Extension wires are available if needed. Press the wand into the clip. Please Note: Be sure battery wire will reach motor plug. Inside Mount Minimum 1 1⁄2” surface Outside Mount Minimum 1 1⁄2” surface 1 1⁄2” 1 1⁄2”

STEP 3: SHADE INSTALLATION

Push the rail back until it is fully engaged Center the shade in the window opening and push the head rail into the mounting brackets as shown. Once the brackets are secured and level, the fabric roll can be inserted. Make sure your hands are clean to avoid soiling the fabric. Insert the foot of the motor-side bracket into the slotted center hole of the motor end of the fabric roll. The wire should be positioned so that it goes up on an inside mount or back on an outside mount. This will provide easy access to the setting button. Set the post of the idler end into the V of the support bracket. Rotate the T-hook on the support bracket to lock in the post and secure the fabric roll.

Plug the transformer wire into the motor wire. Secure

the wire behind the shade and along the window casing as required. Plug the transformer into an electrical outlet. If the wire is not long enough to reach, optional 48” extension wires are available. BATTERY WAND Plug the battery wand wire into the motor wire. STEP 4: CONNECT POWER SOURCE - BATTERY WAND/TRANSFORMER The factory has set your shade to the channel that was specified at the time of order. If no channel was specified, the shade was set to operate on channel 1 and “all”. Select the desired channel with the CHANNEL buttons. The channel indicator light will illuminate the channel that is on. If all 5 lights are lit the remote will control all 5 channels at once. Tapping the UP or DOWN buttons for less than 2 seconds will move the shade in short steps. Holding the UP or DOWN buttons down for more than 2 seconds before releasing, will operate the shade in the faster standard speed. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to raise or lower the shade. Press the STOP button to stop the shade anywhere along the travel. 1 2 3 4 5 Channel Display Up Stop Down Channel + Channel -

HOLD DOWN BRACKETS (OPTIONAL)

SKEW ADJUSTMENT (IF NECESSARY) If the shade does not raise evenly, first make sure the mounting brackets are mounted level with each other. If the shade is level and it still skews, operate the shade to the full down position. Prepare a strip of masking tape approximately 5” long. On the side of the shade opposite of the skewing direction, and as close to the end of the roller as possible, lift the fabric toward the back of the shade using your fingers and slide the tape with the sticky side facing the roller up as far as possible. The tape is to be running parallel to the roller. Roll the shade up and check for skewing. If the shade is still skewing, add another strip of tape on top of the first one. If the shade is now skewing in the opposite direction, tear off about 1” of tape from the last strip installed. The tape is to be torn from the end closest to the center of the shade. Place tape at this end Optional hold down brackets are mounted with the supplied screws. With the shade at its proper drop, place the pin of each hold down into the hole in each end cap and mark the screw holes. Make sure the pins are level and aligned. Raise the shade, then screw the hold down bracket into the mounting surface.

If you need to remove your shade, follow the instructions

below. Partially lower the shade and insert a flat head screwdriver as shown. Twist the screwdriver until the head rail disengages from the bracket. As you release the brackets, support the head rail to keep it from falling. CLEANING AND CARE The shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner brush is recommended. Most stains can be blotted with a damp sponge and mild detergent. Before using anything stronger than mild detergent and lukewarm water, test an unobtrusive corner of the shade. If you have any questions, call your dealer for advice. TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM SOLUTION The motor does not work 1. Check that the power source and motor are connected properly 2. If using a battery wand - confirm that the batteries are fresh and are placed in the wand in the correct orientation. The motor continues to run in one direction The limit setting was unsuccessful and needs to be reset The indicator light on the remote does not shine or the remote-controlling range becomes shorter Replace the battery in the remote (CR2430 lithium) The motor stops working or works intermittently If using a battery wand, replace the batteries in the wand with 8 fresh AA alkaline batteries REPLACING THE BATTERY IN THE REMOTE Remove the battery tray from the remote by inserting a fingernail into the indentation on the back of the remote. To avoid the battery falling out of the remote, remove the tray while the remote is face up. Insert the new battery (CR2430 lithium) into the battery tray so that the writing is facing up when the remote is face up. Slide the tray back into the remote.
