STEP 2: SELECT YOUR BATTERY WAND MOUNTING LOCATION
e position of the battery wand must be determined before installing the
shade in the window.
Make sure that the wire is long enough to reach from the battery wand to
the motor (at the right end of the head rail). Extension wires are available
if needed.
HEAD RAIL ATTACHMENT
Attach the clips to the headrail as pictured.
Be sure the rst clip is 6” from the end of the head rail and the second clip
is 12” from the rst. is will allow room for the installation brackets.
You must have at least 20” between bracket centerlines to t the battery
wand. (Solar kit wands require 24” between bracket centerlines)
Snap the battery wand into the clips.
WALL ATTACHMENT
Using one screw per clip, attach the clips to the wall as shown.
Be sure that the distance between the rst clip and the second clip is 12”.
Place the rubberband on the battery wand so that when the wand is in
the clips, the rubberbands will prevent the wand from sliding out. See
diagram to the right.

Shadings 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 shading, 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 20” for standard wand and 24” for solar wand between
bracket centerlines to t 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. e headrail must be level for the shading
to operate properly.

CLEANING AND CARE
e shading 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 shading. If you have any questions, call your dealer for advice.
SHADING REMOVAL
Partially lower the shading and insert a at 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.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Solution
Shading will not raise or lower 1. Check that the power source and motor are connected properly.
2. If using a battery wand - conrm that the batteries are fresh (AA
Lithium).
3. Conrm that the batteries are inserted in the wand in the correct
direction.
4. Make sure the antenna wire on the motor is fully exposed.
5. If using a solar panel, refer to the instructions that came with the
solar panel.
Shading raises when I press the DOWN button
and lowers when I press the UP button
1. With the shading in the up position press DOWN button (or visa
verse).
2. Press the MY button to stop the shading between the upper and
lower limits.
3. Press the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time (shading will
jog).
4. Press the MY button (shading will jog signalling the rotation direc-
tion change).
