Install the Shade
 Fit the front channel on top of the headrail onto the front lip
of installation brackets.
 Push the headrail up and back until it snaps into place.
 Check to ensure the headrail is securely in the brackets.
 Check that the bottom of the headrail is snapped into the
base of each bracket.
 Check that the front lip of each bracket is in the front
channel of the headrail.
 If any brackets are not installed correctly, release the shade
and reinstall. See “Removing the Shade, If Necessary” on
page15.
Attach the Universal Cord Tensioner(s)
Before you proceed, you must first slide the cord
tensioner(s) to the bottom of the cord loop.
 Insert a small screwdriver, punch, or awl through the
screw hole at the bottom of the cord tensioner.
 Move the screw hole down to the indicator line to
release the safety mechanism.
 Slide the cord tensioner down to the bottom of the
cord loop.
 Attach the cord tensioner(s) according to the
instructions provided with the Universal Cord
Tensioner Installation Kit.
WARNING: It is imperative that the cord tensioner(s) be properly secured
to the wall or window frame to reduce children’s access to the cord loop.
Young children can strangle in cord loops. They can also wrap cords
around their necks and strangle.
CAUTION: The shade will not operate properly unless the cord
tensioner(s) is secured. A Universal Cord Tensioner Installation Kit has
been included with your shade. Follow the instructions in the kit to
correctly secure the cord tensioner(s).
