GETTING STARTED
Thank you for purchasing Hunter Douglas Silhouette®Window Shadings. With proper installation,
operation, and care, your new shadings will provide years of beauty andperformance.
Please thoroughly review this instruction booklet before beginning the installation. If your
shading has a protective plastic cover on the fabric-covered headrail, keep the plastic in place
until the shading is installed.

Importance of Limit Stops on Silhouette Window Shadings
Limit stops serve as the upper travel limit for the bottom rail, preventing it from rotating
around the fabric roll. Limit stops are located 6" from the ends of the headrail or are
centered on shadings less than 36" wide.
When a shading is made, the limit stops are adjusted according to the size of the fabric
roll. Occasionally, this adjustment changes during shipping or installation. If this happens,
problems can be fixed by readjusting the limit stops. See page 22 in the Troubleshooting
section if shading operation is difficult or if the bottom rail rotates around the fabric roll.
Shown below are the four possible positions of limit stops for large to small fabric rolls.
Large Fabric Roll Small Fabric Roll

Installation Overview
To install your shading, you will need to perform the following four steps:
STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets
STEP 2: PowerView®and SoftTouch™Only: Connect the Power Cable
STEP 3: Install the Shading
STEP 4: Connect the Power Source, If Applicable
STEP 1: Mount the Installation Brackets
 The number of installation brackets required
varies with shading width, as shown in thetable.
Mounting Types and Window Terminology
If the installation brackets are mounted correctly, the rest of the installation process follows
easily. To prepare for this important first step, review the mounting types and basic window
terminology illustrated below.
 Refer to the appropriate page below based on your order:

Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside Mount
Prepare the Installation Brackets
The purpose of the back cover bracket is to provide an attachment for the optional back cover.
The top tab ensures that there is clearance for the battery wand.
 If using the optional back cover:
NOTE: If you have a battery wand, do not
remove the top tab on the back cover bracket.
 If you have a satellite battery pack or an
18V DC power supply, remove the top tab
on the back cover bracket.
 Snap the back cover bracket into the metal
installation bracket.
 Place the back cover into the slots on the
top and bottom of the bracket.
 If not using the optional back cover:
 If you have a battery wand, remove the
bottom tab from the back cover bracket.
 Snap the back cover bracket into the metal
installation bracket. This ensures adequate
space for the battery wand.
 If you have a satellite battery pack or an
18V DC power supply, it is not necessary
to use the back cover bracket.
Mount the Installation Brackets
 Mark 2" from each jamb for bracket location.
 If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s)
between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever
possible.
 For PowerView®shadings with battery wand, allow a minimum of 17" between bracket
centerlines for the battery wand.
Remove top tab if using a satellite
batter
y pack or an 18V DC power supply.

battery wand and no back cover.

 Review the minimum depth requirements in the table below.
 Center the installation brackets on your marks and mark the location of the screwholes.
 Allow sufficient rear clearance when positioning the
brackets. With no back cover, the bottom tab provides the
necessary clearance (
1
/ 4 ") for all systems except PowerView
and SoftTouch with a battery wand, which requires
7
/ 8 " rear
clearance. (Rear clearance is the distance between the back
of the installation bracket and the glass or frame.)
Add an extra
1
/ 4 " of rear clearance if the optional back
cover is used.
 Use a level to check that the mounting surface is level. Shim
(not provided) the brackets, if necessary.
 Use a
3
/ 32 " drill bit to drill holes for the mounting screws.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
 Attach the installation brackets using the screws provided.
NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws. Check to ensure the lever
can be moved easily side to side. If the lever is not moving easily,
loosen the screws in one-eighth turn increments until it can be
moved easily.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets must
be level and aligned to each other.

Mount the Installation Brackets — Outside Mount
 Center the headrail over the window opening at the desired height. Use a pencil to lightly
mark each end of the headrail.
 Alternatively, measure the width of the headrail and use that width to mark the headrail
end points over the window opening.
 Mark 2" from each of the headrail end marks for bracket location.
 If more than two installation brackets came with your order, space additional bracket(s)
between the two end brackets and mark their location. Mount into wood whenever
possible.
 For PowerView®and SoftTouch™shadings with battery wand, allow a minimum of 17"
between bracket centerlines for the battery wand.
 Center the installation brackets on your marks and mark the location of the screw holes.
 A minimum 1" flat vertical height is required to mount the
installation brackets.
 Position the top of the installation brackets at the desired
height of the shading. The brackets must be level and
aligned.
CAUTION: The rear of the blocks/brackets must be flush
against a flat mounting surface. Do not mount brackets
oncurved molding.
IMPORTANT: Additional clearance is required for PowerView and SoftTouch shadings with a
battery wand. See “Additional Clearance with Spacer Blocks” on page 7.
 Use a
3
/ 32 " drill bit to drill holes for the mounting screws.
CAUTION: Use drywall anchors when mounting into drywall.
 If no additional clearance is required, attach the installation
brackets directly to the mounting surface using the screws
provided.
IMPORTANT: The front edges of the installation brackets
must be level and aligned to eachother.

Additional Clearance with Spacer Blocks
NOTE: A minimum of
3
/ 4 " additional clearance is required for PowerView®and SoftTouch™
shadings with a battery wand.
 If using
1
/ 4 " or
1
/ 2 " spacer blocks, attach the spacer
block(s) and installation bracket to a flat vertical
mounting surface with #6screws long enough for
asecure installation.
IMPORTANT: The solid side of the spacer blocks
must face toward the mounting surface.
Additional Clearance with Extension Brackets
 If using extension brackets, attach each extension bracket
to the mounting surface using the screws provided.
 Attach an installation bracket to the underside of each
extension bracket using the provided screws and speed
nuts.
NOTE: The maximum amount of added clearance using
extension brackets is 3".

STEP 2: PowerView®and SoftTouch™Only — Connect the Power Cable
For an optional satellite battery pack, 18V DC power supply, 18V DC power supply with daisy-
chain connections, C-size satellite battery wand, or large DC power supply, the power source will
be connected after the shading is installed.
Battery Wand
Install the Battery Wand Clips
 Attach the battery wand clips to the headrail.
IMPORTANT: Position the clips close to the power cable.
Mount the Battery Wand into the Battery Wand Clips
 Position the battery wand with its socket toward
the motor end of the shading.
 Push the battery wand straight up into the
battery wand clips until it snaps into place.
Check to make sure the battery wand is secure.
CAUTION: Be sure the cables do not
become pinched by the battery wand clips
during installation. Damage or overheating of
components could result.
Plug the Power Cable into the Battery Wand
NOTE: When power is connected to the motor, a green LED inside the programming button
housing will flash to indicate the shading is ready for operation.
 From the back of the shading headrail, connect
the power cable (from the motor side) into the
socket on the battery wand.
Place the socket
toward the motor end.
