Thank you for purchasing Hunter Douglas horizontal blinds. With proper installation,
operation, and care, your new blinds will provide years of beauty and performance.
Please thoroughly review this instruction booklet and the enclosed packing list before
beginning the installation.
Tools and Fasteners Needed
■ Ballpoint pen

1
⁄ 4 " hex and flathead screwdrivers
■ Level (laser level is recommended)
■ Measuring tape and pencil
■ Power drill,
3
⁄ 32 " drill bit, and
1
⁄ 4 " hex driver
In addition, you will need fasteners designed to work with your specific mounting surface(s).
■ #6 Hex Head Screws (Provided). Two 1
1

Installation Overview
To install your blind, you will need to perform the following four steps:
STEP 1: Install the Brackets
STEP 2: Connect the Power Cable
STEP 3: Install the Blind
STEP 4: Connect the Power Source, If Applicable
STEP 1 — Install the Brackets
■ Two end brackets are used to mount horizontal blinds. Wider blinds also require one or
two intermediate brackets, as shown in the tables below.
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:

➤ Outside Mount — Page 7

Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside or Ceiling Mount
Headrail Bracket Shims (Optional)
Headrail bracket shims are used to gain clearance for valance clips with inside or ceiling
mounts. One shim for each end bracket and two shims for each intermediate
bracket are included.
■ With each end bracket, first fold the shim and then position it on top of the end bracket to
gain the required clearance.
■ With each intermediate bracket, stack two
unfolded shims.
NOTE: Headrail bracket shims may also be
used to level the blind whenever the mounting
surface is uneven. The shims can be cut along
their fold line to make them fit.
Attach the End Brackets
With inside or ceiling mounts, attach the two end brackets flush against the sides of the
window casement or to the ceiling. Choose the most appropriate of the following mounting
methods:
■ Side/Top Mount (Inside mount only): Mount the end brackets with one screw through
a side hole and one screw through a top hole, as shown below left.
■ Side Mount (Inside mount only): Mount the end brackets with two screws through
diagonal side holes.
■ Top Mount (Inside or ceiling mount): Top mount the end brackets with screws through
the two top holes, as shown below right.
■ Ceiling mount only: If the end brackets are flush with the back wall, attach them with
one screw through a top hole and one screw through a rear hole.
■ Mark each required screw hole.

IMPORTANT: The front edges of the end brackets must align.
■ Use a
3
⁄ 32 " drill bit to drill holes for the mounting screws.
■ Attach the end brackets using the screws provided.
NOTE: For blinds with 2
1
⁄ 2 " slats, spacer blocks are used with inside mounts to position
the end brackets a minimum of
3
⁄ 8 " away from the glass. The spacing prevents the slats
from rubbing the glass when they are tilted open.
Attach the Intermediate Brackets (If Required)
■ Evenly space the intermediate bracket(s) between the two end brackets.
➤ Adjust spacing if needed to avoid interference with internal headrail mechanisms.
■ Attach the intermediate bracket(s) with two screws through diagonal top holes.
IMPORTANT: The rear of the end brackets and intermediate bracket(s) must align.
Proceed to “STEP 2 — Connect the Power Cable, If Applicable” on page 10.

Mount the Installation Brackets — Outside Mount
To attach the end brackets, a flat vertical surface of at least 1
3
⁄ 4 " is required.
Mark the End Bracket Locations
■ Mark where the ends of the headrail will be located.
➤ 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.
■ Make a second mark
1
⁄ 4 " to the outside of the headrail
end marks. The outer marks are where the outside
edges of the end brackets will be located.
Attach the End Brackets
NOTE: The illustrations in this section show spacer blocks mounted with the end brackets.
Spacer blocks are required for all outside mount 2
1
⁄ 2 " blinds, unless extension brackets are
used. Spacer blocks are optional for 2" slat size.
■ Align the outside edge of each end bracket with the outer marks.
■ Mark diagonal screw holes.
■ Use a
3
⁄ 32 " drill bit to drill holes for the mounting screws.
