Important Operating Note
If a shading has been fully lowered with the vanes open for a long period of time,
the vanes may become “set” — they may not easily close or flatten. This is a normal
characteristic of fabric products.
If this happens, move the shading up and down to coax the vanes as closed as possible.
If necessary, gently pull down on the lowest operable vane. You may also dress the vanes
gently with your hands to help them close. Then roll up the shading slowly to flatten the
vanes. Allow the fabric to remain in the headrail for up to 24 hours.
To prevent vane set, regularly “exercise” the shading by raising and lowering it and
opening and closing the vanes.

Installation Overview
To install your shading, you will need to perform the following four steps:
STEP 1: Install the Brackets
STEP 2: Connect the Battery Wand, If Applicable
STEP 3: Install the Shading
STEP 4: Connect the Power Source, If Applicable
STEP 1 — Install the Brackets
■ Your order will include the correct number of installation brackets for your shading width,
as shown in the table below.
■ Shading orders may also include spacer blocks or extension brackets, if they were
specified for added clearance.
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:

wood whenever possible. Allow a minimum of 20" from the motor side for the
battery wand/rechargeable battery wand.
