INSTALLATION
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 table 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:
 Inside/Ceiling Mount — Below
 Outside Mount — Page 4
Mount the Installation Brackets — Inside or Ceiling Mount
Bracket Shims (Optional)
Bracket shims are used to gain clearance for valance clips with inside 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

Troubleshooting
 First review the guide that came with your control device.
 Refer to the following troubleshooting procedures for specific solutions for your blind.
If questions remain, please contract Kirsch®at 844-KIRSCH2 (844-547-7242).
Problem The blind will not fit into the installation brackets.
Solution Check that the installation brackets are level and aligned. Adjust and/or shim to level, if necessary.
Be sure the heads of the screws are flush against the installation brackets.
Check that the headrail is completely inserted into the installation brackets. See “Mount the Headrail” on page 7.
Problem Batteries in the battery wand need to be replaced.
Solution Replace the batteries in the battery wand.
Squeeze the cap latch to release the cap and remove the cap from the
battery wand.
Install the batteries according to the instructions on the battery wand label.
Press the cap on until it latches.
NOTE: Kirsch recommends AA alkaline batteries for use with our battery-
powered blinds. These will provide more than one year operation, depending
on usage. Lithium and rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
Problem The blind does not raise or lower evenly.
Solution Check inside the headrail. Make sure no obstructions keep the mechanism from turning.
Check that the li cords are not pinched or tangled.
Problem Li cords are bunching by the safety cord connector.
Solution Make sure the slats are in the open position. Raise and lower the blind to straighten the li cords.
Problem Li cords are stuck or jammed.
Solution Check the cords and the moveable pin in the cordlock mechanism inside the headrail of the blind. Make sure the
cords can move freely. If the cords are jammed, use a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to move the pin and free the
cords.
Problem Decorative tapes are wrinkled aer installation.
Solution Use a steamer to steam out the wrinkles. Wave the steamer in front of the tapes for a few seconds. Do not touch the
slats with the steamer. To avoid stretching the tapes, do not pull down on the bottom rail while steaming.
Problem When hanging, the slat pack appears to be skewed toward the cordlock side of the unit, particularly in an inside
mount installation.
Solution Slide the headrail in the end brackets in the opposite direction of the skew and adjust the tabs in the end brackets to
maintain the position of the unit, This will center the slat pack in the window.

The blind may need to be reset. Refer to “Resetting the Blind (If Necessary)” on page 14.
Problem The LED light behind the programming button of the transceiver assembly signals 8 red blinks.
Solution This is the low battery indicator. Replace the batteries in the battery wand.
Removing the Blind (If Necessary)
 Fully raise the blind.
 To remove the valance with magnetic valance clips, see page 6.
 Push up on the bottom end of the bracket to release the locking tab.
 Grab underneath the headrail using both hands and carefully pull the blind out of the end brackets.
Cleaning Procedures
Like any fine furnishings, Kirsch®Alternative Wood Blinds Collection should be cleaned regularly to keep them looking new.
Dusting
 Dust regularly. Use a soft clean cloth, chemically-treated dust cloth, or dusting mitt. Lower the blind until it is full length, tilt
the slats almost all the way down, and dust. Then tilt the slats almost all the way up and dust. (Not closing the slats all the way
allows dusting where the slats overlap.)
 Blinds may also be vacuumed. Use the brush attachment and tilt the slats up and down as described for dusting.
 Another way to clean blinds is simply by wiping them with a soft, damp cloth.

Cord Cleats
Kirsch®offers cord cleats and we recommend their use.
 Attach two cords cleats 6" to 12" apart at a height where they will be out of the reach of children. Take into
account that a child may stand on furniture attempting to reach the cords. Be sure the cleats are firmly secured.
 Once the cleats are attached, wrap excess cords around them after each use of the blind.
