NOTE: Before installing an inside mount motorized
shade, you need to rst attach the battery pack to
the backside of the headrail. Motorized lift cannot
be installed for outside mount.
Figure A: Hook the battery pack over the back lip
of the headrail, so it rests against the back.
Figure B: Clip the motor cable into the battery
pack. Be sure the antenna cable is positioned away
from the headrail, and out of contact with anything
metal.
TIP: The back of each headrail should have a label
with a number. This indicates the channel that the
shade is pre-programmed to.

INSIDE MOUNT
1. Measure 2”- 4” in from each side of the
window frame, and mark once with a pencil for your
outer brackets. The front of the bracket will face out
from the window, and the back of it will hang down
parallel to the window.
NOTE: Leave marks for any additional brackets you
need, evenly spaced between your rst two marks.
2. Center the brackets over your marks, and set
them back until the front of the bracket meets the
edge of your window. Mark through the top hole
in the bracket with your pencil. This is where your
screws will go.
3. At each of your marks, pre-drill holes with a 5/64”
drill bit.* Align each bracket with your screw holes
and drill the screws securely into place.
*If you are using wall anchors, pre-drill with a 1/4” bit
instead, and tap the wall anchors into the holes with
a hammer before drilling in the screws.
OUTSIDE MOUNT
1. Measure 2”- 4” in from each side of the window
frame. From here, measure upward another 2” - 4”,
and make a pencil mark.
NOTE: Leave marks for any additional brackets you
need, evenly spaced between your rst two marks
and at the same height.
2. Center the top edge of the brackets on your marks.
With your pencil, mark through the back holes of the
bracket. This is where your screws will go.
3. At each of your marks, pre-drill holes with a 5/64”
drill bit.* Align each bracket with your screw holes
and drill the screws securely into place.
*If you are using wall anchors, pre-drill with a 1/4” bit
instead, and tap the wall anchors into the holes with a
hammer before drilling in the screws.

NOTE: For outside mount, use your level to check
that the brackets are straight before you proceed.
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE MOUNT
CONTINUOUS CORD LOOP SHADES
NOTE: The cord tension device, also known as the
“chain tensioner,” is used to help protect pets and
young children from a potential choking hazard.
If there is plastic or any protective bands on the
chain, remove them before proceeding.
2. ATTACHING THE SHADE
3. MOUNTING THE TENSION DEVICE
OUTSIDE MOUNT
1. Raise your shade fully so it’s out of the way.
2. Pinch the ends of the tensioner together
to release the grip on the chain, then pull the
tensioner to the bottom of the chain loop.
3. While keeping the chain pulled tightly, place
the tensioner against the inside of the window
or on the wall, moving it up about 1/8 of an inch.
The goal is to make the chain taut but just slightly
loose for smooth operation.
4. Holding the tensioner in place, mark the two
screw holes with your pencil. Move the chain away
and use the marks to pre-drill your screw holes
with a 5/64” drill bit.
5. Align the holes in the tensioner with the pre-
drilled holes and fasten the screws, being careful
NOT to over-tighten the screws.
6. To use your shade, simply pull the front of the
chain to raise it, and pull the back of the chain to
lower it.
1. With the front of the shade facing you, and
holding it at a slight downward-angle, rest the lip of
the headrail against the movable tab in each of the
brackets. Then gently push it toward the back of the
brackets, while also straightening the rail, until the
hooks attach to the back lip of the headrail.

Press and hold the Down button to lower the shade.
You can release when the shade begins lowering.
Press and hold the Up button to raise the shade. You
can release when the shade begins raising.
Press the Stop button to halt the up or down
movement. If you later choose to program a favorite
position, holding the Stop button will automatically lift
or lower the shade to this position.
Choose a channel by pressing the Channel Increase
and Channel Decrease buttons. The Channel Display
at the top of the remote will illuminate the channel you
are currently on.
To operate all your shades at the same time, set the
remote to Channel 5, and then press the Channel
Increase button. This will illuminate all the Channel
Display lights, which activates motors on all channels.
HOW TO USE THE REMOTE
Your shade’s motor and remote(s) are pre-programmed at the factory, and are ready to use once the shade
is installed. Look for the label with a number on the back of each headrail. This number indicates which
channel on the remote the shade is programmed to.
All you have to do is install the battery in the remote. Open the battery compartment at the bottom of the
remote and insert the lithium battery into the round slot, positive side up. Slide the battery compartment
back into the remote.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to raise or lower your motorized shade with your hands. This may cause
permanent damage to the motor, and other components in the headrail, which may not be covered under
your warranty.

NOTE: The factory pairs each of your shades to the remote. The
following steps are only necessary if you want to change how the
channels are congured, or if you are adding a new shade to a
remote already in use.
1. Disconnect the motor cable from the battery.
2. Set the remote to whichever channel you want to program the
shade to.
3. Both parts of this step must be completed within ve seconds.

remote and use your pen to press the Conrm button. The shade will
jog to acknowledge that your lower limit is now set, but the motor is
still in programming mode.
4. Press Up to raise the shade until it’s almost to the top, then press
Stop. From here, repeatedly press Up to raise the shade slowly.
5. When the shade reaches the desired top position, ip the remote
and use your pen to press the Conrm button. The shade will jog to
acknowledge that your upper limit is now set, and the motor will
automatically exit programming mode.
NOTE: The upper and lower limits are already set-up at the factory, so the following steps are only
necessary if you want to change how these settings are congured. Both limits must be reprogrammed in
these instructions.

in the top of the bracket to mark where your two screws will go.
3. Pre-drill the screw holes for each bracket with a 5/64” drill bit.* Align
the brackets with the holes, and use a 1/4” nut driver bit (or Phillips drill
bit) to securely fasten the screws.
*If you are using wall anchors, pre-drill with a 1/4” bit instead, and tap the
wall anchors into the holes with a hammer before drilling in the screws.
NOTE: Corded and cordless shades have pre-drilled
holes in the top of the headrail. You will use these
holes as a guide for your bracket placement.

1. Center and hold the headrail at least
two inches above the window. While
keeping the shade level, make a small
line with your pencil just above each of
the pre-drilled holes in the headrail. Set
the shade aside.
2. Align the top edge of a bracket along
each mark, and use the holes in the back
of the bracket to mark where your two
screws will go.
3. Pre-drill the screw holes for each
bracket with a 5/64” drill bit.* Align
the brackets with the holes, and use a
1/4” nut driver bit (or Phillips drill bit) to

2. ATTACHING THE SHADE
INSIDE AND OUTSIDE MOUNT
1. Remove the wingnuts from the brackets if you haven’t done so already.
2. With the front of the shade facing you, t the pre-drilled holes of the headrail to each of the drop-bolts on
the brackets. While holding the headrail to the brackets with one hand, use your other hand to attach each of
the wingnuts to the drop-bolts. Tighten the wingnuts until the shade is rmly held in place.
3. If you have a standard corded shade, pull the cords down and toward the inside of the window to release
the cord lock and lower it. To raise it, pull the cords down and away from the window to engage the cord lock
so your shade stays in position.
*If you are using wall anchors, pre-drill with a 1/4”
bit instead, and tap the wall anchors into the holes
with a hammer before drilling in the screws.

STANDARD CORDED SHADES
WARNING: Blinds and shades with cords present a
strangulation risk for young children and pets. Cord
cleats are included as an important safety feature.
Please follow the steps below to properly install them.
If you need extra cleats, call our Customer Care team
and we’ll send them to you for free.

4. ATTACHING THE LIFT HANDLE
CORDLESS ROMAN SHADES
NOTE: Cordless roman shades come with a clear plastic
handle to help protect the fabric over multiple uses.
1. At the bottom pleat of the roman shade, locate the
sewn-in hem bar.
2. Clip the handle to the center of the bottom hem bar.
3. To operate, grab the handle with your hand, and gently
lift or lower the hem bar; the shade will stay in place when
released.
1. Place the cord cleat inside, or next to the window
frame, so it’s well out of reach of small hands and paws
(typically 4’-5’ above the oor). For inside mount, be sure
the cleat is set behind the fabric, close to the window.
2. Use your pencil to mark through the hole in the cord
cleat. You can pre-drill a hole with a 5/64” drill bit to
make the screw easier to install, if you prefer.
3. Align the hole in the cord cleat with your mark and
attach with screw provided. Do NOT over-tighten the
screw!
4. After lifting or lowering the shade with the control
cords, wrap the cords around the cord cleat to safely
tuck them away. If you choose to install 2 cord cleats on
one window, repeat steps 1-3 to install the second cleat
upside-down, just under the rst one. You can then wrap
your cords in a gure 8 around both cleats.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: All fabrics are different and some may be easier to clean than others. We recommend cleaning your
shades as often as once a month. Here are some general guidelines on how to do so:
1. For regular maintenance, use a duster or a vaccum with a brush attachment and run it over the front and back
of the shade.
2. To spot clean stains, use a damp rag with a very mild, gentle detergent or soap. Dab at the affected spots; do
NOT rub! Let the dampened area air-dry and repeat as necessary.
3. If your roman shade has wrinkles, you can use a basic steamer to remove them. Hold the steamer roughly six
inches away from the fabric and wave the steamer back and forth over the wrinkled areas.
