First, make sure you have all the parts and tools required to install your shades.
ALL THE HARDWARE YOU’LL NEED:
Pencil, screw-driver, ¼” nut driver, level, and a drill with a 1⁄16” drill bit.
Then nd wooden studs where you’ll want to attach the brackets; if you need to mount your
shades to wallboard or plaster, use a secure fastener designed for hollow wall applications. For
metal surfaces, pre-drill holes and use the included screws. For concrete, stone, brick, or tile
surfaces, use a masonry drill and appropriate plugs, anchors, or screws. Additional fasteners
other than those sent with your shade may be required.
It’s important when selecting a fastener to make sure it’s designed to support the weight of the
shade. Follow the fastener manufacturer’s instruction from there on out.

Shades are shipped with the required
number of brackets for proper installation.
End brackets should be located approx-
imately 3" from either end.
Depending on the width of the shade,
additional brackets may be necessary,
evenly spaced between the two end
brackets.
Determine Placement of
Brackets and Battery Pack
Make sure that the battery wire will be
able to reach the motor.
There is a minimum of 23⁄4" needed from
the back of the bracket to the front of
the window opening.
Step 3 — Installing the Brackets
Step 2 — Brackets & Battery Pack Placement
Using the mounting bracket as a template,
measure to the edge of the bracket and
mark the hole locations with a pencil for
drilling. When mounting brackets, make
sure they are in line with each other.

Battery Pack - Attach the battery pack
clips in the desired location, with the
screws provided.
Press the battery pack into the clips.
Note: Be sure that the battery wire will
reach the motor plug at the position
that you are installing it.
Start with the top rail/fabric assembly.
The top rail is the rail with the motor in
it. Before mounting the headrail, make
sure that the receiver wire is out of
the headrail. For optimal performance
position the receiver wire so that it is
facing into the room.
Position the motor wire so that it comes
out the back side of the shade.
Be sure the motor wire is not pinched
by the bracket. Position the rail with the
front lip (A) resting on the hooks of all
the brackets. Push the rail firmly up and
toward the window until the groove on
the rail snaps into place, (B) as shown.

Step 10 — Leveling the Shade
Level the Moving Rail
Motorized Skylight Shades use a system
that allows easy leveling of the moving rail.
It is designed to make slight adjustments
(Less than 1") to level the moving rails of
your shade. It is not designed to make
length adjustments.
Use a at head screwdriver or a coin
(a quarter works the best) to turn the
adjustment screw to raise or lower that
side of the bottom rail. The adjustment
screw is on the top of the moving rail.
One quarter turn of the screw will
move the moving rail up or down
approximately 1⁄4".
Over-turning the adjustment screw
(more than 1" of adjustment) can cause
the cord to tangle or wedge inside
the rail. The screw should turn easily -
Do Not Force.

If the rail is uneven at
the top, raise the low
side with the outer
adjustment screw.
If the stack is uneven
at the bottom, lower
the high side with
the inner adjustment
screw.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
1The motor does not work and the
shade is stuck in the closed position
Carefully pull down on the moving rail
enough to allow access. Follow solution
below. If this required, limits will need to be
reset. See Setting Limits on Pg 12.
2The motor does not work 1. Check that the power source and motor
are connected properly.
2. If using a battery pack - conrm that the
batteries are fresh.
3The motor continues to run in one
direction
The limit setting was unsuccessful and
needs to be reset.
4The motor stops working or works
intermittently
If using a battery pack, replace the
batteries in the pack with 8 fresh AA
alkaline batteries.
5The indicator light on the remote
does not shine or the remote-
controlling range becomes shorter.
Replace the battery in the remote (CR2032
Lithium)

OptionalRemoving the Shade
Use the included cable ties to bundle
any excess wires.
Managing Wires
To remove a shade, insert a flat blade
screwdriver between the rail and
the bottom back of the bracket (tab
which extends out slightly from each
bracket).
Gently pry the screwdriver to release
the bracket from the headrail. Take
care not to damage the painted finish
of the headrail.
As you release the brackets, support
the headrail to keep it from falling.

SafetyCare & Cleaning
Safety First. Style Second To None™.
Great style should never come at the cost of safety. Every Smith & Noble window treatment
conforms strictly to today’s safety standards, including permanent tie-down devices and
built-in cord stops. To protect young children and pets, there’s no better way to eliminate
risk than to use one of our cordless products.
Child Safety
Care & Cleaning
Occasional light vacuuming with a soft bristle attachment or gentle feather dusting is all
that is required to keep your blinds looking fresh and neat. Most stains can be blotted
with a damp sponge and mild detergent.
Before using anything stronger than mild detergent and lukewarm water, test an
unobtrusive corner of the shade. If you have any questions, call us at 800.248.8888, we
would be glad to help.
