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 approximately 3" from either
end.
Depending on the width of the shade,
additional brackets may be necessary,
evenly spaced between the two end
brackets.
Placement of Battery Pack
Shades 20" wide and wider have the
rechargeable battery inside the head rail.
Shades under 20" wide require the
rechargeable battery to be mounted on
the back of the head rail. This requires an
additional 1⁄2" clearance for mounting.
STEP 3 — INSTALLING THE BRACKETS
STEP 2 — 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.

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.

STEP 8 — 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.

PAIRING THE REMOTE
For added protecon, your remote control
arrived with a protecve lm on top. Please
remove this lm prior to use.
Your shades will need to be paired to the
remote prior to operang your shade. See Pair
the Remote below.
Pair The Remote
This remote control has 14 channels. Before
pairing the remote, determine which shade(s)
you want on which channel. All shades paired to
a remote will also automacally be programmed
to the “ALL” channel.
It is recommended to only pair one shade per
channel unless it is absolutely necessary to
group shades other than the “ALL” channel. This
simplies adjusng limits and seng favorites.
If a baery is not already installed in the remote,
follow the instrucons REPLACE BATTERY IN
REMOTE.
The 14 Channel remote may also be used to
operate top down-bottom up Cellular shades.
You can not mix a standard bottom up only
shade and a TD/BU shade on the same channel.

RAIL SELECTOR and DOWN buons
at the same me unl the rail selector
number disappears from the le side of
the screen.
Select the desired channel with the CHANNEL
buon.
Raise and Lower Shade
Press the UP or DOWN buons to raise or
lower the shade.
Tapping the UP or DOWN buons for less
than 2 seconds will move the shade in short
steps. Holding the UP or DOWN buons down
for more than 2 seconds before releasing will
operate the shade at the faster standard speed.
Press the STOP buon to stop the shade at the
desired posion.
5. Press the SETTING button on the motor
until the motor starts to beep. Release the
button immediately after the beeps start.
The motor will make 4 fast beeps followed
by 5 long beeps. Press the CONFIRM
button on the remote anytime during the
series of long beeps. It must be pressed
before the last long beep. The motor will
respond with 3 fast beeps confirming that
the shade has been paired.

When the shade begins to operate

Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
A red light on the charger indicates that
the baery is charging.
To fully charge the baeries, allow the
baeries to charge for at least 1 hour
aer the light on the charger turns
green. A typical charge cycle can take
between 4-6 hours.
Determine Solar Panel Placement
The solar panel should be placed where it
gets the maximum amount of sunlight per
day.
In most cases, this can be achieved by
mounng the unit directly to the glass with
double sided tape.
Brackets are provided if aaching to the
glass is not possible.
The brackets may be mounted several
dierent ways depending on the applicaon
(window depth, window width, etc.).
The unit requires 19" minimum window
width to mount horizontally.

Tape Method
Cut the tape to t inside the white
border as shown. Clean the ends of the
solar panel where the tape will go with
rubbing alcohol. When dry, remove the
release liner from one side of the double
sided tape and adhere them to face of the
panel.
Make sure to put the tape on the face
(black side) of the panel.
Clean the window surface with rubbing
alcohol. When dry, remove the release
liners and aach the solar panel to the
glass, pressing rmly to adhere.
Note: It is important to clean both
surfaces with alcohol as debris or oils will
compromise the bond.
Double sided tape can be removed from
the window surface by using a at razor
knife. Adhesive residue can be removed
by using a liquid adhesive remover.
Bracket Method
If using brackets, set the boom groove
of the unit onto the boom bracket hook.
Then press the top of the unit unl it
snaps into place.
If space is limited it may be easier to
aach the brackets to the solar unit
before screwing the brackets in place.

SAFETY
CARE & CLEANING
Care & Cleaning
The shade fabric is easy to care for. Regular dusting with a feather duster or vacuum cleaner
brush is recommended. 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 your dealer for advice.
