HARDWARE AND PARTS INCLUDED

*Recommended if mounting into hollow drywall.

TOOLS REQUIRED

1. MOUNTING THE BRACKETS

NOTE: Before installing an inside mount motorized shade, you need to first attach the battery pack to the backside of the headrail.

Figure A: Slide the two plastic clips into place in the groove, from the side of the battery pack.

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 bottom rail should have a tag with a number. This indicates the channel and remote 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 first two marks. If using your own screws instead of those provided, be sure to pre-drill a small hole with a 5/64” drill bit before the final screws go in to attach brackets.

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. 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 first two marks and at the same height. If using your own screws instead of those provided, be sure to pre-drill a small hole with a 5/64” drill bit before the final screws go in to attach brackets.

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. 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.

2. ATTACHING THE SHADE

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE MOUNT

1. Slide the swing-arm of all the brackets to the right, so that they point away from the window.
2. Place the headrail onto the brackets so that the front edge of the brackets fit under the inner front lip of the headrail. Slide the headrail left and right until the shade is centered in or over the window.
3. Hold the shade in position, and slide the swing-arms to the left on all the brackets, until they latch onto the back lip of the headrail. The shade is now installed

3. PROGRAMMING AND USING YOUR REMOTE

MOTORIZED ROMAN SHADES

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.

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 tag with two numbers on the back of each bottom rail. This indicates which channel and remote your 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 cover back onto the remote.

MOUNTING BATTERY PACK

For 1) outside mount and for 2) inside mount with a shallow windowsill, you won’t have room behind the headrail to attach the battery pack. You can either

1. attach the battery pack to the wall near the window, or 2) vertically inside the shallow windowsill, below the headrail, and as far back as possible. Note: Be sure your placement of the battery pack allows for uninterrupted operation of your shade and window.

1. To attach battery pack for outside mount:
   The most important thing to remember is to use a pencil and a level to make sure your mounting clips are aligned when you attach them to the wall. Slide the battery pack into place on the clips when ready.

2. To attach battery pack for shallow inside mount:
   With a pencil and a level, make sure the mounting clips are aligned vertically when you attach them inside the windowsill, as far back as possible toward the glass, so as not to interfere with the shade’s operation. Slide the battery pack into place on the clips when ready.

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE

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.

PAIRING THE REMOTE WITH A MOTOR

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 configured, 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 three seconds. If you don’t succeed, repeat this step a bit faster, or have someone assist you.

A. Plug the motor cable back into the battery.
B. With your finger, quickly press and hold the Confirm (C) button on the back of the remote.

When the shade jogs (a quick up and down movement), the remote is paired to the channel you’ve chosen.

DELETING A CHANNEL FROM THE MOTOR

NOTE: Removing a remote or channel from a shade does not delete or reset the limit settings.

1. Select the channel you’d like to disconnect the shade from.
2. Press the Confirm button repeatedly (about 3 – 7 presses); the shade will jog three individual times. After the third jog, your channel is removed from the shade, and ready to be assigned to a new channel or a new remote.

ADJUSTING UPPER AND LOWER LIMITS

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 configured. Both limits must be reprogrammed in these instructions.

1. Start with the shade fully raised. For a few seconds, press and hold the Limit button until the shade jogs. Your motor is now in programming mode.
2. Press Down to lower the shade until it’s almost to the bottom, then press Stop. From here, repeatedly press Down to lower the shade slowly.
3. When the shade reaches the desired bottom position, flip the remote and use your pen to press the Confirm 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, flip the remote and use your pen to press the Confirm button. The shade will jog to acknowledge that your upper limit is now set, and the motor will automatically exit programming mode.

SETTING A FAVORITE POSITION (OPTIONAL)

1. Start with the shade raised fully, then press the Down button for the shade to lower.
2. Press Stop at the position you wish to save as your favorite.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the Limit button and the Up button, until the shade jogs. Your favorite position is now set. If you wish to change the favorite position, simply repeat these steps again.

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 vacuum 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.
