Operating the PowerWand™ Shade

Important: Make sure shades are mounted securely before operating.

• Tapping the UP or DOWN button for less than 2 seconds will move the shade in short steps. Holding the UP or DOWN button down for more than 2 seconds before releasing will operate the shade in a faster standard speed.
• Press the DOWN or UP button to lower or raise the shade. Press the STOP/FAVORITE to stop the shade at the desired position
• When the shade is fully lowered, tapping the UP button will close the vanes.
• To fully raise or lower the shade, simply press the UP or DOWN button for 2 seconds and then release.
  The shade will automatically stop when it reaches the upper or lower limit. (If the upper or lower limits are not set at the desired positions, see the Adjust Motor Limits below)

Upper and lower limits stops are set at the factory.
An intermediate, or “favorite” position is not set at the factory. See Setting Favorites Position for more information.

Adjusting Motor Limits

Upper and lower limits stops are set at the factory.
If you need to make adjustments to the limits, follow these instructions:

• Press the SETTING button on the back of the wand and hold it in until the motor stops beeping.
  This will clear both the upper and lower factory limits as well as a favorite if one was set.

• Set Upper Limit – Press the UP button to get the shade close to the desired upper limit and then press the STOP button to stop the shade. Tap the UP or DOWN button to move the shade to the desired position. To save, press the SETTING button until the motor beeps.

• Set Lower Limit – Press the DOWN button to get the shade close to the desired lower limit and then press the STOP button to stop the shade. Tap the UP or DOWN button to move the shade to the desired position. To save, press the SETTING button until the motor beeps.

Favorite Position

Setting and Using a Favorite Position

• Use the UP or DOWN buttons to position the shade at the desired “favorite” position. First press and hold the SETTING button on the back of the wand. While holding the SETTING button press and hold the UP button. Release both buttons when the shade beeps Your favorite position is now set.
• With the shade at either the upper or lower limit, simply press the STOP/FAVORITE button to bring the shade to the “favorite” position. To go to the “favorite” position from any other location, make sure the shade has been stopped for at least three seconds before pressing the STOP/FAVORITE button.

Changing a Favorite Position

• Use the UP or DOWN buttons to position the shade at the new desired “favorite” position. First press and hold the SETTING button on the back of the wand. While holding the SETTING button press and hold the UP button. Release both buttons when the shade beeps.
  This establishes a new “favorite” position and erases the old.

Charging the Motor Battery

When the shade begins to operate slower than normal, or only beeps when you attempt to operate, it is time to charge the battery.
First, plug the 8.4v charger into the port on the wand and the charger into an electrical outlet. A red light on the charger indicates that the battery is charging. To fully charge the batteries, allow the batteries to charge for at least 1 hour after the light on the charger turns green.
Note: A typical charge cycle can take between 4-6 hours.
