TOOLS REQUIRED

Mounting the Brackets

NOTE: Continuous Cord Loop and Motorized shades have pre-drilled holes in the top of the headrail. You will use these holes as a guide for your bracket placement. Be sure to pre-drill pilot holes in your mounting surface with a 5/64 drill bit before using the screws.

Inside Mount

  1. Grasp the shade by the headrail and hold it up inside the top of the window. Set it back until the front of the shade is flush with the wall. Hold the shade in place, and with a pencil, make a mark through each hole in the headrail. Set the shade aside.
  2. Take a bracket and center the drop-bolt over each mark. Use the holes in the top of the bracket to mark where your two screws will go.
  3. Align the brackets with the holes, and use a Phillips drill bit to securely fasten the screws.

Outside Mount

NOTE: Be sure to pre-drill pilot holes in your mounting surface with a 5/64 drill bit before using the screws.

  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. Align the brackets with the holes, and use a Phillips drill bit to fasten the screws in place.

Attaching the Shade

NOTE: This step applies to both inside and outside mounts.

  1. Remove the wingnuts from the brackets if you haven’t done so already.
  2. With the front of the shade facing you, fit 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 firmly held in place.SelectBlinds

Programming and Using Your 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.

PAIRING A SINGLE SHADE TO A CHANNEL

  1. Press the CHANNEL INCREASE or CHANNEL
    DECREASE button on the remote to select a dedicated channel for the first shade you’re pairing with the remote.

  2. Locate the MOTOR HEAD on the left end of the roller tube under the headrail. Press and hold the
    PROGRAM button until you hear a beep and the shade “jogs” quickly up and down.

  3. Press the UP button on the remote and the shade will jog again.

  4. Congrats! Your shade and remote are now paired. Repeat this process for any additional shades you want to pair with the remote, selecting a new channel (if using a multi-channel remote) before you begin. SelectBlinds MOTORIZATION Serene Collection Roman Shades fig-6

PAIRING MULTIPLE SHADES TO ONE CHANNEL
NOTE: You must have at least one shade already paired to a channel, before following the steps below.

  1. Put the shade on your selected channel into “sleep” mode. To do this, press and hold the PROGRAM button on the MOTOR HEAD until the shade jogs and you hear a long beep. Release the button to put it to sleep.
  2. Follow the steps above for “Pairing a Single Shade to a Channel” to pair a new shade while remaining on the same channel. When you’ve finished, put this shade to “sleep” as described in step 1.
  3. Repeat step 2 for any additional shades you wish to add to the channel. Once you’ve paired all the shades you want, “wake up” each shade’s motor by pressing and holding the PROGRAM button on the MOTOR HEAD until you hear a short beep.
  4. That’s it! You can now simultaneously operate all the shades paired with this channel.

ADJUSTING THE UPPER/LOWER LIMITS
Your shade’s upper and lower limits are already pre-set at the factory, so the following steps are only necessary if you want to change how these settings are configured. The upper limit can ONLY be changed after performing a factory reset (see page 4).

CHANGING THE UPPER LIMIT
NOTE: Prior to resetting the upper limit, you must first follow the instructions for performing a factory reset. This is the only way to change the upper limit.

  1. Move the shade using the UP or DOWN buttons, until it is positioned about 6” below the desired upper limit.
  2.  Press the PROGRAM button on the back of the remote. The shade will jog, indicating it’s now in programming mode.
  3. Press the UP button to move the shade to the desired upper limit. Press the PROGRAM button on the back of the remote again and the shade will jog.
  4. That’s it! You’ve now reset your shade’s upper limit, and the motor will exit programming mode automatically.

CHANGING THE LOWER LIMIT

  1. Move the shade using the UP or DOWN buttons, until it is positioned about 6” above the desired lower limit.
  2. Press the PROGRAM button on the back of the remote. The shade will jog, indicating it’s now in programming mode.
  3. Press the DOWN button to move the shade to the desired lower limit. Press PROGRAM on the back of the remote again and the shade will jog.
  4. That’s it! The lower limit is set, and the motor will exit programming mode automatically.

SETTING INTERMEDIATE POSITIONS
NOTE: You can set up to four (4) intermediate positions between the shade’s upper and lower limits. Each intermediate position must be at least 6” away from the upper and lower limits, and any other intermediate limits you program.

  1. Move the shade using the UP or DOWN buttons until it’s at least 6” away from any other limits.
  2. Press the PROGRAM button on the back of the remote. The shade will jog, indicating it’s now in programming mode.
  3. Use the UP or DOWN button to move the shade to the desired stopping position and press the PROGRAM button again. The shade will jog, indicating the new stopping point is now set.
  4. Repeat these steps to add up to four intermediate stopping points to your shade.

DELETING LOWER LIMITS AND INTERMEDIATE POSITIONS
NOTE: Lower limits and intermediate positions can be deleted and reassigned. Upper limits can only be removed by performing a factory reset.

  1. To delete a specific shade position, use the UP or DOWN buttons to move the shade to the position you want to remove.
  2. Press and hold the PROGRAM button on the back of the remote for about 7 seconds. The shade will jog once before the 7 seconds and once after. You have now deleted the limit/position from your shade.

PERFORMING A FACTORY RESET

  1. Press the PROGRAM button on the MOTOR HEAD four (4) times in a row.
  2. Press 4 times and hold on the 4th. Wait for 1 red LED flash with the 1st press, 1 red LED flash with the 2nd press, 2 red LED flashes with the 3rd, and 2 red LED flashes and a motor oscillation with the 4th. After the oscillation the memory is erased.
  3. Your shade’s memory and all presets have now been erased. To use the shade again, pair a remote to it and then set new upper/lower limits.

USING THE REMOTE TO CONTROL YOUR SHADE

  1. Press the UP or DOWN button once to move the shade to the next higher or lower position.
  2. Press the UP or DOWN button two times (once per second) and the shade will move to the upper or lower limit position without stopping at any intermediate positions you may have set.

RECHARGING THE SHADE BATTERY
NOTE: If the shade begins to move at a slower pace, the battery charge may be getting low. Plug the shade into a power outlet and charge the battery for 6 hours.

  1. Locate the charger cable behind the fabric on the left side of the headrail. Connect this cable to the provided battery charger.
  2. Plug the battery charger into the nearest wall outlet. If the cable isn’t long enough to reach an outlet, use an extension cord (not included) to bridge the gap. SelectBlinds MOTORIZATION Serene Collection Roman Shades fig-14

REPLACING THE REMOTE BATTERY
NOTE: The battery used to power your remote is a coin-shaped 3V cell battery (CR2032). Additional batteries are not included.

  1. Locate the charger port next to the programming button on the left side of the headrail. Connect the USB-C cable to the provided battery charger.
  2. Remove the old battery from the circuit board by sliding it diagonally out of the bracket holding it down. Place a new 3V cell battery in the bracket with the “+” positive side showing.
  3. Replace the back cover of the remote, and secure the battery screw. SelectBlinds MOTORIZATION Serene Collection Roman Shades fig-15

INSTALLING A WALL-MOUNT CARRIER
NOTE: A wall mount carrier is included with your remote, but it is optional to install it. If you choose to mount the carrier with the adhesive patch on the back, be sure to clean and dry the mounting surface first.

  1. Determine where you’d like to place your remote carrier in the room. It is common to place it near a light switch, or on the wall next to the window.
  2. With the carrier in the upright position, insert the provided screws to secure it to our mounting surface. For the adhesive patch, firmly press the carrier to the surface for about 30 – 45 seconds.

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.
