SelectBlinds Natural Cordless Top Down Bottom Up Woven Wood Shades
Product Information
The Cordless Woven Natural Shade is designed to provide a safer shading solution for children and pets. It features a double cording system on the back to minimize the risk of entanglement. Made with materials harvested from nature, each shade is unique with variations in color, grain, texture, striations, and warping. Over time, exposure to light will soften and slightly darken the shade’s color. Small cracks in bamboo slats are natural and unavoidable.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ROMAN STYLE NATURAL SHADE
This product is designed to make your shade safer for children and pets.
However, this shade is substantially different than the traditional shades
that you might be accustomed to. This shade has a double cording system on the
back of the shade to help minimize the possibility of a child or pet becoming
entangled in the cords.
See the operating instructions toward the back of this handbook for additional
information about the function of your shade.
Color, Materials and Characteristics:
Your woven natural shade is made with materials harvested from nature. Each
harvest of natural fibers is unique and will have variations in color, grain,
texture, striations and warping. As a result of these inherent qualities, no
two shades are identical, nor can they be. Over time, exposure to light will
soften and slightly darken the color of the shade. Small cracks in bamboo
slats are natural and unavoidable.

Use a 3/32” drill bit to predrill screw holes. Use a
¼” drill bit for wall anchors.
Step 3. Bracket Location and Installation
Your shade may be installed either inside the window frame or outside the
window frame.
For Outside Mounting
Place a bracket on both ends of the head rail (and one in the center for
larger shades). Hold the shade level at the height 
desired and center it over the window opening – mark
the exact location of each bracket with a pencil. Remove the brackets from the
head rail and position each bracket at the marked location. Mark the location
of each screw hole with a pencil.
Predrill the screw holes with a 3/32” drill bit. Screw each bracket into the
wall or window molding using the 1” screws.
For Inside Mounting:
Place a bracket on both ends of the
head rail (and one in the center for larger shades). Hold the shade in place
and make a pencil mark at the rear of each bracket where it contacts the
inside of the window frame. Remove the brackets from the head rail and align
them with the marks. Mark the location of each screw hole with a pencil.
Predrill the screw holes with a 3/32” drill bit. Attach each bracket using the
1” screws.
Step 4. Securing the Head Rail
Lift the head rail into position – place a washer and wing nut on the post of
each bracket – tighten by hand.
Step 5. How to Operate
To lower shade: hold the center of the bottom of the shade and pull downward
slowly until the shade reaches the desired level. To lift shade: place your
hand (palm facing up) under the bottom of the shade and push upward slowly –
if the shade material bunches-up, stop momentarily and then continue pushing
upward – do this repeatedly if necessary until the shade reaches the desired
height.
IMPORTANT
Always push and pull at the center of the shade to assure that the bottom of
the shade remains even (i.e. parallel to the top of the shade). For wide
shades (>48”) use two hands, shoulder width apart or wider.
If the shade becomes uneven, slowly pull it all the way down, and then lift to
the desired position. If necessary, reach behind the shade and manually pull
the cording slowly out of the head rail until the bottom of the shade is
level.

Activating the motor: Press the program button for 1 second – the Red
indicator light will flash – the motor is now “ON” IMPORTANT
The Upper & Lower limit positions (full UP & DOWN positions) have been pre-
set at the factory – also, a Channel Number has been assigned to each shade –
therefore, it is not necessary to perform Steps 1, 2 & 3 below – however, we
recommend that you read these to familiarize yourself with the basics of
programming the motor and remote control and to fully understand the function
of your motorized shade. Also, note that the batteries in the motor are fully
charged at the factory prior to shipment.
-
Channel Selection for Each Shade
When you receive your shades the channel number pre-assigned to each shade will be marked on the shade and/or carton. Per the notice above, it is not necessary to perform Steps 1, 2 &3 as these settings are done at the factory and will require no adjustment under normal circumstances. A channel number must be assigned to each motor/shade. The assigned numbers should be sequential starting with #1 (1, 2, 3 etc.). Press the channel buttons/arrows to select a dedicated channel for each shade prior to mating each shade/motor to the remote controller. -
