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.
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.

SKEW ADJUSTMENT (IF NECESSARY)

If the shade does not raise evenly, first make sure the mounting brackets are mounted level with each other.
If the shade is level and it still skews, roll the shade all the way down. Prepare a strip of masking tape approximately 5” long.
On the side of the shade opposite of the skewing direction, and as close to the end of the roller as possible, apply the tape with the sticky side facing the fabric. The tape should be placed on the back of the roller, out of sight.
Roll the shade up and check for skewing. If the shade is still skewing, add another strip of tape on top of the first one. If the shade is now skewing in the opposite direction, tear off about 1” of tape from the last strip installed.

HOLD DOWN BRACKETS (OPTIONAL)

Optional hold down brackets are mounted with the supplied screws.
With the shade at its proper drop, place the pin in each end cap and mark the screw holes.
Make sure the pins are level and aligned.
Raise the shade, then screw the hold down bracket into the mounting surface.
Flex the hold downs out to reinsert the bottom rail.

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.
Plug the 8.4v charger into the port on the wand.
Plug the charger into an electrical outlet.
A red light on the charger indicates that the battery is charging.
Allow the batteries to charge until the light on the charger turns green. A typical charge cycle can take between 4-6 hours.
Do not leave the charger plugged in for more than 24 hours. This could prematurely age the battery.

SHADE REMOVAL

If you need to remove your shade, follow the instructions below.
Partially lower the shade and insert a flat head screwdriver as shown.
Twist the screwdriver until the head rail disengages from the bracket.
As you release the brackets, support the head rail to keep it from falling.
For no-head rail simple reverse the installation process.

CLEANING AND CARE

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.
