Installation Guide – Standard Roman Blinds
Fitting the brackets
The brackets offer two methods of installation:
- Top-Fixing: Use the single hole in the top of the bracket to fix to the lintel (the ‘ceiling’ of the recess). Make sure the position of the outermost brackets is at least 5cm away from the ends of the rail, with any other brackets evenly distributed across the width.
- Face-Fixing: Use two screws through the back plate to mount onto a facing surface (a wall or window frame). Make sure the position of the outermost brackets is at least 5cm away from the ends of the rail, with any other brackets evenly distributed across the width.
Fitting the blind
To install the blind:
- Situate the front lip of the headrail into the front of the bracket.
- Push the back of the headrail upwards to lock it into the back of the bracket.
To release the blind from the brackets at any point after installing:
- Push firmly against the blind’s headrail to disengage it from the front of the bracket.
- Twist the back of the headrail downwards to release it from the back.
Child Safety
Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes, and
inner cords that operate the product. To ensure child safety:
- Keep cords out of the reach of young children.
- Move beds, cots, and furniture away from window covering cords.
- Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
- The cord retaining device must be installed at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism to prevent looped cords from becoming slack.
- Place the retaining device on the wall and mark the position of the screw hole(s) with a pencil.
- Attach the retaining device to the wall using the fixings provided.
Operating Instructions
To operate the blind:
- Raise: Pull down on the rear part of the chain to raise the blind.
- Lower: Pull down on the front part of the chain to lower the blind.
Top Tip: At the back, the cords attach to the fabric using clips, which double as a child-safety feature. These clips are in two parts and can be easily unclipped to separate the cords from the fabric.

Child Safety
- Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords, chains, tapes and inner cords that operate the product.
- To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of the reach of young children. Cords may become wrapped around a child’s neck.
- Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering cords.
- Do not tie cords together. Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
- The cord retaining device must be installed at the maximum distance possible from the control mechanism to prevent looped cords from becoming slack.

Operating the blind
Pull down on the front part of the chain to lower the blind, and pull down on the rear part of the chain to raise the blind.
Top Tip
- If you find at any point that the blind has fallen to one side, the likelihood is that this has been caused by a simple mix-up with the controls, in that they may have been pulled the wrong way to either raise or lower, which can cause the cords to roll up unevenly. To fix this, simply use the front of the chain to fully lower the blind, then continue pulling the chain until it raises to the top. The blind should even itself out as you do, and you can prevent the same issue occurring again by making sure the chain is always pulled in the correct direction from that point forward.
- At the back, the cords attach to the fabric using clips, which double as a child-safety feature. These clips are in two parts, and can be easily unclipped to separate the cords from the fabric.
SmartView Electric Roman Blinds
Installing the battery pack
- We recommend charging the battery pack before you begin to use the blind, to ensure it starts with a full battery. Use the charger plug included – the LED on the charger plug will turn green when the battery pack is fully charged.
- When the battery pack is charged, hook it up to the blind’s motor using the motor cable.
-
Blinds ordered as ‘recess fitting’
Use the ‘hook’ brackets from the fittings kit to hang the battery pack onto the back of the blind’s headrail, as shown.
-
Blinds ordered as ‘exact fitting’
If there is not enough space behind the headrail to hang the battery pack, then it can fixed to another surface using the ‘clip’ brackets provided. The clip brackets can be either top-fixed or face-fixed.
