(varies by size and style of shade).
Shades ordered over 72″ wide, will b (2) shades joined by a Connector Device.
The above bracket quantities apply for each shade.
b. 11/8″ Screws| 2 per bracket
c. Hold Down Brackets| 2 per shade
d. 3/8″ Screws (for hold downs)| 2 per bracket
e. Handle for Bottom Rail| 1 (for shades up to 59″ wide)
2 (shades over 59″ wide)
f. Handle for Middle Rail| 1 (for shade up to 59″ wide)
2 (shades over 59″ wide)
g. Head Rail Connector| 1 (shades over 72″ wide)

[Note: one extra screw of each noted size is included for convenience]

Step 2. Tools Required

Screwdriver, tape measure, pencil, drill, drill bits, step ladder.
Note: use #6 plastic anchors for dry wall or plaster mounting (not included).
Drill Bits: for screws, use a 3/32” drill bit – for wall anchors, use 1/4” drill bit.

Step 3. Bracket Location and Installation

Your shade may be installed either inside the window frame or outside the window frame.
A mounting bracket should be positioned about 1” to 6” from each end of the head rail. For wider shades that require 3 or more brackets, these should be spaced evenly between the two outermost brackets. Always position the brackets such that there is no interference with the cords and/or mechanisms inside the head rail. The procedure outlined below will assure proper bracketplacement.

Attaching the brackets:

To attach the brackets the locking arm should be facing out. Then position the bracket so that it engages the inner front and outer back of the head rail, and then push the locking arm inward to lock it in place.

For Outside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the head rail as described above. 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 the top of

each bracket at the marked location and screw each bracket into the wall or window molding using the 11/8” screws, pre-drill the screw holes using a 3/32” drill bit.
For Inside Mounting:
Clip the brackets onto the head rail as described above. 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. Attach
each bracket using the 11/8” screws, pre-drill the screw holes using a 3/32” drill bit.

Step 4. Attach Handle(s)

Attach the Handle to the bottom rail as illustrated. The handle is designed to minimize contact with the shade fabric. Always raise and lower the shade SLOWLY(!) to assure that the pleated fabric stacks neatly.
Wider shades have (2) Handles – to precisely determine the correct position for each handle, divide the total width of the shade by 4, and then attach one handle that distance from each outside edge of the shade – always grasp both handles when lifting and lowering the shade.

For Day/Night cordless shades, attach the 2nd handle to the Middle Rail as illustrated.

Step 5. How to Operate

IMPORTANT
Operating & Care Instructions for Cell Shades
READ CAREFULLY

• Make sure that the Handles have been attached to the rail(s) as described above (see Step 4)
• To maintain optimal performance of the springs that make your cordless shade function, lift and lower your shade through its full range of motion – all the way up and down – every day if possible.
• For shades with a single handle, which must be centered on the rail(s), lift or lower the shade slowly and evenly, keeping the rail(s) level, until the shade is positioned as desired.
• For wider shades with a double set of handles, grasp the handles using both hands and lift the shade slowly and evenly, being sure to keep the rail(s) level.
• If you have trouble lifting your cordless shade:
  If the shade is left in one position for a long period of time, it might be necessary to lift and lower the shade several times to restore normal function.
  If the shade has been fully raised for a long period of time, it might tend to spring-back (rebound) slightly from the desired length position. This can also be remedied by lifting and lowering the shade several times.

Always raise and lower the shade SLOWLY(!) to assure that the pleated fabric stacks neatly.
To lower/raise the shade from the bottom: grip the bottom rail handle(s) and slowly pull straight down. To raise the shade, grip the bottom rail handle(s) and push up slowly. Always keep the bottom rail level.
To lower and raise the shade from the top: grip the middle rail handle(s) and slowly pull straight down or push straight up.
Adjusting an Unlevel Bottom Rail
Should the rail become uneven, pull the shade all the way down, and then push it all the way up before setting it at the desired height.

Step 6. Installing Hold-Down Brackets

Hold down brackets are provided for optional use. These brackets should be used only if the shade is to be in a permanently lowered position. With the shade fully lowered, make pencil marks at the outside ends of the bottom rail. Brackets should be lined up to the pencil marks and screwed into place using the 3/8” screws. Insert the pins protruding from the brackets into the holes on both ends of the bottom rail (see illustration).

Step 7. 2-in-1 Connector for Wide Windows

Connect the Head Rails using the 2-in-1 Connector, as shown.

CLEANING
The vinyl head rail and bottom rail can be wiped clean with a damp sponge. To clean the shade fabric, use a feather duster or vacuum lightly using the soft brush attachment.
