PARTS INCLUDED

HARDWARE AND PARTS INCLUDED

TOOLS REQUIRED

MOUNTING THE BRACKETS

NOTE: The shades have pre-drilled holes in the top of the headrail. You will use these holes as a guide for your bracket placement. If using your screws instead of those provided, be sure to pre-drill a small hole with a 5/64″ drill bit before the final screws go in to attach brackets.

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 centre 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: If using your screws instead of those provided, be sure to pre- drill a small hole with a 5/64” drill bit before the final screws go in to attach brackets.

1. Centre 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.
   *If you are using wall anchors, pre-drill with a 1/4” bit instead, and tap the wall anchors into the holes with a hammer before drilling in the screws.

ATTACHING THE SHADE

INSIDE AND OUTSIDE MOUNT
IMPORTANT: The cords running along the underside of the headrail must be able to move freely. To avoid tangling or damage to the cords, make sure the “wings” of the wingnut are facing the sides of the window.

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.

ATTACHING THE LIFT HANDLE

• CORDLESS WOVEN WOOD SHADES
  NOTE: Cordless woven wood shades come with a clear plastic handle to help protect the fabric over multiple uses.

1. At the bottom pleat of the woven wood shade, locate the sewn-in hem bar.
2. Clip the handle to the centre of the bottom hem bar.
3. To operate, grab the handle with your hand, and gently lift or lower the hem bar; the shade will stay in place when released.

PROGRAMMING AND USING YOUR REMOTE

MOTORIZED WOVEN WOOD SHADES
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. Your shade’s motor and remote(s) are pre-programmed at the factory and are ready to use once the shade is installed. Look for the tag with two numbers on the back of each bottom rail. This indicates which channel and remote your shade is programmed to.
All you have to do is install the battery in the remote. Open the battery compartment at the bottom of the remote and insert the lithium battery into the round slot, positive side up. Slide the battery cover back onto the remote.

MOUNTING BATTERY PACK
For 1) outside mount and for 2) inside mount with a shallow windowsill, you won’t have room behind the headrail to attach the battery pack. You can either

1. attach the battery pack to the wall near the window, or 2) vertically inside the shallow windowsill, below the headrail, and as far back as possible. Note: Be sure your placement of the battery pack allows for uninterrupted operation of your shade and window.

1. To attach battery pack for outside mount:
   The most important thing to remember is to use a pencil and a level to make sure your mounting clips are aligned when you attach them to the wall. Slide the battery pack into place on the clips when ready.

2. To attach battery pack for shallow inside mount:
   With a pencil and a level, make sure the mounting clips are aligned vertically when you attach them inside the windowsill, as far back as possible toward the glass, so as not to interfere with the shade’s operation. Slide the battery pack into place on the clips when ready.

HOW TO USE THE REMOTE

• Press and hold the Down button to lower the shade. You can release when the shade begins lowering.
• Press and hold the Up button to raise the shade. You can release when the shade begins rising.
• Press the Stop button to halt the up or down movement. If you later choose to program a favourite position, holding the Stop button will automatically lift or lower the shade to this position.
• Choose a channel by pressing the Channel Increase and Channel Decrease buttons. The Channel Display at the top of the remote will illuminate the channel you are currently on.
• To operate all your shades at the same time, set the remote to Channel 5, and then press the Channel Increase button. This will illuminate all the Channel Display lights, which activates motors on all channels.

PAIRING THE REMOTE WITH A MOTOR
NOTE: The factory pairs each of your shades to the remote. The following steps are only necessary if you want to change how the channels are configured, or if you are adding a new shade to a remote already in use.

1. Plug the battery pack into the shade.
2. Set the remote to whichever channel you want to program the shade to.
3. Push and hold the button on the battery pack until the shade jogs.
4. With your finger, quickly press and hold the Confirm (C) button on the back of the remote.

When the shade jogs (a quick up and down movement), the remote is paired to the channel you’ve chosen.

DELETING A CHANNEL FROM THE MOTOR
NOTE: Removing a remote or channel from a shade does not delete or reset the limit settings.

1. Select the channel you’d like to disconnect the shade from.
2. Press the Confirm button repeatedly (about 3 – 7 presses); the shade will jog three individual times. After the third jog, your channel is removed from the shade, and ready to be assigned to a new channel or a new remote.

ADJUSTING UPPER AND LOWER LIMITS
NOTE: The upper and lower limits are already set up at the factory, so the following steps are only necessary if you want to change how these settings are configured. Both limits must be reprogrammed in these instructions.

1. Start with the shade fully raised. For a few seconds, press and hold the Limit button until the shade jogs. Your motor is now in programming mode.
2. Press Down to lower the shade until it’s almost to the bottom, then press Stop. From here, repeatedly press Down to lower the shade slowly.
3. When the shade reaches the desired bottom position, flip the remote and use your pen to press the Confirm button. The shade will jog to acknowledge that your lower limit is now set, but the motor is still in programming mode.
4. Press Up to raise the shade until it’s almost to the top, then press Stop. From here, repeatedly press Up to raise the shade slowly.
5. When the shade reaches the desired top position, flip the remote and use your pen to press the Confirm button. The shade will jog to acknowledge that your upper limit is now set, and the motor will automatically exit programming mode.

SETTING A FAVORITE POSITION (OPTIONAL)

1. Start with the shade raised fully, then press the Down button for the shade to lower.
2. Press Stop at the position you wish to save as your favourite.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the Limit button and the Up button, until the shade jogs. Your favourite position is now set. If you wish to change your favourite position, simply repeat these steps again.

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.
