3. MOUNTING THE TENSION DEVICE
CONTINUOUS CORD LOOP SHADES
NOTE: The cord tension device, also known as the “chain tensioner,” is used to help protect pets and young children from a potential choking hazard. If there is plastic or any protective bands on the chain, remove them before proceeding.
1. Raise your shade fully so it’s out of the way.
2. Pinch the ends of the tensioner together to release the grip on the chain, then pull the tensioner to the bottom of the chain loop.
3. While keeping the chain pulled tightly, place the tensioner against the inside of the window or on the wall, moving it up about 1/8 of an inch. The goal is to make the chain taut but just slightly loose for smooth operation.
4. Holding the tensioner in place, mark the two screw holes with your pencil. Move the chain away and use the marks to pre-drill your screw holes with a 5/64″ drill bit.
5. Align the holes in the tensioner with the pre-drilled holes and fasten the screws, being careful NOT to over-tighten the screws.
6. To use your shade, simply pull the front of the chain to raise it, and pull the back of the chain to lower it.

4. PROGRAMMING AND USING YOUR REMOTE
MOTORIZED ROMAN 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.

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.

STEP 4 CONFIRM (C)

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.

CONFIRM (C)

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 favorite. 3. Simultaneously press and hold the Limit button and the Up button, until the shade jogs. Your favorite position is now set. If you wish to change the favorite position, simply repeat these steps again.

1. MOUNTING THE BRACKETS
NOTE: Corded and cordless 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 own 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 center 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 own 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. Center 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.

2. 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.
3. If you have a corded shade, pull the cords down and toward the center of the window to release the cord lock and lower it. To raise it, pull the cords down and away from the window to engage the cord lock so your shade stays in position

3. ATTACHING THE CORD CLEAT
CORDED LIFT
WARNING: Blinds and shades with cords present a strangulation risk for young children and pets. Cord cleats are included as an important safety feature. Please follow the steps below to properly install them. If you need extra cleats, call our Customer Care team and we’ll send them to you for free.
1. Place the cord cleat inside, or next to the window frame, so it’s well out of reach of small hands and paws (typically 4′-5′ above the floor). For inside mount, be sure the cleat is set behind the fabric, close to the window.
2. Use your pencil to mark through the hole in the cord cleat. You can pre- drill a hole with a 5/64″ drill bit to make the screw easier to install, if you prefer.
3. Align the hole in the cord cleat with your mark and attach with screw provided. Do NOT over-tighten the screw!
4. After lifting or lowering the shade with the control cords, wrap the cords around the cord cleat to safely tuck them away. If you choose to install 2 cord cleats on one window, repeat steps 1-3 to install the second cleat upside-down, just under the first one. You can then wrap your cords in a figure 8 around both cleats.

4. ATTACHING THE LIFT HANDLE
CORDLESS ROMAN SHADES
NOTE: Cordless roman shades come with a clear plastic handle to help protect the fabric over multiple uses.
1. At the bottom pleat of the roman shade, locate the sewn-in hem bar.
2. Clip the handle to the center 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.

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. 3. If your roman shade has wrinkles, you can use a basic steamer to remove them. Hold the steamer roughly six inches away from the fabric and
wave the steamer back and forth over the wrinkled areas.
