returns.
VIEW FROM ABOVE Valance
Mounting Bracket Return
If the fit is correct, follow the remaining steps in this section to hang the blind in the mounting brackets.
3.2 Prepare the Blind:
a. If the blind has a plug-in power supply, carefully remove the bundled
length of power cable from inside the headrail. Decide now where the power
cable will be routed and orient it accordingly, but for safety, keep it
bundled and wrapped until step 5.2.

Bundled Power Cable
b. Extend the blind by grasping the center of the bottom bar and pulling it away from the headrail. This is done to separate the top slat from the headrail so that the slat is clear of the mounting brackets in step 3.3. It is not necessary to extend the blind fully.
3.3 Hang the Blind:
a. Insert the headrail between and into the mounting brackets, and also into
the center support, if applicable.
b. Close each bracket door, pressing it firmly closed to ensure the tab on the bracket engages through the slot in the bracket door.

If the valance does not fit around the mounting brackets, re-measure and adjust the mounting bracket positions before hanging the blind.
The power cable must remain connected to the EDU as shown above. Use caution when removing the bundled power cable from the headrail to avoid disturbing the position of the antenna wire. Reposition the antenna wire as shown if necessary.
4 Secure the Blind:
Install a bracket lock on each mounting bracket.

5 Power Up the Blind:
NOTE: Blinds are manufactured for battery power or wired power according to the original order. The two types are not interchangeable or convertible.
5.1 Battery powered blinds
Install the batteries only as indicated in the battery holders on the front of
the headrail. The shade button (see Section 6) will flash red/green 3 times
when blind is powered. If the batteries are not inserted correctly, the blind
may not power up.
DO NOT mix old and new batteries, DO NOT install carbon-zinc or rechargeable
batteries, and DO NOT mix battery types. Use ONLY 1.5 V alkaline D size
batteries (Lutron recommends Duracell® or RAYOVAC®), or 1.5 V lithium AA size
batteries.
Inserting AA Batteries
! WARNING: RISK OF FIRE. Improperly installed lithium batteries can cause fire resulting in serious injury or death. DO NOT install backwards. Use only lithium batteries safety recognized by UL or other applicable local government safety agencies.
Inserting D Batteries
5.2 Blinds with plug-in power supply
· Unwrap the power cable and plug it into the individual power supply.
· Route and secure all wiring, ensuring it will not interfere with the
operation of the blind.
· Plug the individual power supply into a compatible electrical outlet. The
shade button (see Section 6) will flash red/green 3 times when the blind is
powered.
5.3 Connecting to a power supply panel
· Unroll the power cable from inside the headrail and cut off the barrel
connector.
· Make connections according to the instruction guide included with the
10-output power supply panel. The shade button (see Section 6) will flash
red/green 3 times when the blind is powered.
· Route and secure all wiring, ensuring it will not interfere with the
operation of the blind.
Wired-power blinds must be connected using cable rated CLS2X or better. Connect to a Lutron 12 VDC power source only.

6.1 Determine control intent
The blind features a single LED-equipped control button (the `shade button’),
located on the Electronic Drive Unit (EDU), in the headrail near the left end
of the blind. The shade button is used to activate and indicate various steps
while assigning and programming the blind for compatible handheld or system-
based remote control. a. If the Caséta Smart Bridge or a Lutron RA2 Select
system is
installed, use the Lutron App to program and control the blind. b. To assign a
Pico wireless control without a system, follow the
steps in section 6.2. c. To assign a Lutron 4-Group RF remote control without
a system,
follow the steps in section 6.3.

O Troubleshooting:
Problem
The blind does not power up when batteries are inserted
The blind does not power up when the power supply is connected
Solution
· Verify all batteries are new and of the correct type
· Remove all batteries and reinstall, ensuring they are oriented correctly
· Ensure the EDU power connector is fully inserted (see location of EDU power
connector at right)
· Verify the electrical outlet used is powered
· Ensure the power wire is properly connected
· Ensure the EDU power connector is fully inserted (see location of EDU power
connector at right)
Problem
The blind does not respond to remote control
The shade button LED flashes RED
Solution
· Ensure the remote control is within the product’s RF range; 30 ft (9 m)
· Inspect the antenna and ensure it is routed and secured in the notches as
shown at right; correct if necessary
· If a system is installed, ensure the remote control is assigned in the app
· An obstacle is preventing the blind from moving to the desired position or
preset
· If this condition occurs while setting the View, Privacy, or Favorite
position (Section 6), the slats may be closed too tightly — open the slats
slightly, then save the new position
Problem
Solution
Tilt action is slow, and/or the shade button LED is RED
· Batteries are low; remove all batteries and replace with new ones, ensuring they are oriented correctly
The blind does not respond and the shade button LED is flashing or constant RED
· Batteries are dead; remove all batteries and replace with new ones, ensuring they are oriented correctly
After installing new batteries, the blind does not respond
