HARDWARE AND PARTS INCLUDED

TOOLS REQUIRED

1. 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 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 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 droplets 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.) 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 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.

Getting Started
Before doing anything, you must first slide the
Universal Cord Tensioner (UCT) to the bottom of the
bead chain loop.
1. Insert a small screwdriver, punch, or
awl through the screw hole at the
bottom of the UCT.
2. While pressing the UCT release
buttons on the sides of the UCT,
move the screw hole down to
release the safety mechanism.
3. Slide the UCT down to the
bottom of the bead chain
loop.
4. Install the window covering.
5. Use the following instructions to secure the UCT.
WARNING: A damaged, loose, or missing tension
device poses a strangulation risk to children.
Remove from use and repair or replace if the tension
device is damaged, loose, or missing.
CAUTION: The window covering will not operate
properly unless the UCT is secured.

Required Tools
• Pencil
• Small-tip Phillips screwdriver
• Power drill with two drill bit sizes:
— For applications not requiring
wall anchors, use a 1/8″ drill bit
and drill 11/4″ deep.
— For applications requiring
anchors, use a 7/32″ drill bit.
CAUTION: Use wall anchors if the mounting screws
will not be secured into wood or metal. For metal
surfaces, sheet metal screws are recommended.
Install the UCT in a location that minimizes
access by children and pets. Locate the UCT
so it will not interfere with the window
covering operation.
Only the supplied UCTs and UCT hardware
should be used.

Wall Anchors
If only drywall is available for mounting,
a wall anchor is required to ensure a secure
attachment of the UCT. If the screw or screws can
be fastened into wood or metal (even if the wood is
behind drywall), a wall anchor is not necessary.
1. If no wood or metal is available to hold the
screw, mark the hole position as shown in the
procedures below.
2. Drill a 7/32″ pilot hole through the drywall for each
wall anchor at the locations you marked.
3. Tap each wall anchor into its pilot hole until the
flange of the anchor is flush with the drywall.
4. Align the UCT or bracket holes to the anchors.
5. Attach the tensioner or bracket using the provided
11/2″ screws.
NOTE: When mounting into wood or metal, drill 1/8″
pilot holes.

Choose a Mounting Option
The Universal Cord Tensioner (UCT) can be mounted
in one of three ways:
• For outside mount (OB) products:
— “Outside Mount” on page 6. This attaches
the UCT to a bracket secured to the wall
outside the window casement.
• For inside mount (IB) products, you have two
choices:
— “Inside Mount with a Bracket” on page 10.
This attaches the UCT to a bracket secured to
the inside of the window casement.
— “Inside Mount without a Bracket” on
page 13. This attaches the UCT directly to
the inside of the window casement.
NOTE: If mounting to a textured or uneven
surface, use the provided mounting bracket.
IMPORTANT: For all mounting options, locate the
UCT is as close to the window glass as possible to
minimize accessibility by children and pets. Be sure
the UCT is not placed in the path of the bottom rail
or fabric.

Outside Mount
1. Break off the Outside Mount (OB)
bracket.
2. With the Universal Cord Tensioner
(UTC) at the bottom of the bead
chain loop, position it at the desired
location.
3. Mark the wall at the notch in the
UCT.
4. Hold the OB bracket with its center hole
aligned with the mark and mark both screw hole
locations.
5. Drill the screw holes.
— Determine whether or not wall anchors are
required (see “Wall Anchors” on page 4)
and drill either 1/8″ pilot holes (no wall anchor)
or 7/32″ pilot holes (with wall anchor).
6. Mount the UCT bracket.
a. If wall anchors are required, first tap them into
the pre-drilled holes.
b. Use a Phillips screwdriver and the longer screws
provided to attach the bracket to the wall.
7. Attach the UCT to the bracket
a. Press the UCT release buttons on the sides
of the UCT while pulling down on the springloaded screw hole.
b. Insert the nub on the outside mount bracket
into the back of the screw hole in the UCT.
c. Insert the small provided screw into the nub
through the front of the screw hole and tighten
it to secure the UCT to the bracket.
8. Ensure the bead chain can move freely through
the UCT without engaging the lock. The center of
the screw hole should be aligned with the notch in
the UCT (±1/8″).
— If the bead chain does not move freely through
the UCT, the bead chain is too tight, and the
UCT should be moved up.
— If the UCT locks onto the bead chain, the
bead chain is too loose and the UCT should be
moved down.
CAUTION: Do not pull the screw hole down to the
bottom of the slot. This may cause the bead chain
to become too tight, affecting window covering
function and increasing bead chain wear.

through the front of the screw hole and tighten
it to secure the UCT to the bracket.
8. Ensure the bead chain can move freely through
the UCT without engaging the lock. The center of
the screw hole should be aligned with the notch in
the UCT (±1/8″).
— If the bead chain does not move freely through
the UCT, the bead chain is too tight, and the
UCT should be moved up.
— If the UCT locks onto the bead chain, the
bead chain is too loose and the UCT should be
moved down.
CAUTION: Do not pull the screw hole down to the

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 favorite
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
The 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 activate 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.
CONFIRM
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 your favorite position,
simply repeat these steps.

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.
